Wendy's must have gotten together for a corporate mission meeting and decided, "National obesity epidemic? We have got our business plan!" They decided that the triple cheeseburger wasn't good enough...they could do better, and they have. The soon-to-come heart attack on a bun, or "The Baconater," provides not only your daily value of two patties with cheese, but six, count 'em, 6, strips of bacon. This is what the website has to say:Baconator
Six strips of hickory smoked bacon piled high atop two 1/4 lb. patties of fresh, never frozen, beef. Complete with two slices of American cheese, mayo and ketchup for a mountain of mouth-watering taste. Go on, obsess a little.
There are NO vegetables on that, not even a piece of iceberg lettuce or a god damn pickle. Unless you count the ketchup I guess. But does it really need MAYO?? For real.
But that wasn't even the craziest thing I saw. For one, the Ultimate Chicken Grill meal had a little icon next to it that said, "Now tastier!" ...What the hell does that mean??
And on my cup, I read this phrase, next to a little sun icon: "Today's salads didn't exist yesterday" .....?
I think the only answer here is that people in the product development wing of Wendy's corporate are smoking a lot of weed.

Haha, I agree that the slogan "Today's salads didn't exist yesterday," is completely ridiculous. I was pondering over this phrase, considering re-trying one of Wendy's shriveled salads, and it occurred to me that although Wendy's is claiming to have a "new" salad, what improvements could there possibly be? Fresher produce? I doubt it. More efficient method of shipping genetically engineered food? Probably.
