    This post is attracting a lot of trolls. You guys are handling it great, so I’m not going to lock it. Reminder to not take any of the downvotes or "calm down"s seriously.

    Doesn’t that mean it was corporate pandering all along?

    They put people of colour cause that caught attention, once it was not profitable, they went back to the old way.

    When was the last time anyone here ate at Arby’s? It’s one of those places for me at least that only gets brought up by my parents on where they want to go, and for me it’s always ugh really?

      They have the best fish sandwich of all fast food restaurants. And other “unique” foods: Greek gyro pita, corned beef ruben. Hell, even their cold turkey sandwich is good. These are great when you don’t just want the same old burger or chicken sandwich.

        I actually wonder how this affected Arby’s because every Simpsons fan I know quotes this.

        And the one time I went to Arby’s, it was real disgusting.

      Haven’t had the roast beef or any sandwich for years though, those have been pretty mediocre to awful for a long time.

      Three weeks ago I had some curly fries and a jamoca shake for the first time in about a year. They were still pretty darn good!

      I don’t think it exists where I live anymore. There used to be one in a mall when I was in high school ~20 years ago. I think I bought curly fries from them once.
