You know those American Express ads in magazines with people like Tina Fey and Ellen DeGeneres where they list things about their life? I’m not sure if these ads are still out there. But I was going through some old Real Simple magazines and saw a few of those ads and I was like, Fab meme alert! So I’ve taken some items from the ads and added a few of my own and presto. I’m calling it the AmEx Mix Meme.
