Arby's today announced the completion of its nationwide conversion to Coca-Cola beverages, a news release said, though the proverbial "cat" already got out of the bag last week when news media discovered the chain shooting a promo for the Coke launch in a Nebraska field.
Arby's drink fountains now offer Coca-Cola, Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, Sprite, Minute Maid Light, Mello Yello, Barq's Root Beer, Hi-C Flashin' Fruit Punch, Fanta Orange and Powerade Mountain Berry Blast. For a limited time, the chain is also offering a Coke Float to celebrate the new partnership.
Arby's and Coca-Cola shared the news with a Guinness World Record feat recorded last week of creating the world's largest ad, announcing that, "Arby's Now Has Coke" across a five-acre banner in tiny Monowi, Nebraska, population: one.
That one resident, Elsie Eiler, also happens to be the town's mayor, bartender and librarian and said she's been an Arby's and Coca-Cola all her life, though there's no Arby's in Monowi.
