elfs | Red Robin decides cute isn't relevant (Reply)

Red Robin has these little folded boxes of advertising at every table. About the size of a coffee cup, these little cubes display nationwide specials and menu experiments. The treat of these things is that, on the bottom where all the tabs are put together by bored restaurant staff every quarter, there used to be a cute comment by the designer. "Stove tops have all the fun. Stove bottoms? Not so much." or "This is for everyone who didn't get a pony as a child: It's okay. Ponies are really hard to take care of, and they don't appreciate it as much as you'd think."

They've apparently decided to forgo the whole cleverness, and just put a "Friend us on Facebook! Follow us on Twitter! Visit our QR Code!" blurb on the box, making them as pedestrian and boring as every other restaurant out there.
