For only $25 total (which Arby’s humorously notes is “less than cost of 26 Arby’s sliders”), fans of the brand can pick up 6 MONTHS of swag from a new “Arby’s of the Month” subscription box. According to the press release, each of the 6 boxes will be “filled with sandwich and meat-inspired lifestyle gear.” The first box will include “a vintage Arby’s Sled Tray, Bacon Scarf, Arby’s Holiday Beanie as well as a set of temporary Arby’s tattoos designed by Long Beach artist Miguel “Uzi” Montgomery of Port City Tattoo.” Though the subscriptions unfortunately sold out almost immediately, Arby’s offers a place to sign up for future stock HERE. Here’s that tattoo artist in action, working on permanent Arby’s tattoos for superfans:

Snackbots are heading to a campus near you! And frankly we’re jealous
We’re just going to leave this right here… With the inevitable comment that college is certainly different than it used to be.
University of the Pacific students are now able to order snacks to be delivered to them. By a “snackbot.” Which is a robot snack machine. Because, why not?
According to a press release, “The bots are ready to roll with a range of more than 20 miles on a single charge, and are equipped with camera and headlights that allow it to see and navigate carefully in full darkness or rain, as well as all-wheel drive capabilities for handling curbs and steep hills.”
Welcome to 2019!
Chipotle offers diet meals for your New Year’s resolutions
Chipotle wants to support your 2019 New Year’s resolutions, with meals fitting different diets. Available exclusively available through the Chipotle mobile app and on the Chipotle website for in-restaurant pickup or delivery, the fast casual restaurant is offering meals fitting the Paleo, Keto, Whole30, and High Protein diets. “We’ve watched guests custom create lifestyle-specific bowls when ordering in our restaurants,” said Chris Brandt, chief marketing officer at Chipotle, “so it made sense to offer delicious options via our online channels that help people easily order bowls with real ingredients that fit their wellness goals.” Whole30® co-founder Melissa Hartwig Urban is also excited that Chipotle has included that lifestyle in its offerings. “We are always looking for ways to make the Whole30 easier and more accessible, and travel has always been a pain point,” she said. “It’s not always easy to find compliant options on the road, so I was thrilled to work with Chipotle to create a tasty, satisfying salad bowl that meets our program guidelines.”
Here are the ingredients in the new bowls:
Whole30® Salad Bowl – Romaine lettuce, carnitas, fajita veggies, tomato salsa and guacamole
Paleo Salad Bowl – Romaine lettuce, barbacoa, fajita veggies, green salsa and guacamole
Keto Salad Bowl – Romaine lettuce, carnitas, red salsa, cheese and guacamole
Double Protein Bowl – White rice, black beans, chicken (full portion), steak (full portion), red salsa, romaine lettuce and sour cream

PEEPS® candy brand, Bethlehem drops a giant illuminated PEEPS® Chick each year to spread cheer and encourage family-friendly celebrations,” according to a press release. “Weighing in at 400 pounds and standing tall at four feet and nine inches, the PEEPS® Chick will descend for the countdown to the New Year on Dec. 31 at 5:15 p.m.” Families can also attend the Chick Rising Ceremony on December 30th to see fireworks without the usual crowds. Stay weird, Pennsylvania.
