hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen
and everyone watching welcome one and all to this newest review of course this newest edition of the
running on empty food review series so here i am back under the bright lights once again
kind of my eyes are re reacclimating to the brightness so to speak and uh of course you know
why not let's go with let's go with some bright lighting for a real big release and um that's my
attempt of trying to hype it up right there yeah wendy's has this item out but a few people have um
have requested they've said hey could you try this out they also have this new mule deal that
this item is a part of that some other people were saying could you try out this meal deal so
i thought well how about we just combine them and try it out so getting right into things
this review is essentially going to be twofold it's going to have two objectives here number one
this is a paper bag
inside the bag though is something that i guess that's they call this the biggie bag it is a
five dollar meal deal that features a bacon double stack sandwich four chicken nuggets a small fries
and a small drink so the first thing is to find out is this five dollar meal deal worth the five
dollars i think the obvious answer to that is yes unless the food of course is absolutely
rancid and horrifically bad that's what i'm here to find out so what will discern what's what
the second thing that i'm also going to be trying out is the bacon double stack now this burger
they've had before but they reintroduced it to the menu along with the biggie bag
to try to uh i guess entice people into getting it and a lot of people seem to like the bacon double
stack i don't think i've ever had that or tried it out before so yeah we're gonna give it a shot
really i'm gonna be reviewing that item but we're gonna see if the meal deal i got it with is um
is worth your money all right now what is the bacon double stack exactly because you might
be saying well like you know what is it is there a smoke stack on it you know or what um there is not
but here's what it has it comes with two junior beef patties bacon of course hence the name it's
like they're going to put a big piece of salami on it and then call it the bacon double stack
it comes with bacon american cheese ketchup mustard pickle and onion so that's the burger
if you would like to get it without this biggie bag it's available by itself for the price of
three dollars 99 cents so this again is the biggie bag you can see those two grease spots
are there intentionally um to commemorate the double stack the two junior um patties
and just kind of lost control there here's the burger
small fries
nuggets though three of the nuggets fell out again they're just so excited that there's
your nuggets right there basic chicken nuggets and i got some barbecue sauce for the fries
and then here's the drink still rubbing it in they're still saying yeah your breakfast could
have been free you know very kind of in your face oh look at that your lunch could have been free
too yeah it is what it is i guess i have this deal you know and they want to promote it etc
all right let's just open up the uh burger here let's see what it looks like
this again is the bacon double stack so there it is let's get a close-up view of it
the patties are very small let me tell you that um i know when you see a double burger you know
or a double cheeseburger you often think that it has a little bit more meat when i took the first
look just as i was opening this up and looking at it i thought did they only put one patty on
it but you can see indeed it does have the two beef patties sandwiched together with the cheese
um there's the bacon looks like some mustard some ketchup in the pickles
not seeing any onion on it this time around
i guess they forgot the onion well it's you know i guess that happens hey it's live not
live television but you know we just get it as we do um but that's what it looks like you know
so there it is a basic sandwich um the head to sandwich comparison for those of you wanting to
see it and determine its size um you can see that it would take maybe like maybe four and a half of
these to equal one review bra head so there you have it uh let's get the thumbnail shot as always
so there i am with it and we'll give a big smile for the camera in three two one
trying it out there we'll give up we'll do this one i'll point i'm really excited about this one
but there it is again a uh you know a view of it looks like a basic burger uh so we'll see what it
tastes like you know it looks like it doesn't look like the world's best sandwich just in terms of
judging a book by its cover i remember there was some people who were just raving about
it and there you say no this is the one sandwich that looks uh that tastes as
good as it looks and it just seems a little smaller than advertised but it
might be real good so let's try it out the bacon double stack from wendy's going in
two more bites
going with the starbucks straw today able to reuse it keep it clean so why
not
you know interesting thing with the color scheme you know they're kind of going with blue white
and then a little bit of red there i think there was a study that was done maybe back
in the 80s or 90s you know about the colors of the packaging that are most appealing
and i think it might have been disney that did this or one you know big company
but uh it was determined you know that yellow and red are the colors for packaging
that are supposed to you know make you like the hungriest hence this is probably why it's red and
thirstiest they determine that lavender is the color that
is really supposed to trigger that thirst so it'd be nice to see a lavender cup one day from wendy's
all right on to the uh onto the burger here's what i have to say it's not it's okay for what it is i
was going to say it's not bad and it's okay at the same time and that's what came out it's all right
when i bit into it the one i mean if there's something that i had to nitpick
you know the patties are pretty small and you can see the comparison of the
size between you know the bun here and the two patties uh sometimes it gets a little
a little chewy because there's so much bun compared to the amount of meat that you're getting
definitely a smaller sandwich uh when you really when you really factor things in now normally when
i go over to wendy's i kind of get the baconator you know i just go with the traditional baconator
the double you know the two patties and that's about twice as big as this it seems this you know
the junior patties they seem to be at the size of maybe one regular patty maybe slightly larger but
not by much and uh just understand when you're getting this don't expect like this real big um
you know juicy bacon burger cheeseburger i guess and think that yeah you know i've been working
all day you know at the construction site or something and i really want some cheap and uh
hearty sustenance and you get this and you think it's going to be some giant burger at a good price
it's going to be smaller than you figured that's just the one thing that i think i need to express
as you can see though still tastes good all things considered just size wise the pictures
don't really give that away until you actually get it one thing that i like about it is the mustard
it's one thing that really just cuts through everything and you can really taste that
nice and cheesy that american cheese of course it's flavorful and i like that
it's a sandwich between two it's not overwhelming though and it's nothing
you know it's not to excess good amount of bacon got the bacon in every single bite
you know flavorful well cooked a little bit of a crisp to it so i can't complain there
the pickles are pretty innocuous and again i wish the onions were on it so i could taste that
a little better but what i saw in the picture it didn't seem like there were many onions on
it so i don't think that really would have made a world of difference if i if i were to infer
um i would say that the onion would probably just similar to the mustard though not as much give a
little bit of a sharpness to it when you bite into it directly providing that it's fresh but
overall the bacon double stack decent burger small for what it is um but again i think decent pretty
um you know pretty inoffensive i think it's just a small but uh alright bacon burger cheeseburger
there we go again all things considered though out of ten i would give the bacon double stack
definitely a little bit you know it's like around slightly above average not perfect by any means so
i think i'd give this a 6.8 out of 10. you know it could always be a little room for improvement here
and there and again just with the bun size etc such as we have to uh to say about that so i think
the bacon double stack very likely as part of this meal deal would probably be definitely um worth it
3.99 again that's just where i would you know kind of factor that in with the the rating i don't know
if it's necessarily a four dollar sandwich maybe more of a three dollar sandwich now real quick
since we got the review out of the way let's just find out if the biggie bag is worth it so we know
that the sandwich is all right i would say that that's still okay the drink evidently didn't kill
me so that's good too um we have our basic chicken nuggets i'll just make sure this isn't rancid
it's not so that's good and we'll try out a fry you know standard french fries
quality is good for these two i've reviewed all of these things in much greater detail so that's why
i'm just kind of skimming through this but the quality of everything else is just average and
to be expected i would say really the numerical rating if i were to issue one for the biggie bag
probably be about a um a little higher than what i rated the sandwich maybe again i'm not really
reviewing the whole bag but i'd say probably around the 7.2 7.3 out of 10 rating i just a
good amount of food at a very good price i'd say that price incentive is really something i mean
you're paying what a dollar more and you get these you get the drink the fries and the four nuggets
that's a pretty good deal i must say so definitely i think the bag is enough to constitute like a
cheap meal but you know maybe the sandwich in and of itself that's there might be some
room for debate but overall in the end i'd say the biggie bag from wendy's good deal and the sandwich
a little above average not perfect you know has a couple issues but again i'm not projectile
vomiting at present and uh so far so good there so today we tried out the uh bacon double stack from
wendy's that's all that i have for you thank you for watching i'm your host the report of the week
