Arby’s is getting political to promote its homestyle and curly fries. Given that it’s been a year heavy on elections, federal and provincial, Arby’s figured Canadians could use one more. So, it’s presenting them with the french-fried showdown of the century: curly vs. homestyle. Developed by Blammo Worldwide in Toronto, the effort includes a series of election-style vids in support of both types of french fry. One for each “party” is included above. Chock full of trash talk, just like many of the campaign ads Canadians have seen this year, the vids leave Canadians with a choice: do they support the Curly Coalition, or the Homestyle Alliance? Here’s a hint. One of them doesn’t like puppies.
