Sept. 1971 Chronicle-Telegram ad |
There's not a trace of it left, not even a scattering of flattened Arbys Sauce packets.
I've got nothing against that particular Lorain County restaurant location or its employees, but I made my opinion known on this blog long ago about what Arby's was calling roast beef these days.
To me, the current Arby's advertising campaign to me is laughable. We're supposed to choose Arby's gelatinous, flavorless, faux-roast beef over Subway because the Arby's "meat" is sliced fresh? I'd eat anything from Subway over Arby's fare, even if it was sliced last May – no matter what Bo Dietl says.
And for those of you who need a reminder of what Arby's Roast Beef Sandwiches used to look like, here's a mouth-watering reminder (below): a 1967 magazine advertisement.
I haven't eaten at Arby's for years; their meat just ain't right.
ReplyDeleteBut it's sliced fresh, whatever it is!
ReplyDeleteWhite Castle went years and years ago but the building is still up at lease. The McD's was also something I thought would never be gone. A few weeks ago, when I saw no Arbys... and with Bookseller closed there years ago why exit 57 there when you're going to Midway.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, there's not much to recommend at that interchange--no BP gas either. Bookseller used to be a lot of fun, I miss that store.
ReplyDeleteDid Arbys ever close and then reopen? My husband and I are having a discussion about it!
ReplyDeleteI love Arby's!!! I never cared for the 'old stuff' Sorry folks, I buy em with the coupon and freeze em for later! Yum!
