There was nothing particularly wonderful about that chicken, so I don't think it was the Stavros we know & love.

Huh. **re-watches** How 'bout that? My understanding of that web commercial was completely wrong. Okay, for the record, maybe that WAS our stavros. Bummer.

That's very very freaky. Thank you I think!

I'm thinking it may be a horsehead-in-the-bed warning from the AAAA that I'd better watch my anti-marketing trash talk, or I'll be sleeping with the mayonnaise.

I'm so glad you posted it ODiV! I crack up every time I see it, thinking of our stavros seeing it and being totally weirded out by it, heh.

That's a horrible commercial. I've never heard of Mr. Sub, but if I ever get the opportunity, I'm not going to eat there.

They're actually planning "The Godfather of Sausages."

This is either the second time time I see that ad and the stavros-bit mentioned here, or I'm having a very strange deja vu. When that ad campaign was submitted to my site I even told the agency contact about the stavros-bit. Sorry, they replied, but they don't know 'stavrosthewonderchicken', however they did think that it was kinda funny.

I cannot read "Global Brand Wonderchicken™!" without following up the phrase with "Activate!"
