Arby’s is advertising that their chicken sandwiches are now made with “100% natural chicken.”
Um, fantastic.
But as an erstwhile Arby’s Cordon Blue consumer, I gotta ask . . . WHAT WAS I EATING THEN?!
And, sure, I could go to Arby’s today and get a sandwich made with 100% natural chicken . . . only to be watching the TV next month and see a commercial that informs me that Arby’s has switched to making their sandwiches with only 100% all natural BREAD.
I mean, fer crissakes, they’ve announced that their New Arby’s Chicken Naturals[sup]TM[/sup] Cordon Bleu is made with 100% natural chicken, but there’s ham on there, too! HAM! If they think that their new 100% natural chicken is exciting and unusual enough to warrant a national ad campaign, their silence on the composition of their ham is a bit damning, don’t you think!?
I had the same reaction as the OP to that commercial. I didn’t hear anything about how the chickens were fed, my brain just heard “Now with 100% real chicken!” and all I could thinks was “what the hell did it used to be??” :dubious:
Arby’s commercial track record is questionable lately anyway. Don’t forget the guy who see’s his wife in fishnets, beckoning him to ravish her, so he he immediately gets a craving for a fish sandwich. :rolleyes:
Microsoft’s latest adverts for Office make me think this as well - “Office has evolved”, showing a bunch of dinosaurs sitting around using old versions of Office and getting things wrong, a not-so-tacit admission that the old versions were rubbish.
So, why should we think that the new ones are any better? :dubious:
I like the fishnets commercial- since I got the joke when I saw it the 2nd time (I think both times, the line “Are those fishnets?” had been clipped out- I know I hadn’t heard it till a later viewing.)
Nah, that’s not it. You have to follow the logical progression of the guy’s thoughts. Somehing like “Hey, my wife in sexy clothes! That means she’s in a sexy mood! That means sex! I love sex! The feel, the smell! Feels like heaven! Smells like…Ooooh, fish sammich!”
