Quiznos, the popular fast-food sandwich chain, has incorporated a mascot in its advertising campaigns, which has become an iconic symbol of the brand. The mascot, a quirky and animated creature named "The Quizno's Sub", has been featured in various television commercials, highlighting the brand's unique and delicious sandwiches. The advertising spot featuring the Quiznos mascot aims to capture the attention of viewers and create a memorable experience. Through the use of animation and creative storytelling, the mascot brings the brand to life and showcases the quality and taste of Quiznos sandwiches. One of the main ideas conveyed in the advertising spot is the idea of freshness and customization. The mascot interacts with various ingredients, using them to build a mouth-watering sandwich that reflects the customer's preferences.
Anyway, Dzintra Sullivan dragged me back to the post apocalyptic hellscape that was high school in Arkadia – a book about a witch who’s pretty, popular, and brimming with supernatural power. Kind of like me in high school. Except for the pretty and popular part.

#BookReview The Witches of Helcombe by Harry Bradford #IARTG
Hello! I am still part of this fantastic BookFunnel Promotion so if you are a fan of literature written with a historical flair then please click the link in pink above to see if you fancy any of the titles. All the books are on special offer, I have read three of them now, recently finishing this one: The Witches of Helcombe by Harry Bradford
The Blurb: It’s November 1609 in Devon, south-west England where in a remote village, an elderly witch cures a sick child and having no daughter of her own, passes her powers to the infant.
Years later, Cromwell’s parliamentary forces pursue a pregnant Queen of England across Devon, determined to stop her escape to safety in France and to hold her for ransom. Worse still, the unborn child’s life is in danger in the womb.
Can the Queen save her child? And, in danger of cleansing by fire, will the witch agree to help?
And how will the Archbishop of Canterbury’s emissary react to the presence of witchcraft in the village when he comes to take over as Reverend at the church?
Come with me to the 17th century where witchcraft is rife in the villages and the Devil lurks around familiars and in ancient graveyards.
Harry Bradford was born in Maidstone, Kent.
He spent just over 20 years as a policeman in that County, retiring and moving to Manotick, a small town near Ottawa, Canada, some twenty-six years later.
He and his wife, Linda, two dogs and an irascible cat, finally settled yet another twenty years later, on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada, where they now live in a rambling bungalow, half way up Mount Maxwell.
A voracious but undisciplined reader, he was motivated to write this first novel, Nexus, as he simply couldn’t believe there were any more ways for people to kill or maim each other, (he hates murder/mysteries and gratuitous violence), or for the earth to suffer armageddon!
A failed retiree, he’s now working on the sequel to Nexus, (amongst a dozen other, unrelated, activities), which he hopes to have ready for publication soon.
My Review:
A powerful start to this novel, Isabel is saved by a witch who shares her powers and provides her with a mirror so that she can ask for help. The novel is written in a similar style to original fairy tales – soon I was mesmerised into the story. We then follow Isabel’s life, she marries – will her husband accept her powers? She has a child of her own – will this daughter (Mary) inherit witchcraft? Charles I is the current monarch, and his wife Henrietta needs help with her pregnancy. Isabel acts as a midwife here – but is judged as a witch – interesting because the Queen’s male physicians had been cast out. Due to that period in history – Henrietta must flee from Oliver Cromwell’s Roundheads. Extra characters are introduced here, that normalise the use of witchcraft. An enjoyable take on the English Civil War – the witches were not the enemy here.

Reviews for "From Mascot to Memes: The Internet's Love Affair with the Quiznos Mascot"
- Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Quiznos mascot advertising spot. The whole concept just seemed so bizarre and off-putting. I don't understand why they would choose a strange-looking, singing mascot to represent their brand. It didn't make me want to try their sandwiches at all. In fact, it made me want to avoid Quiznos altogether. I think they should go back to the drawing board and come up with a more appealing advertising campaign.
- Mark - 2 out of 5 stars - The Quiznos mascot advertising spot was just plain weird. I didn't find the singing, talking animals at all entertaining or appetizing. It felt like a desperate attempt to grab attention and stand out, but it missed the mark for me. I think Quiznos would have been better off focusing on showcasing their delicious sandwiches and fresh ingredients instead of relying on a strange mascot. Overall, I wasn't impressed and it didn't make me want to give Quiznos a try.
- Jessica - 1 out of 5 stars - I couldn't stand the Quiznos mascot advertising spot. The whole thing was so annoying and cringe-worthy. The talking, singing animals felt forced and unnatural. It was just a big turn-off for me. I don't understand how this kind of advertising is supposed to make people want to eat at Quiznos. It made me want to change the channel or fast forward through it. I hope Quiznos reconsiders their marketing strategy because this one was a major fail in my book.
