Frostys are the only reason I ever ate at Wendy's in my adult life. They also had the Baconator (which is basically just meat, cheese, and condiments between two buns) which I had a couple times as a teenager, but I can't think of any other reason I'd ever have chosen Wendy's over any other option.
Fries. Give me a choice of Wendys, McDonalds, or Burger King fries, and I will pick Wendys, every time.
...god, I miss when I could just eat that shit and not have a care in the world. Amazing what you enjoy when you're young, dumb, and don't know any better.
I'm with you there, and Wendys has also been the one in my life that's open all night. That's one of the few times I actually eat fast food. When you are on the road a million miles from anywhere and you roll through a town past 9pm, you take what you can get. It's not like you can even go to a grocery store.
McDonald’s fries when they are good are way better than any fries in the world
The problem is 99% of the time you just get nasty ass soggy fries instead
I used to think the spicy chicken was really good when I was a young man. But now everything from there just kinda makes me sick. Kind of like Morgan Spurlock from that shit movie, if you don't eat a lot of grease, fast food can impact you pretty negatively.
Actually, I still think it tastes pretty good, but eating it makes the body feel unpleasant compared to eating real food.
That's my perception of McDonalds. Occasionally I'll get breakfast there on the way to the airport and I always feel like I got punched in the stomach about 30 minutes later. For some reason McDonald's breakfast is the only fast food that does that to me.
Wendy's Chili is pretty good.
It's burgers approaching their use by date. Only chain burger place I've really wanted the chili is DQ (which probably does the same thing).
Their food seems higher quality than McDonald's or Burger King, but they don't really have a "hook": Jack in the Box has all day breakfast and a very diverse menu, Burger King floods my mailbox with coupons, Taco Bell is "Mexican", Dairy Queen is the ice cream place, and McDonald's has the name recognition.
Wendy's is kind of just there as an alternate burger joint. Apparently the frosty is some sort of loss leader for them, as they do the coupon books at Halloween and you can get something that gives you unlimited frosties for a year for some silly low price like $5. But honestly, I only found this out recently because I never even think of them when I think of fast food.
