Welcome to the 1950s. They used quotes to make it clear it was the pictured character saying that. They also standardized using quotes to identify the motto on businesses and trucks. The SomeECards meme format is a caricature of that.
Bill’s Burgers “We serve pleasure”
Jack’s towing “Reliable hookers”
Manny’s Milk “We’ll deliver that white cream that puts a smile on your wife’s face”
Is everyone too distracted by the cringe to be infuriated at the punctuation? Wtf is happening with those quotation marks?

The use of a pretend quote is one thing, but what is the middle quotation mark doing?
Manny’s Milk “We’ll deliver that white cream” that puts a smile on your wife’s face"
In my case, YEP.
I was too distracted by the punctuation to really care about the cringe.
I read it 3 times trying to figure out where the quote was supposed to be before I gave up and came to the comments.
