Noodlesoup fighting the power by writing ad copy for Arby's.

Last night, I wanted to eat something large and filling before a showing of Weapons. Oh, how confounded I was thinking of where to go. Should I go to the local Mexican joint that I always frequent? Or maybe I should whip something up real quick in the kitchen? And that's when it hit me: when was the last time I had Arby's?

So, there I was in the drive-thru. Aside from these two cars in the parking lot (presumably belonging to employees), I was the only soul there craving some Arby's. Considering that it was 6 PM at the time, I found it to be a bit worrying. Nevertheless, I pushed on and placed my order. I ordered a Chicken Bacon Swiss meal with curly fries and a diet coke, a 5-piece of jalapeño bites, and a Greek Gyro. Please excuse my greed, okay; I only eat one meal a day after all.

Okay, now it's time to dig in. I unwrapped my Chicken Bacon Swiss and took a big hearty bite out of it. Holy shit, dude. The chicken filet tasted *just* right—none of that rubbery nonsense here. Bacon was crispy, swiss cheese was banging, and the honey mustard added a delightful sweetness to the whole ordeal. My only negative was that the sauce made all the contents on the sandwich behave like it was a damn slip 'n' slide. 9/10.

Then I had the curly fries. Man...oh, man. Fresh, crunchy. It's pretty hard to fuck up curly fries, but you'd be surprised with how many flimsy fails I've had before. Guys, this is the gold standard for any curly fry enthusiast: 10/10. Pair it with the Bronco Berry sauce and it shoots up to an 11/10. This shit was immaculate.

On to the jalapeño bites. I damn near burned my tongue with how hot the cheese was. They weren't as spicy as I'd personally like. Still, they were better than your average popper. 8/10.

The Greek Gyro was all that was left. I'm gonna be honest: a Greek Gyro from a fast food establishment sounded like a recipe for disaster. This could've been my last meal ever, y'all. But I was blown away. The pita was nice and fluffy, gyro meat was seasoned well and tasty. This might just be the best thing you can get from a fast food joint. 10/10.

It's time to admit that the hate for Arby's is overblown. How is it that this place is running laps around all other chains while getting 5x the hate? It's a cruel world out here. Call me a shill, an anomaly, or whatever...I'm a believer now. The food is just THAT damn good. Not mid, not trash—legimately good.

I can't be the the only Arby's truther out here.
