About This Item

Arby's Answer Hand TB 2005-11-11.jpg

Arby's Oven Mitt - Talking quilted oven mitt and mascot for Arby's, a Fort Lauderdale-based company with fast-food that is "Oven Fresh...Oven Good."

Called "goofy, assertive and a bit of a ham," the animated character named Oven Mitt (voiced by actor Tom Arnold) hangs around (on a wall hook) in the kitchen area of Arby's restaurants and gives motivational talks to the crew members who prepare "Market Fresh" sandwiches.

In one spot, Oven Mitt mentions that an Arby's Five Star Club sandwich being prepared smells delicious. But when one of the workers asks "How can you smell without a nose," the suddenly aware Oven Mitt runs screaming "My nose, where did it go?!" Later, we see the Oven Mitt wearing a pair of novelty glasses sporting a large nose and mustache. But then another worker asks "How can he hold the glasses up without any ears?" and panic ensues once again.

In other spots, the Oven Mitt sings Volare to Arby's Italian Beef n' Provolone sandwich or is shown being coached by his personal trainer who encourages Oven Mitt to lay on the counter and do sit-ups to build up his abs.

Launched in March, 2003, the $85 million Oven Mitt ad campaign (that touts the idea that Arby's roasts – not fries or grills – its beef) was created by WB Doner & Company from Southfield, Michigan. The ad's tagline is "What Are You Eating Today?"

Retrieve It from a Cache 1/9/2006 the girls and I retrieved it from Field Goal Virginia   Visit Log

The girls and I had seen this bug a few days ago, so we went back on a moonlight stroll through the woods to retrieve it. I'm heading to South Carolina for a visit and I'll find it a new home while I'm there.
