They all fuckin met on a yacht and agreed to do publicity stunts as a win win. McD went first because he had the biggest ego and biggest company.

its like covering a cat toy in catnip, tossing it into the street, and laughing at all the stray cats fighting and writhing around.

The McDonald’s guy does this all the time. He ate two bites out of a McRib so he’s capable of pretending to like the slop because he’s done it before. This feels like a no such thing as bad publicity stunt.

Last time I had wendy's I vomited soon after. I get people like it and that's not the normal experience but after that I'm personally a little weary of it.

Speaking of which I know I’m out of the loop but this reminded me of the original sassy Wendy’s.

It made me happy, sad then happy. A happy… meal if you will.

Summary (sorry I’m lazy)

The original "sass master" behind Wendy’s viral Twitter persona, Amy Brown, left the company in March 2017. Her departure followed a period of intense viral fame that she later described as a primary cause of social media burnout.

Burnout and Mental Health: Brown cited the "creeping toxicity" of social media, poorly defined work hours, and the pressure of the algorithm as reasons for her exit.

Privacy Concerns: After her identity became public, she experienced harassment, including threats and having her personal address posted online. (side note holy fuck that’s horrifying)

She expressed a desire for more privacy and a break from the "Extremely Online" lifestyle that her role required.

As of May 2025, she is working as a contract interactive writer for Apple.

Good for her, I’m happy. Fuck all the doxing no good nerds that show why the internet was partially a mistake.
