About 4 times a year, for reasons completely unknown to science, I have an all-consuming, overwhelming craving for Arby's. It's happening now. I have no idea why this happens, but discussing it with other people seems to indicate I'm not alone.

I'm pretty sure the chain's business model is completely based on this.

Oh my god... you're making me want to go there too. I was just at the Pizza Hut next to my local Arby's explaining it to my grandmother (she loves Pizza Hut, and she doesn't have it where she lives).

Do you also get the once a year White Castles crave?

Yes! And every other year I really fucking need Long John Silvers.

Arby's is awesome.

But it's never the first thing you think of when deciding on where to get lunch, is it?

I read a peer-reviewed explaining the cause of this. Apparently, it's a natural bodily reaction designed to flush out the colon.

I thought that was the purpose of a taco bell binge?

Pretty much why I go.

I don't like Arby's. Had some bad experiences there.

Sometimes it is, but there isn't one that's as close as other joints though

I could murder a Big Montana right now.

With lots of Horsey and Arbys sauce. And curly fries. And a Jamocha shake.

FUUUUCCCCKKKKKK

Arbys is a weird one. I know the food is terrible, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it. It is like having an addiction to cat hairballs.

I think it's because it's just different enough than the usual.

No shit. I was thinking earlier today how badly I wanted Arby's after going a few years without it. I don't even particularly like the place it's just those curly fries. They. Are. The. Shit.

talk about crazy though... opponauts must think alike.

Curly fries dipped in Horsey sauce is amazing.

I am confident that I did not eat Arby's in 2013.

Of course thanks to this post, I will likely eat Arby's in 2014. Thanks...

I wish we had White Castle here. I've only had it fresh once, and it was delicious. I used to eat the frozen burgers all the time

On a side note, I had an amazing idea one time.

FAST FOOD LUNCH OF THE GODS

It was a whopper from BK, McDonalds fries, mountain dew from Taco Bell, and a frosty from Wendy's.

It was horrible. Don't ever do that.

Oh, and if we're going to talk about random cravings, when is White Castle going to bring back their pulled pork sliders?

I really need my yearly case of dysentery.

As someone who grew up in a place without Jack in the Box, who before the age of twentysomething had never even seen one, and who had only ever heard of it because of that E. coli fiasco ages ago— I have the same problem you do, but with Jack in the Box fried chicken sandwiches and curly fries.

You can't explain that.

Don't get the fish sandwiches they have now. They are flavor-free. The Camry of sandwiches.

You aren't alone. I like Arby's quite a bit, but I probably only eat there once or twice a year...because sometimes...that craving
