Thanks Wendy's.

This is why people think they need gastric bypass surgery. Instead we need drive-thru bypass mentality. Nobody would suffer if they never went to Wendy's drive-thru ever again!
ReplyDeleteWhen heard about this burger on the radio the other day I couldn't believe it! WTF is Wendy's thinking? Isn't the obesity problem bad enough in America already? I think we need to go after fast(fat)food like we've gone after the tobacco companies. All of that crap they sell at these places poisons your body kind of like cigarettes but in some cases it could be considered worse.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and the name sounds really stupid too. Come on, the Baconator??
ReplyDeleteMy family is dismayed that the Canandian Football League allows Wendy's to advertise its worst health, food choice as the CFL's Official Burger. We sarcastically call this burger "The Defibrillator". In 2006, Wendy's Triple Burger was the official burger of the CFL. Doc, what can be done to stop this?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Bill - I had no idea the CFL even had an official burger.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of what to do - I like making noise.
I'd suggest writing a letter to the CFL's commissioner and cc it to a few newspaper editorial or opinion sections.
Given the day and age we leave in who knows, maybe one of the papers will pick it up.
Good luck,
Yoni
