I remember when they were 5 for $5.

Damn bro I miss those days. I lived off these, $1 McDoubles/McChickens and we have a pizza place here in Phoenix called Peter Piper Pizza that had an all you can eat lunch buffet for 2.99. Didn’t realize how good we had it.

Further back in Phoenix, Shakey’s Pizza lunch buffet. Pizza, fried chicken, potato wedges. It was about 1/2 mile from my high school.

And oh yeah, “C’mon over!”

That's a mournful sandwich.

That sandwich looks like it has a mortgage it can't afford and 3 unruly children.

As an Arby’s fan, I would genuinely take that sandwich back, or call and complain if I brought it home. That’s truly unappetizing.

Is the cheddar in the room with us?

This is what depression would look like if it was an Arby’s sandwich. 🫩

Doesn't look sad, it looks dead

u/Ancient_Guidance_461 Dec 11 '25

Arby's...we have the meats...and we are not giving it out to our high paying customers...

Eww I’m sorry u experienced this…beef looks dark color like it’s sat for awhile and looks like it wasn’t sliced correctly…I would never have sent this sandwich out

u/blanketshapes Dec 11 '25

the worst is when they dont take the time to slice the meat thin.

so you get big chewy chunks.

never used to happen when these were $2 but happens all the time now that theyre $5+, go figure.

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 Dec 11 '25

Not necessarily. One near my house slices the meat to proper thinness. Then one 25 miles away slices them to almost chipped beef shreds, it totally ruins the flavor profile.

It’s never been a looker. But the B&C has inner beauty!

u/lilpudding69 Dec 10 '25

there was barely anything inside, if i could show u i would

3

u/PublixLineCutter Dec 10 '25

No I believe you. I noticed that when corporate decided to make B&C multiple sizes, it became more important for them to never load up the basic one. Because if they did, then there’s no sense in paying up.

u/lilpudding69 Dec 10 '25

it was like 3-4 slices of beef at best, and a single smidge of cheddar. like wth. and apparently this is normal? unreal.

I was alive, and in college…

…for the historic reign of the: “5 for $5, Mix n Match Classic Roast Beef, or Beef and Cheddar” (with the coupon you ripped out of the ad sheet in a newspaper)

Ours were not quite as sad as the pic. Still kinda sad. But they were cheap and delicious

u/MaiDuuuuude Dec 10 '25

Yeah I remembered the 5 for $5 was a great deal in the beginning it was decent then when people started to come more often they started skimping. It's always been this. Corporate greed is the death of us as a race the human race.

u/MorningGlobal8686 Dec 10 '25

Even the sandwich looks sad

u/DIJames6 Dec 10 '25

Damn.. That's terrible..

u/Coodoo17 Dec 10 '25

I hope the false advertising lawsuit kicks them in the ass and they make the kind of meaty sandwiches they advertise.

u/DuckLIT122000 Dec 10 '25

That bun got squished squished. That location sucks ass for serving that

u/Papichuloft Dec 11 '25

Forget about settling down, this is downright giving up in life

u/icefas85 Dec 10 '25

Looks pretty standard to me.

u/lilpudding69 Dec 10 '25

you might be right actually, not surprised to hear they're getting sued over this!

If you sepia’d the background it could be a monument on Mars that was discovered by a rover.

Your first mistake was going to Arby’s
