It's Wendy's, even non Americans know how the reputation of their Twitter/X account. Basically picture the Wendy mascot with a toothpick and bike chain and that's what you should expect.
If you take offence at that then you're just shallow, it's like being offended after getting roasted by South Park.
It's funny but it's also an indication that corporate accounts shouldn't be posting on X.
Wendy's is the exception to the rule though. They have been shitposting legends on twitter for years.
Wendy's social media brand is literally talking shit across the internet
Wendy's was basically the origin of corporate accounts trolling and mocking people on social. They might not have been the very first, but they were the first to go viral for doing it.
Literally everyone you see doing it now is doing so because Wendy's got hugely popular support and free marketing for doing it like a decade ago.
Yeah, pretty much my take as well. I'm not sure that's the kind of joke everyone (within reason) can laugh at. Humor is always appreciated, but even a small bit of poking fun at someone else's expense can turn ugly, and that is something an official corporate account should not be dealing with; it's bad enough seeing what happens with individuals.
Wendy's have made it part of their brand though. You can find compilations of them trolling people all over social media. If they'd just done this out of the blue it would be more of a risk, but if your company already has an established track record of being shitposters on X, people are less likely to take it seriously and get offended, unless they're the perpetually-outraged type anyway. And those people are troll-bait: the internet already hates them.
What the fuck are you talking about. Shit was funny.
But you see, that would be wrong. Would you shit in the yard of a non-confrontational neighbor who has a Killdozer MK-4 in his yard?
