Anyone remember the odd marking campaign that was the nail in the coffin for RAX in the late 80's or early 90's ? "Mr. D" was like your stuffy creepy uncle trying to sell you cheap bad food. Love the slogan " You can eat here" . What marketing genus thought this up ? The company went under shortly after.

Wow, I had completely forgotten about that chain.
ETA: Yeah, that's a cringe-worthy ad. Rule 1 of marketing: try not to have your product mascot remind people of John Wayne Gacy. |

I don't recall the commercial, but we had one here and I remember it as kind of an Arby's with an awesome salad bar... we liked it.
