Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I like Arby's. The roast beef sandwich with their Arby's sauce, their beef and cheddar, even their chicken sandwiches. They are delicious. Their curly fries have no equal, and the potato cakes are great too.

I like Arby's, but it's weird how thin their roast beef is. Their onion rolls are bomb though.

It's called "shaved", and all sandwich meat should be like this.

I've grown to like Arby's Mozz Sticks more than Sonic's. Which is odd because at the beginning I didn't like them at all, the spicy-ish tone to it put me off. Now I can't get enough

I suspect that this a simultaneously an unpopular and opinion. From the perspective of internet culture, dunking on Arby’s and making it into a meme is popular (and therefore liking it is unpopular). On the other hand, I think the “silent majority” (including me) agree with you. So while it’s popular to say that Arby’s sucks, the more common opinion is “yeah, I’ll eat that”.

Edit: just in case this sounds like a criticism of your post, it’s not meant to be. It’s just a thought I found interesting.

Join the sandwich hunt. It's a very easy hunt.

Arby's is a bit of a comfort food for me. I had it a bunch when I was a kid, but nowadays it seems like most of the locations have all closed down, so it's pretty rare that I ever find one that's still open. Sadly, the quality has gone down pretty significantly in recent years; the sandwiches are more expensive and have less meat, and the meat doesn't taste as good as it used to, and pretty much requires that you drown it in sauce just to taste anything.

That said, I still order a bunch of beef & cheddar sandwiches whenever I go. Their French dip sandwich slaps, too. Fuck, now I want Arby's.

Actually they make a not half bad gyro, surprisingly

Source: am trucker, used to be over the road. Many truck stops have an Arby's, and I'd get the Gyro quite often

Their French Dip is okay, too, relative to other fast food options. Sadly, the one near me got rid of potato cakes. I assumed it was everywhere?

You're not totally wrong, you just haven't mentioned the bowel-ripping indigestion either.

When I worked at the mall post college I'd get their fish sandwich regularly during my lunch breaks. Underrated franchise.

Love the "Spicy Three Spices Sauce", with "Horsey Sauce"!

Their wagu burger was fucking amazing.

Potato cakes have been off the menu for a year.

Edit: a word.

Imma need you to not exist on the same planet as me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck you. Imma chill on this bomb ass ball of dirt in a bath tub full of curly fries and Arby's sauce.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

You must be one of the eight people keeping Arby's afloat.

I can't fathom devoting brainpower to arguments about which fast food chain offers superior fast food.
