POTD #2 - Pick Your Side on Arby's

natleilynn

Choose carefully. This might be what divides us.

LOVE IT AND I WANT THE SAUCE ALL OVER MY BODY! AND YOU UNGRATEFUL BITCHES DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE! THERE ARE POOR SOULS LIKE ME WITH NO ARBYS AROUND!

beezeee

I haven't had it for probably 10 years, but it's awesome. Beef n Cheddar for the win.

natleilynn

I mean, I think we all know how I voted on this one. 

dajocl

I chose "Eh. It's aight. Not my top choice, but not the bottom choice." but for the record, its pretty close to the bottom.

My first job was working in one and just recently am I able to eat it again after going home with beef smell on me every day.  But now it's like I'm trying to make up for lost time....

natleilynn

@Boobopgirl that would have been a valid excuse. Anywhere you have worked in the past (food industry-wise), you have a solid pass to not eating there ever again. My brother cannot, to this day, eat at Outback. I haven't been back to Lonestar since I left that summer day.

Hell to the NO.

I love Arby's....but as far as sauces, I'm a ketchup girl. I want all the ketchup!

natleilynn

@curlyq423 that's acceptable.

@carries2018 All this Arby's talk has caused a MAJOR craving and I'm at least an hour or more from one.

Non-pregnant me has a thing for their mozzarella sticks.  I take the one-block-from-work journey at least once per month.

Pregnant me? Ewwwwww to all things Arby's, and I told you weeks ago that this is as gross as vegetables to me right now, so quit this. J/k.  (sort of)

@curlyq423 DH is like this and has taught our kids to be.  While I have no problems with ketchup in general, DH puts gobs of it on his and our kids' sandwiches/plates/etc.  Do you know how gross it is to clean off a bunch of plates with ketchup residue?  So gross.  Even non-pregnant me hates cleaning those plates.

I've never had it. I was a vegetarian for about 15 years until I had my second son and then turned meat eater, but was living overseas at the time. Now i'm pretty much veggie again for this pregnancy so I have no desire to even try it.

erink7211

@aprilsarahjune I now need mozzarella sticks. Like now. 

But not from Arby's. Sonic FTW! 

curlyq423

@aprilsarahjune Haha! Our son loves ketchup too! He loves meats, but has to dip it in ketchup.

Now I want a cherry limeade from Sonic and the closest one is like an hour away! Ugh!  

erink7211

@curlyq423
An hour?!? I am so sorry. Ours is in walking distance and we go at least once a week. It's a mile each way so that's how I justify getting all the fried things. And milkshakes. And cherry limeades.

Gahhhh yes. Personally I HATE ketchup but now DD wants it on everything thanks to DH. Then she smells like ketchup. Then I'm like I can't love you.

curlyq423

@purplestarz I just don't understand the dislike of ketchup. Makes my heart sad for you

cooaladolly

@curlyq423 @aprilsarahjune @purplestarz I like my ketchup, but after it sits and dries on a plate all I smell is pure vinegar. THAT I can't take.

Oh and guess what I had on the way to the grocery store today. Had to tide myself over and make sure I didn't shop hungry.

One problem I have with them though... I get my heart set on a milkshake before I get there and somehow they're always out. Had to have a chocolate shake instead of Jamocha. Boo.

Three weeks in a row I have eaten Arby's due to this board.  Love their medium roast beef with two Arby's sauces on the sand which two on the side for dipping.  An order of poppers and sweet tea.  Yum!

dajocl

Thank you @purplestarz for understanding that ketchup is not awesome. 

Uhlease13

No Arby's for me, sorrynotsorry! But you can't kick me out cuz sometimes Dh craves their roast beef so there's that. Lol. 

nbcarlson

I randomly crave the roast beef, but i hate the bread I only eat the meat haha. 

natleilynn

I'm just so pleased to see that the majority doesn't flat out hate it. Makes me feel somewhat validated.

dumbledoredies

Team Arby's here. There is one 2 minutes from my house. I am so lucky.

yasandson

Dont even think there is a Arbys up here. Nor a Sonic. 
And the only way i could eat ketchup is if its mixed with mayo. Think im off to having fries for breakfast. Thanks ladies! ❤️ 

Edited think not thinks 

ChocolateIsLife

Oh man, I chose "other". I was so excited about it a month ago when we had a thread going about it, but it was the most disappointing mush-sandwich that I think it truly tarnished my taste for it. I don't think I will ever have it again, but I try to remember it when it was great.

sjohns908

@ChocolateIsLife ugh I hate when they turn out mushy! I'm also super picky and can't stand it when they slice the meat super thick, I can't eat it. Now that I'm pregnant, it bothers me even more when things aren't as perfect as I like them, so I usually don't go to arbys for myself because of their inconsistency. 

beezeee

This thread has me seriously considering Arby's for lunch today.

ChocolateIsLife

@sjohns08 I completely agree about food having to be perfect now that I'm pregnant. Also DH went to Arby's last week and essentially had the same experience I had. They need to step up their game. I do love the commercials though.
