I finally figured out what the new Scores logo looks like. It's like a red and yellow mullet yin yang!

Harvey's should stick to charbroiled burgers, IMO. Build a bowl of bird droppings:

fartcuntnucks

pick your protein?

Can someone rename the thread to The Inedible Canada Thread?

I just ate breakfast.

Agreed, the commercial makes it look even more disgusting. Pretty much building a salad from burger toppings. And who the hell builds a salad on fries?

I don't have cable so don't see commercials, but my friends and I saw this commercial at a bar the other day and were horrified. A chopped up burger as a salad? That is among the saddest food items ever.

My friend worked at a Harvey's in highschool back in the late 90's early 00's. He had a co-worker who talked about injecting heroin into her tear ducts to avoid track marks and also worked on phone sex lines in the off hours.

Even at my age, I sometimes read things that make me catch my breath!

"Can't be unseen alright." Mission accomplished. There's hardly any Arby's left around here. Come to think of it, I'm not sure there are any. I'm gonna google that right now.


Edit: yup, there's still a plethora around Edmonton. Must be in crappy locations....

Arby's seems like it was created by teenagers to see how many dick jokes they could get away with.

I actually used to love Arby's. Very few locations in the GTA.

Arby's only has one location left in this area. In the west end Ottawa suburb of Kanata. They once had at least two more AFAIK.

There are no Arby's locations in the province of Quebec.

I did a stint in Junior high....


One low light was eating so many cheese burgers in one shift then going to a bush party and regurgitating the burgers for the critters!!


Long live the Charbroiled burger.


Now back to regular scheduled programing.

Arby's footprint has retreated in Ontario as well. As has Burger Thing and Kentucky Dirty Bird.
On the other hand, we have A&W everywhere, and Popeyes Louisiana Chicken. And Taco Hell. Plus many pizza chains. Most of all, 587,637,139 Tim Horton's locations.
McShitties is holding steady. Wendy's too. There are fewer and fewer Harvey's locations as the years go by. I remember there were lots of Harvey's and Burger Things in Downtown Montreal, but most have since closed.

Awful logo for sure. Awful. Arby's pecker.

The logo also reminds me of Calgary's flag. Sorry, but I find that flag rather ugly.

badflags

Apparently it is quite widely disliked: https://badflags.wordpress.com/

Lethbridge's flag is the worst. Makes me think of a Penitentiary.

wikipedia

come to think of it, this might be worse:
