the last line is a typo. It's "Arby's" not "Wendy's".

Wish you would have reported when they did Kingdom Hearts 2.8's release.

between Arby's amazing art, Wendy's' sarcastic remarks about random things, and Sonic's official twitter account pretty much a meme, so many brand's social media accounts are better than their actual products they sell.

Don't forget the SAO post they did, the day of the Ordinal Scale movie release. (With Asuna and Kirito's swords.) I personally saw that in my newsfeed on Facebook, and was pleasantly surprised. xD (I was on my way to see the movie when I saw the post.)

I only knew about the One Pieceone, but looking at the others, those are absolutely amazing. Interesting to see someone so on point with these franchises at Arby's.

Arby's is awesome! I'd put it as one of the most consistently good nationwide chains, if not at the very top. I've met food snobs who otherwise would turn down any chain that isn't In-N-Out sing praise about Arby's. As for the others, well, I'm not eating at Wendy's due to their outsourcing of vegetables from countries with lax labor laws, and there aren't many Sonics around here but I do enjoy their drinks.

I was actually referring to this Sonic, but the restaurant Sonic does have pretty great drinks and milkshakes.

One of my friends always "likes" their posts and they appear on my newsfeed all the time. I swear at least one or two of these geeky things a week. Pokemon, SAO, One Piece (they did an entire 3D thousand sunny-go, too), Digimon, Naruto, Sailor Moon, DB/DBZ, and even some more slightly obscure stuff, like His and Her Circumstances, Love Live, Madoka, Fire Emblem, Re:Zero, etc.

A great thing about sometimes fast-food joints (besides the pricing for some) is the pop culture tie-ins/gimmicks. A local McD's sometimes has a "Meet Batman" event.

The best marketing is the type that makes you not realize it's a commercial. That's why people love Denny's Tumblr page and Wendy's Twitter so much. Makes me glad Arby's is following the trend.
