I don't understand it either, but I like it

Congratulations, their sign worked. You're not just thinking about Arby's, but you are actively compelling others to think about it. Arby's slogan is "we have the Meats" and the prominently display the cow, pig, chicken icons on their ads.

This is just advertising. Everything about it is designed to get attention, so congrats on falling for it. They wish vegetarians would flip out about it and give Arby's a bunch of free publicity on their dime. They aren't the only major restaurant to straight up make fun of vegetarians, either.

>>6501777

I think it's supposed to be ironic as in - Don't worry, faggots, we serve all the animals.

Vegetarians who choose the lifestyle based on animal rights complain about animal abuse in the meat processing industry. When targetting Arby's, said activists usually talk about how cows are mistreated and eating beef from such a corrupt industry is wrong. The ad is a cheeky jab at the fact that Arby's also has turkey and chicken sandiwches in addition to beef.

What's funny about those vegetarian faggots on Reddit is that they apparently don't realize Arby's is one of the more veg-friendly fast food joints.

I don't eat meat but when I go there, I'll usually get the fries, jalapeno bites and either chopped salad or mozzarello sticks/potato cakes

Some people consider white meats to be vegetarian.

Why would the writers even think of having a boy move into a world-of-cute-grils anime? I honestly doubt that.

>>6501917
Vegetarians are healthier than non-vegetarians by every metric of health. They only get a few grams lesser protein than omnivores on average. That doesn't necessarily mean that vegetarianism is healthier before you get your panties in a twist. Just that as a group vegetarians are healthier.

Of course a vegetarian who eats at Arby's will probably be as unheallty as the meat-eater who eat there regularly or even worse.

>>6501961
Then why do they always look shriveled and old and dead inside?

>>6501961
>That doesn't necessarily mean that vegetarianism is healthier
Filthy carnist lies.

>>6501917
You're going to fucking Arby's so I don't think health is really on your mind in that situation. Who knows what he eats the rest of the time?

>>6501974
*puts fingers in a v shape and licks them intensely*

>>6501777
It's a tongue and cheek ad to get people talking. It's basically saying real meat is beef and pussy meat is turkey and chicken. So to a complete meat head turkey might be something faggy to eat. Faggy like a vegetarian. It's a stretch but it gets people's attention.

>>6501869
How the fuck is Burger King not overpriced? I don't know if they still have them but their chicken parm sandwich was 5 fucking dollars for something barely bigger than a mcchicken.

>>6501917
>he expects a healthy meal from a fast food joint
I bet you're one of those lardos that thinks they're poor, but has fast food 7 times a week, huh?

>>6501974
Nah, it's true m8. vegetarians that care for themselves and watch what they eat are probably as healthy as meat eaters that care for themselves and watch what they eat.

I know people like things in black and white, but it's just not that way, irl. We like to make up strawmen to fight, that vegetarians are retarded hipster faggots, and meat eaters are murdering innocent crying baby animals left and right in a brutal way.

The fact is most people are stupid, and they just try to emulate people around them, so you end up with a lot of idiots doing something and they don't know how or why, but they feel they're right and they'll argue the point ad infinitum.

>>6501794
This. Exactly this. Arby's is being clever.

Publicity is always desirable, and I doubt they care how many vegetarians they piss off. Vegetarians are not the Arby's target market.

>>6501972
You're thinking of vegans. Vegetarians still have access to eggs/dairy products/honey/fish and poultry if that specific person eats those/whatever else.

>>6502061
BK's veggie burger is actually pretty damn good and it's only $3.50 if you don't get it as a meal. It's pretty small though so you might need to buy two.

>>6501787

>>6502803
actually buttered potatoes contain pretty much all needed nutrients for life and you can survive off them indefinitely. just the loads of cheese give it an unhealthy edge.

>>6502858
Almost all. There's like one thing missing, but you could get that by eating some beans, or cereal

>>6502858
>>6502895

Is this true? What is it that they lack?

I guess it makes sense. That potato famine in Ireland nearly made the Irish go extinct after all.

>>6501890
>What's funny about those vegetarian faggots on Reddit is that they apparently don't realize Arby's is one of the more veg-friendly fast food joints.
>I don't eat meat but when I go there, I'll usually get the fries, jalapeno bites and either chopped salad or mozzarello sticks/potato cakes

That's the shittiest "veg-friendly" meal I can imagine. Taco Bell can make tacos, burritos, or tons of other things veggie to order. (They stopped using lard in beans decades ago.) Subway makes veggie footlongs. BK has decent veggie burgers. Chipotle has great tofu or bean burritos. Wendy's has baked potatoes.

How the fuck do you compare those to some deep fried potatoes/cheese/peppers and a 3-day-old plastic-wrapped salad?

Is there something about Arby's deep fried potato cakes that makes them more veg-friendly than french fries at basically *anywhere*? (I.e. are they fried in separate oil from deep fried chicken?) The only way I'd rate them among the best veg-friendly fast food joints is if I lived off fried mozzarella sticks and iceberg lettuce until my brain atrophied.

I think the joke is that vegetarians are often offered poultry because people equate meat to cows and pigs. My Big Fat Greek Wedding took it a step further when they offered lamb to the vegetarian fiance.
>A chicken's not a vegetable
(inb4 nobody gets that, where my 90s ausbros at?)

>>6502972
How fucking retarded are you? How fat are you where you think you should be using fast food joints for even a half-decent meal?

If you read the whole fucking post, you could tell by context that I meant it at least has more options.

No shit I'm not going to go out of my way for Arby's. But when I go with friends, at least I'm not just getting an order of fries.

No shit beaner food has more vegetarian options. But it's still better than my options at McDonalds or Hardees. Maybe tied with Wendys.

>>6503038
>...I meant it at least has more options.

It has more options of deep fried crap. Here's how I'd rate fast food restaurants for veg-friendliness:

OK: Do they have normal entrées that are vegetarian on the menu (e.g. bean burritos, veggie burgers/sandwiches, scrambled eggs all day)?

Passable: Do they have side dishes that are at least reasonably healthy (e.g. baked/mashed potatoes, steamed/boiled vegetables, whole fruit)?

Shit: They have deep fried appetizers and/or a weak-ass salad.

I can't think of any fast food restaurants that has less than what I consider shit-tier, which is exactly what Arby's has. Arby's actually had baked potatoes until five or ten years ago. I mean you *might* be able to talk them into making you a lettuce/tomato/cheese sandwich, if you aren't fussy about the poultry feathers/human hair in their buns, but at BK for example, if you don't like their veggie patties, you can also order a "Veggie Whopper" as a standard off-menu item, and their buns are feather/hair-free (they've paid careful attention to ingredient issues like that for decades...they don't use lard for mouthfeel or sneak animal products in under "natural flavors" the way McDonald's does).

You have to factor in whether or not their fried shit is made in the same fryer as the meat/made in oil that has meat byproducts. I haven't met many vegetarians who don't worry about that too. My friend can't even eat french fries where we go some of the time because their oil has beef in it.

Your friend is a hypochondriac almost as bad as most holoistic healers.

No, that's not it at all.

Arby's is known as a roast beef restaurant. So the answer is a troll response as part of this conversation:

Vegifag: "I don't want to eat at Arby's. They just have roast beef."

Troll: "Don't worry, vegifag, they also have turkey and chicken."

>>6501777
What's not to understand? Arby's is known for selling roast beef sandwiches, but I think in the late 90s/early 2000s they started their Market Fresh line which incorporated a wide variety of lunch meats into their menu, like deli turkey, smoke chicken, sweet ham, etc. The point is that they're trying to remind their potential buyers that they have more than roast beef, along with the other icons--pork and fish in this case.

>>6509586
Here's your reply.

The joke is that a lot of people in the early 2000s claimed they could eat fish and chicken and still call themselves vegetarians.

Vegetarians/vegans are delusional childish fucks.

>>6509702

this.

>>6503260
Not really; the company itself wasn't going for the publicity in that case or didn't start the fire. They weren't advertising the Chik-fil-a Day thing that happened.

I think it was the talk shows or radio shows that really made that meme, got people to try to show support.

All the company itself did, was the President said he had a stance on something, people flipped out, people counter flipped out to defend it, lot of flipping out, but it wasn't an official thing so much as a bunch of free advertising that fell in their lap.

Now it's over, people believe it was about this or that, or believe "Well Chik-fil-a hates/loves ____". It's like that one thing that spiraled out a few months back, it's not the company coming out with an official stance on anything as much as the guy running it saying what he was into, and a bunch of people took it all over the map.

Then they made a lot of money, because some radio personality rallied people to show their support in difference to the hate, which made the hate itself also grow as it become some odd thing.

People have since realized the marketing prospects for this sort of thing.

Some vegetarians wrongly consider chicken, turkey, and fish not to be meat. I guess this is a place that only sells meat, and so would be off-limits to vegetarians, so this is a mock advert aimed at them. God forbid it's actually aimed at people who don't realise that chicken is meat.

I like the "horsy" sauce and even regular sauce. To . and "we gots the meats" what does that even mean? and ruben an rachel? yes, I know, but rachel? just making shit up now. which is ok, inovate. and it's strange, that they now say "we got the meat" because for 6 bucks a sandwich. there was/is presious little on it. One of the redeeming things was deep fried tater cakes. Nope.Well thanks much Arby's. I can get pressed beef, tatter tots at home. See that big hat? Larson made a cartoon 'bout big cowboy hats. not impressed. I ain't either.Maybe. just maybe, if they would spend more on food and help(crew)( and less on marketing I might eat there. same with Sonic.deluged with adds, for who?

>I don't understand this sign.
Understanding concepts is a sign of high IQ.
This sign is using the advertising technique of bandwagon/snob appeal (being anti-vegan is cool camaraderie with other haters such as yourself, twitter link provided for socializing with same), emotional appeal/engage with dramatic conflict (invokes an emotional response for the love of meat, upclose image provided) and confusion/humor. The type of humor is sarcasm.

Good luck in life without your critical thinking skills, OP!
