Those Arby’s commercials with the stupid hats over the people’s heads who “thinking” about Arby’s-are those commercials slipstream or magic realism?

I posit that they are actually documentary. Don’t tell me you did not see people walking about town w/ Arby’s hats appearing? There is a new branch of physics called “Arby’s Space” which is where the hats go when they are not on people’s heads. That’s also the same place where the secret sauce comes from. Why the hell do you think it’s called “secret” sauce if it’s not from a secret place.

Now that I’ve made it public of where the sauce comes from it needs to be called, “the sauce formerly known as secret sauce.”

I miss Arby’s. I also miss Minnesota though I’ve never been there. Just watching a Husker Du video and those memories about stuff I never did all come back. Really strange.

Were they filmed in South America? Because then they’re definitely magic realism.
