Dude, I would fucking love to get a fucking chicken carbonara sub again. I got one a few years ago in an airport (I wanna say Denver?) It was whimsical.
Was thinking the same thing, we lost our last one like 15 years ago. Actually really liked their subs, but I’ll always think of those terrible ads with the Spongmonkeys. No idea wtf they were thinking with greenlighting those.
While I do agree it was memorable (shit, we’re talking about it literally decades later), they weren’t exactly appetizing for a restaurant ad. I don’t remember a single sandwich name from them so it didn’t give me any meaningful brand recognition. Maybe it worked at the time, but no idea.
Y’all still have Quiznos?

They haunt our dreams
Inexplicably my tiny shit hole town has one still. It’s in between a dentist office and a sex shop.

Guerilla advertising
It’s dumb but iconic/memorable
You see Spongmonkey, you think of Quiznos
They are realistically selling a sandwich, something quite generic.

Options to have your 2000s sub shop’s ad be remembered:
Turns out Quiznos chose correctly
Still one in the Denver airport so it isn’t totally gone.
