I read that as $2.48 and thought maybe some guys from arbys were going to buffalo wild wings for lunch and they were having some sort of really cheap special.

There's probably a bunch of people at at like both Arbys corporate and Buffalo Wild Wings corporate who are losing their minds right now because this is such an important part of their lives "Wow this is the most consequential thing I've ever been a part of" -some Arbys person they aren't even wrong it is a very big deal like that's so much money ---------------- |

I just...can you imagine two less essential restaurants than Arby's and Buffalo Wild Wings? If every single one disappeared, nobody would miss a beat. And yet here they are, merging for not just millions, but billions of dollars.

Also, here is my Arby's story. So, I knew they were poo poo, but there is one next to my work, but I was hungry, and I was sure they must have something that wasn;t awful. I got mozza sticks. Mozza sticks are two things, cheese, and breading, deep fried. How can you screw that up? Well, they did.

Same, I thought the OP was making a joke about one Z-grade brand buying another Z-grade brand for pocket change, but I think the real purchase price is actually a bigger joke. That said, I do like me some Arby's classic roast beef sandwiches on occasion, self-abusing gutwreckers that they are. ---------------- |

Beef n Cheddars are pretty good but I only get like one every other year so it's like some trashy treat or something. Arby's curly fries are a good curly fry. I have never been to a buffalo wild wings but I imagine it to be WILD Also I am not joking as I was typing this out there was an Arby's commercial on TV and the ending phrase was "Arby's, we don't make sense, we make sandwiches".

That would have got you like two and a half B-2 stealth bombers, instead of a restaurant chain that feels more like a psychological experiment plumbing the depths of human dignity that can be willingly discarded by consumers. |

Oh god, Beef N' Cheddars are what you might think would be one of the more promising Arby's menu items, and somehow they manage to blow it spectacularly with bland cheese product and that terrible-rear end sweet red sauce. You probably get them so rarely because your mind keeps forgetting how awful they are, and then it cruelly lulls you into thinking absurdly hopeful ideas like "Well, it has been a couple years, they probably switched up the ingredients providers and it's different now!" ---------------- |

I get that you guys don't like B Dubs but if the 2.4 billion is surprising, you are vastly underestimating America's appetite for sad mediocre chicken wings and beer served in a "sports" setting. Their slogan is "Wings. Beer. Sports." They're America's pub  Also Paul Givens is a absolute monster. My bro is like: "How dare you talk poo poo about B Dubs. Approach me." And then he just eviscerates that guy Mortal Kombat style.

This sounds about right, and I did say trashy treat, like "oh its fast food that isn't a burger" as if that somehow makes it better, even if it is just meat with mediocre cheese sauce and some pretty good curly fries. I think it just comes down to being something different? The inconsistency I get them would back that up like you said.

their corporate slogan was recently changed to "arbys: we've got the meats," which was a clue... this was the first part of their mission to fulfill that statement. they had roast beef, they now have chicken. next are fish, pork, lamb, turkey, and bison. BWW is just the tip of the iceberg, fellas. by the time the meat megacorporation is formed, trillions will have been spent. lives will be lost, but you can't make a meat omelette

Zoo had one, yeah just one, and it was a mango habanero one but it got depressed being all by itself and refused to fly. Eventually they put it in with the regular buffaloes thinking that it wouldn't fly away, but jokes on them, IT FLEW AWAY. I hope it flew all the way up to that dang ol moon.
