Vincent you ever had Wendy's fans who
crave the fast food chains signature
square burgers golden fries and creamy
Frosty's will love discovering more
about this classic American burger chain
so let's look under the bun at the
top-10 untold truths of Wendy's part - I
hear they got some tasty burgers I ended
up having one myself hot Dave Thomas and
Colonel Sanders were buddies great I
love KFC some fast food junkies don't
realize that Dave Thomas and Colonel
Sanders had a long relationship when
dave was getting his career going he
worked for Colonel Sanders at some
Indiana base Kentucky Fried Chicken
restaurants when I'm finished with
college be Carl Sanders in the early 60s
dave was given the chance to relocate to
Ohio to try and improve business at some
less than successful Kentucky Fried
Chicken locations if Dave Thomas boosted
business he'd get a big reward mr.
bucket actually which was 45% ownership
of earnings for those locations to get a
big share of the profits Dave put a lot
of major changes into effect for example
he streamlined the menu and improved the
branding by ordering chicken bucket
signs that drew customers in the
restaurants flourished when he got his
45% he sold it back to the colonel for a
million and a half bucks this cash was
the startup capital for Wendy's this
Wendy's KFC connection is super
interesting sadly Dave passed away in
2002 at the age of 69 after a battle
with cancer
not crying you're crying the colonel
passed away in 1980 and rests in
Louisville Kentucky's Cave Hill Cemetery
the jr. burgers got smaller I'm tired of
eating all this junk at night you got a
better right there in 2007
Wendy's jr. burgers got a little more
jr. the burgers did shrink a little bit
but most people probably didn't notice
the change was made in order to ensure
that the fast-food chain could make a
good profit on the burgers the patties
were downsized just a bit because ground
beef is the most expensive ingredient in
a typical fast-food burger
a few eagle-eyed fast-food fans did
notice the difference and some of them
posted about it online they weren't
really happy about getting less for
their money but they weren't irate
either Wendy's has a lot of loyal fans
who are more than willing to roll with
the changes the fast-food world is
competitive and chains like Wendy's do
need to adjust their menu items
sometimes in order to compete it's about
staying profitable through economic ups
and downs with so many burger chains
fighting for business
it's no surprise that Wendy's changes it
up when changes are needed most
restaurants and food manufacturing
companies don't exactly shout out
information about shrinking the size of
products from the hilltops you want a
juice box and some string cheese free
meals may be available Joey doesn't
share food at Wendy's customers who
complain politely will possibly get free
burgers in return this has really
happened the company does want its
customers to feel valued it's not 100
percent certain that every complaint
will lead to free food
32 and you're flipping burgers but it's
possible that reasonable complaining
will result in free food people
definitely shouldn't complain when
there's nothing to complain about
fast-food workers have enough to deal
with during their shifts without
handling bogus complaints from customers
with ulterior motives see that wasn't so
hard they work very hard without the
tips that some service workers get but
sometimes customers do have legit
complaints and Wendy's staff members
will do the best that they can to
neutralize the impact of bad customer
experiences there is an urban legend out
there about another way to get free food
at Wendy's as the legend goes you'll
need to let a clerk know that you have
no money and you're hungry this rumor
has been around for ages but this urban
legend has been debunked and I say yes
letting Wendy staff know that you're
broke won't lead to a free meal you may
get a sympathetic glance though may I
get you all the Baconator
the Wendy's brand is being modernized
burgers at Wendy's month Wendy's has
that classic all-american image down pat
it's a wholesome image that has made the
fast-food chain a success all over the
world while the Wendy's brand definitely
stands out the company has taken steps
to modernize the brand to keep it strong
and relevant in the future now I know I
can do better than basic modernizing a
beloved brand is complicated it needs to
be done with finesse or a loyal
customers may be alienated to do it
right requires a lot of knowledge and
skill ultimately it's about
understanding the brand and its
customers as well as the ways that
society is changing the focus is still
on quality which was what Dave Thomas
believed in get people a hamburger fixed
away they wanted quality is always
Priority One but some tweaks to the
brand's marketing including the tone of
ads and social media posts have given
the brand a fresher image the
modernization process began several
years ago when free Wi-Fi became yet
another perk of being a Wendy's customer
Wow and fourth you deserve windy there's
a downside to spicy chicken nuggets did
you pick my busy you gotta click on a
ticket you got to go get the gift before
it's gone we're not saying that these
spicy Nuggets aren't fun to eat they are
tasty also they're popular they were
taken off the menu in the past which
sparked complaints so Wendy's brought
them back
the issue is according to a Wendy's team
member who posted anonymously online
these nuggets with a spicy kick aren't
always as fresh as other Wendy's menu
items while they're popular they don't
get ordered as often as some other
products so they may sit around for a
while before they end up in your order
you may consider this a bit of a
downside but don't worry too much
because other Wendy staffers who have
posted anonymously have let people know
that they can request freshly made food
when they order it may take a bit longer
to get the food but Wendy's will make
fresh stuff for you if you specifically
request it Wendy's food tends to sit for
no more than an hour
but I would loop in which means that
food from this fast-food chain is still
very fresh but some Anonymous staffers
report that certain location managers
let food sit around for longer such as
up to three hours these online
confessions aren't verifiable and may or
may not be true 25,000 spicy knows
that's a lot of spicy nuts Dave Thomas
was an adoption advocate this is a
Wendy's restaurant adoption is a
beautiful thing Dave Thomas knows this
because he was adopted Dave was born on
the 2nd of July 1932 his birthplace was
Atlanta City New Jersey his birth mother
was a young woman who wasn't married
when Dave was 6 weeks of age he was
adopted Oliva and Rex Thomas welcomed
the baby boy into their lives and had no
way of knowing what a huge success he
would make of his life when dave was an
adult he created the Dave Thomas
foundation for adoption he advocated for
adoption sadly his adoptive mom passed
away when he was only 5 years of age oh
I'm sorry could you put her on please
after that tragic event Dave's father
would move around the USA seeking out
employment young Dave was a go-getter
who got his first job when he was only
12 years old of course the job was at a
restaurant unafraid of hard work driven
and blessed with vision Dave Thomas was
destined to reach the pinnacle of his
chosen field with his foundation for
adoption he
back this nonprofit organization lives
on after his passing it helps kids who
are in foster care to find their forever
families this nonprofit does amazing
things and it's a powerful part of the
Dave Thomas legacy that way everyone
gets something they love for the
holidays black bean burgers didn't last
long
eat at Wendy's til the end of time while
beyond burgers are all the rage these
days some attempts by fast-food chains
to introduce healthier menu options have
fallen flat
one example is Wendy's black bean burger
it just didn't hit the target with
customers most of which visit Wendy's
for the usual fast-food indulgences
Wendy's Baconator extra bacon maybe if
the black bean burger had been launched
today when there is so much buzz about
the benefits of plant-based diets it
would have done better we'll never know
Wendy's began testing the veggie burger
in 2016 it was designed to satisfy
people who don't eat meat it included a
patty made from black beans corn and
roasted red pepper the burger featured
pepper jack cheese spring veggies
tomatoes and a sauce with Parmesan ranch
flavor the burger had a multigrain bun
made from a host of seeds and grains
maybe it was delicious it was however an
idea whose time had not come the black
bean burger experiment failed by summer
of 2017 the black bean burger was off
the menu could I just have a frosty and
baked potato please Canadian Wendy's
offer poutine Wendy I'm home
Canadians know that poutine is a
glorious treat for many people in the
great white north poutine is a comfort
food and a guilty pleasure composed of
golden-brown french fries covered in
cheese curds and gravy it's filling
savory and oh so Canadian because it's a
classic Canadian dish it's available at
Wendy's fast-food chains in Canada
Wendy's new barbecue pulled pork is now
perched atop a perfect plate of poutine
a lot of fast-food chains in Canada
offer poutine including McDonald's and
AMW Burger King too there are surely
many more fast-food joints in Canada
that also offer this not
light menu option Americans who want a
taste of Wendy's poutine should cross
the border and try it it's great with
salt and pepper or as is some people add
other spices or toppings to make it
their own
in Canada poutine is big business and
there are gourmet poutine shops that
offer some innovative spins on the
classic recipe such as poutine with
truffles or bacon in Canadian Wendy's
classic poutine is on the menu as well
as bacon poutine
they are sides which are hearty enough
to stand alone there is a secret french
fry hack they can fondue fries only at
Wendy's
cheese finally has its day if you're
obsessed with getting the freshest fries
right out of the fryer cuz your stalker
I know try asking for your Wendy's fries
without salt when you do the restaurants
cooks will need to whip up a fresh batch
of fries as existing fries have already
been salted this tip comes from a
Wendy's staff member who posted online
on an anonymous message board another
option for getting the very freshest
Wendy's grub is to order it during peak
times when a Wendy's restaurant is very
busy it usually has crack team members
on shift who are very good at making a
lot of fresh foods quickly food doesn't
tend to sit around during these periods
you may need to wait in line for a bit
when it's very busy such as during the
lunch or dinner rush but you will
probably get food that's extremely fresh
most people do want salt on their fries
know though even though a lot of sodium
isn't so good for them salty fries are
an international passion Wendy's french
fries are usually sprinkled with sea
salts before they are served to
customers unless customers want them
salt free these fries are natural cut
from complete potatoes with the skins
included the beef really is never frozen
at Wendy's not frozen
guys some people are skeptical of the
marketing claims that fast-food chains
make but Wendy's employees who post
anonymously online have verified that
the ground beef used to make burgers at
Wendy's is in fact really fresh
apparently fresh non frozen beef is
delivered to the restaurants frequently
such as twice per day
Wendy's cheeky social media posts are
often funny and one of those posts was a
diss at McDonald's Wendy's social media
team decided to call McDonald's out for
using frozen beef and most of the burger
served at all of the billions served
fast-food chain so you will be getting
fresh ground beef that's never been
frozen when you order a burger at
Wendy's the chain relies on fresh ground
beef that isn't frozen to lure in
customers not that many loyal Wendy's
customers need much prodding to visit
