Floasted (flavor + toasted)

“Floasted” (flavor + toasted) was popularized in a commercial for Quiznoz sandwich shops in September 2013. Reaction to the commercial and “floasted” became a popular subject on Twitter.

If my girl ever said mixed “Flavor” and “Roasted” to make “Floasted” like that girl in the Quizno’s commercial, I’d just leave without her.

Quiznos Raises a Toast to Bourbon
Monday, September 16th, 2013  
(...)
The new Bourbon Steak Sub features high quality black-angus steak, melted mozzarella, smoky bacon and crunchy fried onions all topped with Quiznos original bourbon sauce and served up on an Italian white baguette.
 
To usher in the limited time offer, Quiznos is launching a comical new television campaign built around the made up word and catch phrase, ‘floasted’.  The television spots, which are set to start airing mid-September, features a character who has coined the term ‘floasted’ as the ultimate descriptor for Quiznos subs – flavor plus toasted equals ‘floasted’.
 
“Quiznos is known as the pioneer of the toasted sub,” said Susan Lintonsmith, Quiznos Chief Marketing Officer.
