https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZGhGFg-VlI   Wendy's was founded by U.S. Army cook Dave Thomas in 1969 in Columbus, Ohio who named the chain after his daughter. Thomas was known for being its main pitchman for years along with -- in the 1980s -- the octogenerian Chicago manicurist Clara Peller who said where's the motherfuckin' beef Also they have square hamburgers. I like the spicy chicken sandwiches. They have these Wendy's brand sugary soft drinks that are pretty good too. Don't know about much else because I always get the spicy chick Wendy's also successfully destroyed the twee indie pop band Violet Femmes by including the song "Blister in the Sun" in a 2007 fish sandwich ad, which apparently set off so much internal conflict within the band about whether they had sold out that they broke up for a few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhSN413CtJ0 Like a lot of fast food chains, millennial marketing executives have taken over and redesigned everything so it looks kinda like Chipotle now and there's always twee indie music playing whenever I go in

Wendy's mayo is good. Then they always put too much ketchup on your burger.

Wendy’s is the best national fast food chain in terms of it basically being pretty good wherever you go

HugeGrossBurrito posted:Wendy’s is the best national fast food chain in terms of it basically being pretty good wherever you go Pretty much yeah. I do feel like there's been a decline in the actual burger quality at Wendy's compared to WAY BACK WHEN  though. Like they're less "juicy seared beef" and more just sort of... "moist"?I dunno. Fries, frosties, and spicy chicken sandwich/nugs/etc. make up for a lot though.

Spicy chicken sandwich is top tier stuff. I order it plain though cause eww wilty crap and mayo. chicken nugs are good in a very spongey homogeneous way frosties are great duh I also ENJOY their fries most people don't I don't understand why. skin-on fries are great, like sorry if they remind you too much of a potato guys

We have the most amazing Wendy's here in town. Once you pay there is never a wait for your food. Often they will be leaning out of the window with bag in hand. It's easily the best run fast food place I've ever been to.

I ordered a frosty the other day but messed up and got vanilla instead of chocolate and I regret the mistake but also the vanilla one isn't too bad but it's definitely no chocolate.

The spicy chicken sammitch I got at the Wendy's in the business park in Yokahama, Japan in 1999 was spicier than the ones I was getting in the USA at the time. That's my Wendy's anecdote.

Has anyone else here tried one of Dave's Sodas? I got the cherry cream soda on a whim with my $4 for 4 last night. It was good even if it tasted kind of watered-down, though that may have just been the Freestyle machine's fault. Don't know if I'd get it again, but the orange cream soda they also have might tempt me next time I swing by.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaQ8U0ieiQY i play the dave thomas game with friends sometimes Wendys was always the place where I had nostalgic memories of being a kid of the 90s, watching a batman cartoon, reading a spiderman comic, and getting a kids meal with one of those awful 3D comics (it got better) and somehow that was always my "go-to" place when having big sad slumps, mostly because frosties (they should have never gotten rid of the cones in later years) I can't wait to see the breakfast offerings for the company, but I am also somewhat annoyed i never got the chance to enjoy the croissant chicken sandwich they had
