Thy Geekdom Come Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I just saw an Arby's commercial for the new fish sandwich. I think we all know that this is perfect timing for Lent, and it would be perfectly fine for them to say, "just in time for Lent," but no, I'm sure they don't because that might alienate all the non-Catholic people who eat large amounts of fish especially this time of year...anyone else a little bugged by this? Maybe I'm just looking too much into it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzforJesus Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 it may just be me but it seemed catholic were very involved with politics past year.. arby's is smart to make the offer now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnanc Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I don't know, I have never heard any other food advertisement on TV mention Lent in anyway. It seems good that they are aware of Lent and aren't instead coming out with a new Super Hamburger. fish is good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theculturewarrior Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 There's a restaraunt not far away that makes sandwiches on fresh bread with shrimp and grilled nopalitos (cactus), topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and sour cream. I think I might abstain from meat the whole Lent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
