RANT:commercials of places not near us - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

NOPSTNS · 12-09-2007, 03:47 PM

everyone sees the sonic commercials and goes wtf. wheres the closest one? morgantown? thats bs.

for weeks ive been seein commercials for this place thats all u can eat pizza pasta and salad for 5 bucks and im like damnnow thatd be a great place to have a tst meet....

turns out, the closest one is in georgia? the place is called Cici's pizza.

why do they spend the $ advertising in a market where they have no locations? i typed in our zip to find the nearEST location....it came up nothing! most of the stores listed are nowhere near any major city, who the hell is deciding where to build these places? with my luck the day they make one ina city itll be 15 bucks for a meal and it wont be worth it...they will say theyd have to do "market adjustments" to their prices bc now its ina city where ppl make money as opposed to the sticks in georgie where 5 bucks is a lot....

this is the type of **** that lights me up. who the **** says we should advertise our food in the philly region...and not have a philly region store?!!!!!!!!!!!!

and sonic? a city as big as philly and ur closest location is bumble**** PA right next to amishland?

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE

i hear ya, i thought i seen a sonic by franklin mills, we drove around all night looking for it, looking in the yellow book and nothing, i think it was just a dream i had.

them sonic commercials make the drinks look so good, sonic is more of a roadside/southern fast food place, but i agree they would make some money if they put one in the city.

05Accent · 12-09-2007, 04:03 PM

yea im seeing alot of sonic, jack in the box commericals..

FlashFive · 12-09-2007, 04:05 PM

Yea between the sonic and cici's commercials, they really need to make some closer to us. Plus the advertising makes them sound so much better than they really are haha.

ScubaSteve · 12-09-2007, 04:09 PM

Theres a cicis in baltimore if I remember right. I know because I saw the commercial about a year ago and was so excited for a pizza buffet that I had to look it up.

lownslow95 · 12-09-2007, 04:12 PM

yeah, being in lancaster and having 2 sonics near me is a dream come true. but the cici's pizza...thats some

What you saw was Checkers.

lownslow95 · 12-09-2007, 05:29 PM

and a checkers around here would be nice to

Roadkilled75 · 12-09-2007, 06:11 PM

There is a Cici's 5 minutes from my house, outside of baltimore on Route 40 more or less at the intersection of I-695. I started seeing the commercials up here and got all excited that they must be opening one in PA...but no. Bastards.

Edit: I remember quiznos did the same thing back in the day. I saw commercials for about a year before I found one in my area.

yellow2000S/R · 12-09-2007, 06:15 PM

There is a CiCi's pizza in Indiana Pa... not far from the IUP campus... Its not listed on their site tho... kinda weird. There has to be more.

I agree about Sonic tho. It was advertised for so long before the 2 popped up here in Pa. Now I guess they are putting one in NJ or whatever.

EDIT... just found this list for PA.

thats what my conclusion was at the end of the night, but where i seen it, it wasnt on the blvd, it was next to franklin mills, and it was lit up like a casino and a big roof to drive under and order, it was definetly a dream.

btw after searchin around for an hour we went home looked it up on the computer and found the closest one was in virginia, so we got the address for checkers and settled for that bs

Uberu · 12-10-2007, 01:21 AM
