    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.

    So long have white people yearned for representation in media. Never getting to see people that look like them on the television. Justice finally being done for white people.

      Yeah, I could have picked three random ads with white people a couple years ago too… It’d be different if they had, like, numbers showing more ads were using just white people or something than before.

          It’s the highest degree of freemasonry, and also believed to be the age Jesus was when he died. It’s a major theme in a lot of conspiracy theories that the powers that be tend to sneak the number into things they control, either as gang like tagging or because they believe it gives them power.

          Nothing that I know of. Any ither use of 33 is unrelated. Could’ve been orange, or bench. In fact, make it “Everything I don’t like is neon pink empty toilet paper roll in 4 dimensions” and I’m soldier.

    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?

        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.

          I don’t think it affected them negatively, if you are into warm deli meat slathered in cheesewhiz you know where to find it. Nobody can make food unappetizing the way Arby’s can. They cater to a niche 2 percent of the population with a specific autism.

      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!

      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.

      advertisements are brainwashing. think about it: if a company spends $1K on advertisement, it expects to make at least as much through increased sales. That’s the money they steal from you.

        $1K on advertisement

        Add a lot of zeros to that.

        Most companies spend a lot more on advertisement than developing their product.

        Either ads don’t work on me and so it’s good for the advertisement companies when I block them and don’t waste bandwidth, or they do work on me and in that case it’s fucking brainwashing and can fuck right off.

      It’s kind of weird because I don’t eat at Arby’s, but a few years back Arby’s bought Buffalo Wild Wings??? I’m terribly confused because I feel like more people eat at Buffalo Wild & pay more to do so. Which begs the question: how in the hell does Arby’s have the money to buy BWW? 🤔
