Three-martini lunch

3-martini lunch: Don’t worry about any plot spoilers from the cast and crew of “Mad Men,” which debuts Sunday on AMC. They’ll only say that the early-1960s period piece’s characters will be dealing with change.

Here’s some “Mad Men” change The Buzz can believe in:

A woman in the typing pool sues her bosses for sexual harassment, and since she was hit on at least three times by every man at the office, she winds up owning the ad agency.

The agency is bankrupted when a client’s “space age fertilizer” poisons a town in Indiana.

The entire cast develops tobacco-related illnesses and dies.

Iron rations: They repulsed us as children — and, come to think of it, as adults, too — but now comes word that canned vegetables have taken a great leap forward in taste and nutrition.

We say the food scientist who makes canned peas palatable deserves a Nobel Prize. And a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Virtual car lot: General Motors says it will soon begin to sell cars on eBay.

So instead of the optional Tru-Coat antioxidation sealant, you’ll be upsold a dozen Hummel figurines.
