New Menu Renames Iconic Items to “Healthier” Alternatives So You Can Enjoy Your Cheat Day Stress-Free

It’s January: the time for fresh starts, new goals, and the promise of healthier habits. Everyone’s on board—hitting the gym, meal prepping, saying “no” to dessert, and feeling good about it. But let’s be real for a second. By mid-January, we’re all looking for that one cheat day to give our resolutions a break. And who wants to fess up to it? No one.

That’s where Arby’s comes in.

Starting January 13 through 17, the week when most people abandon their New Year’s resolutions, Arby’s is launching its “New Year, Same You” Menu—the only menu designed to help you cheat on your goals without the judgment from your friends and family in 5 selected Arby’s located in Cleveland, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago, and Atlanta. This clever collection of menu items renames your favorite indulgent classics as “healthier” alternatives so you can tell your friends and family you’re sticking to your resolutions… when you’re really not.

Here’s the magic:

• Double Beef ‘N Cheddar → “Salad with Dressing”
• Regular Jamocha Shake → “Green Smoothie”
• Small Curly Fries → “Steamed Vegetables”

“At Arby’s, we know that keeping your resolutions are hard, especially when you have pressure from family and friends,” said Jeff Baker, Chief Marketing Officer. “This menu is just the perfect way to treat yourself while saving you the headache of having to explain to everyone. You have the rest of 2025 to hit your goals, and at Arby’s we just want you to have a fun stress-free indulgence!”

No judgment. No guilt. Just good food that makes sticking to those resolutions a whole lot easier. So, go ahead—order that “salad,” enjoy those “steamed vegetables,” and let Arby’s help you through this time of year with a side of humor and a whole lot of flavor.

This limited-time menu is available only from January 13 to 17. Because let’s face it, we all deserve a cheat day … or two.
