This is really creative. I wonder how effective it was. I think I would watch the ad on tivo to find how to get a free sandwich, would you?

This is a fabulously clever way to draw in viewers, rather than treat them as the bad guy for doing what is in almost every TV watchers' nature**skipping the ads.
