ATLANTA, July 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Dear Vegetarians;
We respect you. We respect your life decisions. With that in mind, we want it to be abundantly clear that this letter is not meant to sway or convert you. Were sharing this to offer our support.
Nearly a year ago, we embarked on a journey to tell America about our meats. By now, youve likely heard the Arbys tagline: We Have The Meats®. Its tough to hear, but it is what it is. We have many meats. And we have quality meats.
It is understandable that you disapprove of our meat-bravado. Your voices have been heard. Letters, emails, voicemails, Tweets and Facebook comments we hear you. We love our meats, but realize theyre not for everyone.
Then on Sunday, June 28, we launched a meat innovation that has likely tempted you: Brown Sugar Bacon. Its our pepper bacon, glazed in-restaurant with brown sugar and then cooked to perfection. It may be hard to resist even for you. Hardcore vegetarians likely wont budge, but for those of you who are on the fringe or new to the game, avoidance cant be easy.
We, at Arbys, have created this temptation. So, wed like to help.
Were giving you a number to call: 1-855-MEAT-HLP. This is a Vegetarian Support Hotline. When your nose betrays you and alerts the rest of your senses to find and devour this sweet meat, please call 1-855-MEAT-HLP. You will receive the support you need to resist this gateway meat and get tips on how to avoid temptation. Delicious. Sizzling. Temptation.
Be strong. Were here for you.
Sincerely, Arbys

As a vegetarian, I appreciate this sort of humor. It reminds me of the Red Robin commercial...”we have 16 different burgers, including a veggie burger for your teenage daughter going through a phase”.
LOL!
Same here. The French Dip sandwich and curly fries are great.
And I agree with the Arby claim. There is a lot of meat in their products.
And the farting militant veggies can go to hell.

I am so hungry now. wow.
Happened to me at a BK when I was a child. Nasty. It took me years to even try it again. Still vomit inducing.
Get a bacon-cheese-burger dry, nothing on it. Then order onion rings and slap one or two on the burger.
Eat it with a shake. So good!
Remembering the “Wine Cooler” craze of the ‘80s. Gallo Winery got a good price for really ordinary (close to unsalable) wine by mixing it with flavored soas and advertising Bartles & Jaymes. Commecial success until the US Govt. raised the alcohol tax from $.17/gal to $1.07/gal in 1991.
Relatively safe drink in moderation unless some evil ass makes it part of a punch with straight spirits. Can you say hammer the anvil and hug the throne?
That brings back memories --- no idea how many braincells I killed in college with Everclear and kool-aid. Entire semesters of Calculus, Probability & Stats and more just GONE from my memory banks.
Tried the Brown Sugar Bacon BLT a couple weeks ago. It was so good I felt compelled to email their corporate office about it. Got a free meal for that.
As for those prior posters who fell ill with their first Arby’s meal, some beef is going to toss your cookies if it is not a regular part of your diet. Not pleasant, to be sure, but I doubt it is indicative of a systemic public health deficiency.
I love when they wear leather shoes.
I am so hungry now. wow. ‘
I didn't realize we had chefs that read these threads.
Do you have your own cooking show?
Thanks for the insight.

Blow your lunch punch, been there, done that.
Arbys Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich is the real deal. Only available in the Spring and Summer. I just found a kopy cat recipe on line which I made over the weekend, real close, i’ll be making it again.
After the Fluke dust up or maybe it was the Dirty Harry Bill of Attainder letter Arbys said they would no longer advertise on the Rush Limbaugh Show. I took that to mean they did not want conservative customers.
Trust me Vodka is evil as well.
My ex-GF was a Vodka nut and was evil, therefore Vodka is evil.
I like beer, and occasionally a decent Scotch. Single malt but Dewers works just fine.
