A few years ago I learned that Arby's is called Arby's (pronounced RB's) because they make roast beef (RB) sandwiches

I can't think of one of my own, but I remember driving on a road trip with a friend in college and mentioned that we were 10 miles from our exit. He asked how I knew that without looking at the GPS. I told him we just passed mile 85 or something and the exit was Exit 95. He had no idea the exits were just the mile marker on the road. He thought they were just randomly numbered.

Haven't been to Arby's since they got rid of the Arby-Cue Sandwich. (Play on BBQ...)

I thought it was great with great marketing...
