that was a thing when i was in college. the Filipino Student Association adopted it as a slogan which I thought was pretty cute.
---

it seems very immature and overindulgent.
---

it's pretty sus

Yeah their social media efforts >>> commercial ads
---

It's a little infantile, but Arby's social media marketing towards millennials by jamming a million references to anime/video games seems to be working for them. A decade ago, Arby's was seen as a joke, but I daresay they're actually trendy for a fast food restaurant because of how they utilize social media.

Arby's marketing department just completely lost its mind in the last decade.

"I'm thinking Arby's" was ok. A bit too long, not that catchy. but piggybacking on an existing phrase was clever in terms of getting reminded of the product regularly.

Then they screwed up and changed it to "Good Mood Food" which feels like they think it rolls off your tongue when it actually doesn't and makes you want to change it to Gudd Mudd Fudd or Gewd Mewd Fewd, which are both ridiculous. And then they had a literal four-note jingle with that dumb "solo vocalist and acoustic guitar" feel that clearly cost them about $10 to commission.

But as bad as that was, somehow they managed to crap out "We have the meats" after that. Both rebranding themselves from the smart, fresh option to the unhealthiest food imaginable and using such an unappealing word as "meat" to represent their company, they managed to come up with the worst slogan of all time. It's like if a hairdresser changed their slogan to "we hit you in the head with an anvil until your hair falls out."

Maybe to put on a business card or something, but that jingle is one of the catchiest I've heard since "Taca-Taca-Taco Bell" (which I actually heard thaks to youtube)

Which is exactly the kind of people that find tall stacks of deli meat appealing. So they know their audience.

Diplo killed that shit.

Yeah wendy's and arby's advertising basically boils down to "Hey fellow kids! We have memes! Eat our food!"
---

Didn't Burger King have one like 10 years ago called "smell the bag" that instantly flopped?

Not sure, I assume. But it is fairly gross. Worked there for awhile , and the meat comes in these bags, and it's gelatinous. Then you stick in in some big heater thing, and it solidifies. Then you serve.

I dunno I think it is a pretty decent campaign

I say that way more often than I should. I haven't been near an Arby's in like thirteen years.
