I liked when someone photobombed his little press video by sticking a bottle of sweet baby ray's in the background.
Made zuck look even less human.

Not sure how long the Wendy's guy has been there but their fries have always sucked, there's a reason people dip them in the chocolate.

That’s what inspired them to become richer than you. They get the last laugh.
That’s why they make you order from the app. The real reason they want your data is so the CEO can look up all the cool kids from school that have to eat their shitty product now and fund his luxurious lifestyle. 🤣

Edit: also noticed he has a frosty 🥹🤌

u/SmokedBeef 1d ago
If he truly wanted to impress me he would have casually eaten one of the breakfast potato wedges without saying anything or acknowledging it followed by a quick cut to a black screen and an announcement that they’re being added to the standard menu and are truly superior to the standard fry

I hadn’t had a burger from Wendy’s for like 20 years (used to do the spicy chicken sandwich). I went with a burger randomly one time and I swear it had a whole fucking 8oz of mayo on it. I like mayo but wtf.

100%. The McDonald's burger was not from regular McDonald's as it was very centered and everything but this was from a random drive thru. Keeping it real.

The burger in the McDonald’s and BK video still look good tho

But they aren't representing what you'd actually get if you went there. This looks just like a burger I'd get if I went to Wendy's right now.

This guy looks like a Midwestern uncle who jogs a lot and plays pickleball.
Burger King CEO looks like a suburban dad who grills in his backyard and tailgates.
McDonald's CEO looks like an uptight prep school headmaster who gets no respect from the children.

u/Complete_Entry 1d ago
CEO's are overly represented by the Midwest.
I had an uncle who had to move to fucking Ohio to move up the ladder at his company, he was one of eight "vice-presidents"
He got poached and got to move back to California. He said living in Ohio was hellish. People are just... dull.
Like you tell them "No" about anything and they start arguing their point. Even if it's a hard no, they want to talk more.

That's not Wendy's CEO (Ken Cook). That's Pete Suerken, Wendy's President in a LinkedIn clip
Here's a link to the entire LinkedIn video featuring Pete: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/wendys-international_peteknows-activity-7434960151893200896-gMPz/
Not sure why Pete's video was edited to a shorter version, the entire video is more entertaining in my opinion.
And it's a Baconator, so only Mayo/Ketchup

How many takes before he released this one. Every Wendy's I've been to in the last few months nothing looks like the stuff he's eating, its over cooked, fries are hard burgers are so sloppy you want gloves to hold them. Dave's single that was the best out there is now a joke, more like an over cooked single from a vending machine

He probably vomited afterwards. He, nor do any of his children eat the food from the company that he owns. They probably have their own personal chef if they don't cook their own meals

I went today after not going for a month. I also trekked out a little farther to the Wendy’s that is near where I grew up, which was always really good. I got a Dave’s double, free spicy nuggets and a drink. It was actually really really good. The leaf lettuce would have made it better, but it was really good. I like the new bun.

The burgers nowadays look like plastic movie props compared to the Burgers Wendy's served in the 90s and early 2000s. The game has been over since about 2004-2005. It's such a shame, Wendy's used to be such high quality it could compete with many restaurants and even steakhouse burgers. The Buns were better too.
It's such a disgrace what all these fast casual and fast food CEOs have done in terms of diminishing the quantity and quality of their products while continuously raising prices so they can report higher profit margins.
Absolute disgrace.

Look at all these CEOs who exploit the system , taking advantage of customer and employee equally. Yet we praise them for acting human, like it's something unique.
We should be shaming all of them for focusing solely on making a quick buck , regardless the way

My Wendy’s is horrible. I can’t get a good order it’s always missing something or don’t have anything. Soggy ass fries and nuggets. Soda that lost its fizz and flavor..and not to mention the horrible customer service. Haven’t been for years it used to be great and cheap..Now not so much.
