Arby's Takes Swipe at Absent Dads, Divides Fans

Arby's took a swipe at dads online and divided fans.

Some fast-food restaurant chains get sarcastic on X. Witness Wendy's, which caused controversy when it took a swipe at Katy Perry's short trip to space, writing, "Can we send her back?" The chain refused to apologize when controversy ignited, but it did drive headlines.

Enter Arby's.

"Unlike dad, our ham & swiss actually came back," Arby's wrote on its X page on May 13, 2025, sharing a photo of its Ham and Swiss Sandwich.
