    Not sure if this has been covered yet....but WTF are those things in the "We Love The Subs" Quiznos' commercials? They're frightening, disgusting, even disturbing.....but they still tantalize. I find myself grossed out...not wanting to eat anything....yet I can't get that dang song out of my head!

    Here's links to the two versions of the "We Love The Subs" commercials....

    I must agree: WTF?!?!?

    Strange creatures. The commercials don't make me want to buy their product...

    .. yet they somehow grab my attention.

    They must be working, my wife a former Anti-Quiznos person has been begging to go there the past week....

    I love Quiznos, but those little guys are scary though.

    I think most people miss the point of advertising. It's not about people wanting to buy your product any more, it's about name recognition. Sure, you may not want to go out immediately and wolf down a Quizno's sub, but you'll definitely remember the name "Quizno's". Plus, that commerical will stay in your mind for a while, so the next time you're hungry, maybe you give quizno's a try.

    Heck, this thread alone is proof that the commercials are a success...

    Hey! I resemble that remark!

    I've never seen the commmercial, but I eat there about 3 times a week. I'm addicted to the Honey Bourbon Chicken.

    Needle to the vein, needle to the vein...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is it:

    It sure as hell looks like a Prosimian, but I've only seen the commercial once, so I could be wrong.

    They aren't a success unless it does translate into sales. People can remember your commercial all day long and still never go into the store. That would hardly be a successful use of resources in that case.
