Arby’s unveiled a new series of ads touting its freshness and inadvertantly angered a good portion of Iowa in the process. The ads took rival chain Subway to task for having its meat products sliced in Iowa and not on the back of each restaurant, like Arby’s.
The ad was uploaded to YouTube, and angry Iowans quickly stormed the comments section in defense of the state and the Mount Pleasant slicing facility, reports Media Bistro. “Iowa isn’t a Third World country!” says one. “Slamming Iowa wasn’t cool since most Iowans are farmers that help your company out. Same goes for Midwest in general,” says another.
