So often signs are bland and merely informative, and they really don't offer any entertainment value. Of course, they aren't necessarily supposed to be entertaining, but they are so much more effective when they are. This sign might not have a particularly funny message, but it's the nicely obscure reference that makes it work. Apparently the sign guy at this Wendy's has a good memory for late '90s Latin dance pop music. While Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5" is not especially obscure, not everyone is going to remember the song. And even fewer people will remember that the opening line is "Ladies and Gentlemen, mambo number five."
