by Eick · July 15th, 2009 · 5 Comments

A few months back, So Good ripped Kellogg’s for their gutless decision to cut Michael Phelps as a spokesperson after he was photographed smoking from a bong (yet didn’t seem to mind his previous DUI when hiring him).  We also praised Subway and other sponsors, such as Speedo, for standing by Phelps, as well as [...]

2 Girls, 1 Sub: Quizno’s Marketing Department Disgusts and Baffles Me

by Eick · May 21st, 2009 · 37 Comments

Here [...]

Domino’s Sandwiches Better Than Subway’s?

by Eick · January 5th, 2009 · 11 Comments

That’s what Domino’s is alleging, with the release of a new commercial from Crispin, Porter & Bogusky touting that their four new oven baked sandwiches beat Subway in a taste test “two-to-one.”  The ad goes on to show humorous comparisons of just how big a “two-to-one” margin is:

Domino’s CEO David Brandon didn’t mince any words [...]

Southwest Chicken Flatbread Sandwich
