You got me here. So what if it was mummified, but now it’s alive and wants to rot? Technically it’s possible. Now we have here scenario for the next ‘The Mummy’ film.
NEVER!
You may take my biscuits but you will never take my caffiene.

The recession is indeed crazy, and may need to be sectioned to prevent it from doing harm to itself….or we could just feed it a regular roast beef combo laced with ritalin.
Pfft. Most people these days don’t know what Yorkshire pudding is (I didn’t say ALL, just most) and a lot of them think that it comes out of a package from Club House. Sad and alarming.
Alas, as my parents grow older and big meals become less frequent (they’re working their way to elderly “tea and toast” three times a day), I don’t see Yorkshire puddings much unless I make ‘em myself. I <3 anyone else who makes 'em, including k@.
A physicist, a biologist and a mathematician are sitting in a street café watching people entering and leaving the house on the other side of the street. First they see two people entering the house. Time passes. After a while they notice three people leaving the house. The physicist says, “The measurement wasn’t accurate.” The biologist says, “They must have reproduced.” The mathematician says, “If one more person enters the house then it will be empty.”
I’m pretty sure it’s a joke. They’re doing $5.01 combo deals right now to compete with the popular $5 meals at other restaurants. They have commercials that talk about what the extra cent is for, too.
Shoot. Next to last comment stole mine. You’re absolutely right. These value meals have been advertised for quite a while at $5 (“if I can get all that for $5, I’ll marry a goat”), but recently they started the $5.01 campaign. Since their food sucks ass (except for the chicken cordon bleu), I don’t go there so I don’t know if they actually charge $5 or $5.01.
Yeah. I actually saw this coupon the last time I was there. There’s one for each of their 5.01 combos, and they put them on the sheets they put on the service trays. I think it would be hilarious to see somebody actually use one of these coupons.
Which is still lame when you consider their ‘promotion’ is really making the meal more expensive. It used to be you could get these meals for 3.99. They’ve now jumped to 4.99, and with this ‘promotion’ it’s up to 5.01.
….Arby’s, though I adore them, has backward thinking.
As much as people complain, I will always dig on the Arby’s. I love their curly fries and their jalapeno poppers are as decent as one can expect from fast food.
Despite how it looks in the picture, their meat is better quality than what you get at most fast-food places. I mean, it’s actually sliced beef, not some beef-esque mash-up. And for those complaining that the beef is gray, you’ve clearly never cooked a piece of beef well-done.
OMG I work at an Arby’s and when we first got these I had to ask my manager if it was a joke and they said it wasn’t… we’ve had these “coupons” out for atleast a month now and no one has even attempted to use one, I’m pretty sure everyone thinks it’s a joke…
Tell that to Rockerfeller. Everytime I pick up a penny all kinds of magic happens. It’s karmic. I got to see several cities in Virginia and got free hotel accomodation and food for three weeks worth of November, and free education in the water restoration business, all as a result of picking up a penny.
What do you know. Your kid saw penny coupon and deep inside was like omg penny coupon o the wonders of the universe are at my fingertips. Of course you would be insulted by something as miraculous as penny coupon, you bring your kids to Arby’s that’s what you get.
lolzrbbq photoshop is so hilarious! you can make a normal coupon look like one that would never have even made it past the marketing research and development stage, much less put into production! phailshop is so cool!
actually you fail miserable. You should have read the comments first, multiple people have stated they WENT there and saw the SAME coupon, as did I. AND people have explained the reasoning for it.
exactly, that’s what i says. you pick a penny off the ground, same principle. you see a penny coupon, how rare is that. penny coupon says great enlightenment, open new avenues of the mind. what is penny coupon doing in failblog? i guess that’s why it is failblog, huh. yeah.
There are two kinds of people in this world, coupon people and non-couple people.
To a non-coupon person, this coupon has essentially negative value, unless you count the humour involved in using a coupon for 1 cent.
To a coupon person, this coupon is like a passport enabling them to eat a regular roast beef combo. If they don’t have a coupon, they’re just not going to eat there. In that sense, it doesn’t matter if the coupon is one cent or one dollar. They gotta have the coupon. The mental strain of selecting fast food without a coupon would be too much for them.
Reminds me of when my previous gas company tried to get me to start paying again by saying they were a third of a penny anually cheaper than my current one.
Try working for Arby’s and seeing these things the day you unbox them, and wanting to cry. I understand Sales and Marketing wanting to do their thing, but theyre called S&M,,,, and a rose by any other name…
The best thing is it doesn’t expire until next October. Stock up on coupons and save all year! With all the pennies you’ll be saving, by next October you’ll be able to afford something off the dollar menu at a much better fast food joint.
This just made my day! I work at arbys and we have these as trayliners. We dont even have a button to give that discount, but if someone tried to use that coupon I would definitely give them a few dollars off because nobody has actually tried
I work at Arby’s too. And it is quite obvious that whomever designed those tray liners were trying to be humorous and “witty”, but they failed at that. I’ve never had someone try to use it before. But I have had old annoying people and those living on welfare checks yell at me because it is stupid. So thank you Arby’s for that.
*Puts forward her 0.02cents*
nearly free now.
Still overpriced for grey meat, though. Gak.
Thankfully being a veggie I may forego the manky!
Me too! *veggie solidarity hug*
After seeing that sammich, I might turn vege.
Veggies Untie

Granny goes out the hole around the tree and back in the hole again
I call this one the full nelson
Horatio?
I don’t know about hers, but his ratio seems to be 3 to 1.
I like the odds.
Stats good.
3 to 1 its granny by a nose
I’m a VAGitarian.
lol hello
yuck*
Oh hell, is that thing moving?
his names was Sparky, a little respect for the dead please
Show some respect for the dead Granny style. Roger!
Once Granny has respected that sandwich, you might need extra napkins.
Lashings of mayo please, Granny.
plenty to go round *lashes* it hurts so good
I’m sorry, I haven’t slept, and I have worked 13 days in a row……..feed me caffiene.
mmmm beef curtains
….and potato products!
If you’ll bring the potato, we can hang the curtains, then after make an Irish stew.
and then I’ll whip out my rusty trombone and bang out a few tunes, it’ll be great!
Now, if we just had some custard and jam, we could have dessert…
now where would we find such a thing? mmmmm?
*reports for trifling duty*
Now we’re jamming.
*drenches everything in mayo*
are you sure he’s dead? For me he’s about to start a new life and develop a leg or three.
Are you sure?
I thought anything that grey was at least mummified.
You got me here. So what if it was mummified, but now it’s alive and wants to rot? Technically it’s possible. Now we have here scenario for the next ‘The Mummy’ film.
What if it wants to take over the world?
Just so long as it doesn’t puke flies.
I don’t expect Sparky to puke flies, at last not in the form as shown above. But their larvas, yes.
I think I should cut down on coffe this morning.
NEVER!
You may take my biscuits but you will never take my caffiene.
*paints self blue*
*screams warcries*
*runs off hitting things with kids plastic sword*
ah just look at the cute baby flies….
do you mean maggots?
well… yes. Is there a difference? English in not my first language, sorry
aww… can I cuddle them?
they’re so cute!
..and fluffy?
he can cuddle them too
ok… easy… easy… we don’t want to harm you.
Look, there is a nice jacket for you. This two guys in white will help you put it on.
*chews the men in white*
1 cent? Great! Now I can afford that car I always wanted, thank you Arbus!
Its Arbys.
lol. grey looking cold beef and curly fries that just get thrown on the table.
*folds grey material into seeded bun*
There, that looks slightly more appetising.
for one cent less you can have the (beef)
The recession is indeed crazy, and may need to be sectioned to prevent it from doing harm to itself….or we could just feed it a regular roast beef combo laced with ritalin.
I would suggest prozac but it creates havoc with the sex drive
Ok how about Citalopram to reduce panic attacks?
or ex-lax and sleeping pills
not a fail, just a cheapo giving out coupon
Oh dear, is that what a roast beef dinner has become these days? Where’s the Yorkshire Pudding and gravy?
At my house!
*hangs around*
*limps around (in search of brains)*
move along, none around here
But if you’re a veggie, how is you’re making Yorkshire puddings? OK, they themselves are veggie but you can’t eat them without gravy.
The Yorkshire pudding is in Yorkshire… silly! :p
Pfft. Most people these days don’t know what Yorkshire pudding is (I didn’t say ALL, just most) and a lot of them think that it comes out of a package from Club House. Sad and alarming.

What about a leash?

granny’s “horsey sauce” is a bit salty today…….
I got a bit excited when I saw the deal
*gallops off into the sunset*
You were chomping at the bit for a while?
1 cent brains too?
That doesn’t make any “cents”.
I sense some pence up frustration.
Euro-nly thinking about the small-term effects.
that’s nothing I’ll give you two scents off my meat roll for free!
*sniff sniff*
mmmm… salty!
ok maybe not completely free
*tackle grope squeeze*
*stop, drop and roll squeezes*
Save, save, a penny saved is a penny earned!
*spends a penny*
*golden squeeze!*
*copper squeeze plus zinc squeeze* granny
You’re meant to take the p!ss.
Ohhhh why me?
If I give you one cent, and you give me 2 cents, then who has 3 cents?

Okay, enough advertising for Arby’s for one day.
We don’t have Arbus in the UK, damn… I’ve really missed out on a bargain.
If it were in Aberdeen they’d be snipping those coupons like crazy.. ‘A penny’s a penny, Hamish!’
For the first time in failure history i’m offended by this because Arby’s happens to be my fave place to eat. Oh well,.
I bet the value of the paper is higher than 1 cent.
This “beef” doesnt look like someone would want it anyways
What a good deal.
its b/c that combo costs $5.01 so it only five like all the other fast food combos. not as stupid as it seems
Not a fail. I’ve seen these – it’s an advertising gimmick – their new sandwich meals are $5.01, so you get one cent off and make it an even dollar.
And you KNOW someone is going to argue with the cashier about if it’s still valid.
Not a fail. It’s SUPPOSED to be funny and lame. They have an entire ad campaign built around the extra cent in their $5.01 combos.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
*slaps you*
OMG I work at an Arby’s and when we first got these I had to ask my manager if it was a joke and they said it wasn’t… we’ve had these “coupons” out for atleast a month now and no one has even attempted to use one, I’m pretty sure everyone thinks it’s a joke…
Not Fail – was a promotional gimmick Arby’s was using.
This coupon is mainly to appeal to Jews.
Wtf, I never had access to the internet when I was a mental patient.
well the meal combo DOES cost $5.01 and so now ur only paying $5
yeah, I don’t think this is a fail at all, it’s just part of their promotion for their new combo deal.
It’s called marketing, and apparently it worked, or at least drew the attention to end up on a massively viewed page.
haha I went to arby’s the other day and was like… wtf is this?
1-cent off is certainly too small to call it a saving.
Tell that to Rockerfeller. Everytime I pick up a penny all kinds of magic happens. It’s karmic. I got to see several cities in Virginia and got free hotel accomodation and food for three weeks worth of November, and free education in the water restoration business, all as a result of picking up a penny.
I was at Arby’s Saturday with my kids. This same coupon is on a sheet that they put on your food tray.
I thought it was rather insulting! lol
Now I know it was really a FAIL
What do you know. Your kid saw penny coupon and deep inside was like omg penny coupon o the wonders of the universe are at my fingertips. Of course you would be insulted by something as miraculous as penny coupon, you bring your kids to Arby’s that’s what you get.
lolzrbbq photoshop is so hilarious! you can make a normal coupon look like one that would never have even made it past the marketing research and development stage, much less put into production! phailshop is so cool!
actually you fail miserable. You should have read the comments first, multiple people have stated they WENT there and saw the SAME coupon, as did I. AND people have explained the reasoning for it.
Good Job.
That helps make those 5.01 combos an even 5 bucks! But those poor people who that .01 went to!
i dont get it, whats the fail????
ur the fail…..
exactly, that’s what i says. you pick a penny off the ground, same principle. you see a penny coupon, how rare is that. penny coupon says great enlightenment, open new avenues of the mind. what is penny coupon doing in failblog? i guess that’s why it is failblog, huh. yeah.

In that sense, it doesn’t matter if the coupon is one cent or one dollar. They gotta have the coupon. The mental strain of selecting fast food without a coupon would be too much for them.
Damn, I left my coupon at home. I’ll be right back. It’s only about 5 miles away.
Reminds me of when my previous gas company tried to get me to start paying again by saying they were a third of a penny anually cheaper than my current one.

This would go so well with the peter russel’s joke
This is a $hitty fail, srsly.
cheeapskates
lol. that would go good with a unicorn.
This is real. I went there and they gave me like two sheets of coupons that said the same thing.
This just made my day! I work at arbys and we have these as trayliners. We dont even have a button to give that discount, but if someone tried to use that coupon I would definitely give them a few dollars off because nobody has actually tried
