Wendy's Got Cheeseburgers And Wii Toys

    I have no more Wendy's. The guy who owned all of the stores in town filed for bankruptcy, so they all shut down. I heard the Wendy's home office wants to take them over, but they can't due to the sale of the stores being held up in court. Not that Wendy's was a favorite fast food place of mine, but when you can't have something you want it. So, yesterday we were on a road trip. I was three hours from home. We decide to go to Wendy's to see if it was worth missing. (And to get a Wii toy) But that Wendy's was closed! The universe doesn't want me to have a Wii toy! I'm sure I would go meh if I finally got some Wendy's though. We went to Burger King instead and I wound up with a cute little Spiderman who can stick on your fridge.

    That's alright. Only half of those toys are good. I wouldn't mind Mario or that truck. I remember a Wendy's Mario happy meal a few years back that had the same ratio of suck and awesome. I wound up with a Mario action figure and a Mario Kart. Very nice toys! There was a Mario Parachute too.

    Where's the Wii toy that you throw at your TV?

    EDIT: And is it just me, or does Dave in that Picture look like Hannibal Lector?

    So much more inviting than a clown.

    Dave Thomas ain't got shit on the King, however.

    This is the only man you should trust with your fast food.

    When I can walk in, order, and leave Wendy's in less than three minutes, you know the definition of fast food. Wendy's is awesome. So are any video-game related toys.

    Anyone else think that it's weird to have toys for game console, though?

    Wendy's is awesome because I can order a chili and a potato, and be full for 2 bucks and some change. Maybe throw in a salad if i'm needing some greens.

    Wendy's is not the best. I rarely ever eat a fast food burger, so the chicken is usually what it comes down too.

    And damn, does BK make a good chicken sandwich, I don't care what might be in it. That shit is scrumptious.

    Wendy's always had the lamest toys too. McDonalds had the good toys. Those food items that transformed into dinosaurs were freakin sweet.

    If I think that I'd actually be more likely to eat at KFC if they used that as their corporate logo and such, does that make me a bad person?

    Wendy's is all about the goddamn Spicy Chicken.

    I loved the Four Alarm while they did it, too.

    You just blew my mind. Reminds me of the one time I got 7 nuggets. Not 5, or even 6, mind you. SEVEN.

    Wendy's nuggets are the best fast food money can buy.

    We might not agree on much.
    But this?
    This is fucking fact.

    No, that would be Chik Fil A, but Wendy's are cheaper, so they get points.

    I do love me some Wendy's. Jr. Bacon Cheesebuger for 99c. Deliciously cheap.

    I think the key is that 99 cents = win.

    Also, would the Wendy's employees think it strange for a 25 year old man with no kids to order a kids meal? Would it make it better or worse to explain to them that I'm only doing it for the Wii toy?

    Come on man, 99 cents. Plus, who can hate Dave Thomas?

    I have a photo of myself and some friends with Dave Thomas around here somewhere. He came to town about 6 months before he died and visited the local Wendy's. So we ambushed him. I'll find the pic somewhere; it's hilarity.

    What, no Trauma Center toys? Wasted potential. It could be like a portable Operation.

    Also, thread needs more spicy chicken.

    Need to get some of these after work tomorrow.

    Maybe on the way to.

    I've no shame in getting the kids' meal or toys. For all they know, I'm getting it for my kids (of which I have none, but that's NOTDB).

    Even then, with geek toy collecting more prominent now than ever, I imagine they're somewhat used to it.

    As regards Chick-fil-a, theirs is definitely better, at least their basic vs. Wendy's.

    But, Wendy's has Spicy Chicken, better fries, and cheaper pricing. CFA is almost upper-class fast food, only not.

    I've been sad since moving to Canada, though. Nearly two bucks for a five-piece of chicken nuggets.
