This sketch makes a good point about advertising. You'd never hear a commercial say something like "Point-four off the regular price!" or "Now with 5/10 more chips in every cookie!" The word "percent" just makes the number sound bigger, even if it means the same thing.

I once hurt myself on a .7. I'm still a little scarred by the whole incident...

Which season is this sketch from? I am curious.

I think it's the 70 that sounds bigger than the 7, and that's what makes it better for advertising. but that's just me.

Well Harry's Hamburger Haven and Diet Lite Wet sketches are equal.

The seven is pointy.

Their writing would never fly today: The writer can't be Jewish, the white guy should be black, and the girl should be speaking Spanish.

Don't forget a stereo from "Stefan's Stereo Stuff". THAT along with Harry's and Dite Lite is the third decimal/fraction/percentage skit on Square One.
