1. They're called Spog Monkeys....I know, it was annoying and
fun at the same time.

2. I heard they were pulling the ads
They got a huge reaction to those ads, people were 50/50 on whether the creatures were liked or not.

As for me...........WE LOVE THE MOON!!!!!!!!!!

7. Only one ad run
http://www.azcentral.com/ent/pop/articles/0220quiznos20.html

According to this article they didn't plan the campaign to run more than a month. I'm kinda glad, the spongmonkeys would have gotten old quickly!

10. yes, Erratic
I personally like the rats (I laughed out loud) but I dislike how many ads take a good thing and beat it to death. Perhaps an occasional appearance is in order!

8. Awww, I liked them!
I'm gonna miss those freaky things. And the jingle too! And the awful singing! And the quirky lyrics!

9. They got caught in a glue trap and I stomped them to death
Well, that's what would have happened in my perfect world anyway.

12. Well now I am really freaked . . .
I thought those things were made up. I kept asking my husband and others what the heck those were, and he said something about mice dressed up.

As disgusting as I found them, by producing such disgusting looking animals in a food commercial got them the publicity they wanted.

However, if I ever see one of those things in real life, I will pass out. (yeesh)

They're digital creations; nothin' like that exists in the real world.
