Dear Arby’s:

I’ve seen one of your recent commercials about three-dozen times now -- you know, the one with the guy who’s on a game show and gives a food-related answer to questions that have nothing to do with food. Hilarious! But there’s something I don’t understand. When the commercial starts, somehow the food-answer guy has made $100, presumably by answering one or more questions correctly prior to the beginning of the commercial. How did he do that? Did he just happen to come across a question with a food answer? Did his obsession with food begin only after we see him in the commercial? And if that’s the case, what was it that started this fixation at that moment? This has been confusing me for the past few days, and I’d appreciate a clarification. Thanks.

Sincerely,



Matthew Prins
