Once a week, the mailman stuffs my box with a handful of fast food and pizza ads that usually go directly into the fireplace. This week, I kinda peeked by accident and what did I see but an Arby's ad touting the new fish sandwich. All you have to do is tell me something is new and I'm right on it. The verdict: Folks, don't waste your $2. The previously frozen fish was room temperature, mushy-mushy and flavorless, possibly not cooked long enough despite the golden brown exterior. Mysterious then, that the cheese slice was melted beyond all reasonable recognition. Only one thing can explain this sad state of affairs: the microwave. Ugh!/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More "Bread Crumbs"
Question: Anyone use those pizza/fast food direct-mail ads?
