I don't know if the campaign flopped or not, but there was a time Quiznos decided to associate their subs with gross singing rodents.

Like mmm I sure could go for toasted subs and some roadkill right about now.

Quizno's also had this commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LQpRQh2KSQ about a sexually suggestive toaster oven that totally wants long, hot sandwiches up its butt. Makes me laugh real hard but probably wasn't a great marketing move.

NPR this morning played this, talking about how binge watchers of shows don't click through ads as much. Some dubious explanations get made that it's because people get wrapped up in fantasy land and don't want to come out of it to click an ad. For me, I binge watch when I'm doing something else, so I can't click dummies. Then again, I don't click anything ever anyway.

If you listen to Morning Edition often you'll know that anything Shankar Vedantam reports on is going to be the equivalent of a Buzzfeed science article. Its basically "generic scientist people found this interesting correlation" with very little information about the test and a whole lot of conjecture on what it means.
