Damn America your food is so cheap ...

Canada am cry

Tell me about it. The average cost of a burger, fries, drink combo as most fast food places is $9 bucks.

 

[Amentallica]

I'd rather have no soda and those three items for 3 bucks instead.

 

[Man God]

Jr. Bacon is already the best value burger period. It's regular price where I live is a buck eighty.

 

[daveo42]

Saw the ad on tv earlier this week. Not a bad deal with the cost of the jr bacon being close to half of the meal itself. I miss the days when you could get one for $1.

Remember the Dollar Menu?

I so miss it. Jr Bacon cheeseburgers for days.

 

[ReAxion]

Just finished this for lunch, not bad for $4 - a filling hot meal and quickly served.

Same and yup.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Your small sodas are effing huge

Yes, but they are usually 90% ice if you don't tell them otherwise, so it's actually not that much drink.

 

[Ledsen]

according to their site's "mealbuilder", 1,130

$8 for a full days worth of calories then, pretty cheap.

 

[hom3land]

Horrible deal.

$4.99 gets you:

BBQ chicken sandwich
Fries
Hush puppies
Large coke/cheerwine

Cookout laughs at Wendy's poor excuse at value.

 

[BennyBlanco]

meh, it includes soda

you can switch it for a coffee

 

[Acerac]

Yeah there's a lot of local places that have better deals. We're talking about national chains here, and excluding Checkers this deal seems up there with the best.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Wendy's is the only fast food chain that doesn't destroy my bowels 6 hours later, so this is neat.

Please see a doctor.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Please see a doctor.

I never know if those posts are serious or not anymore.

 

[Stereogatari]

I cannot believe what you guys consider small. Wtf.

cook out laughs at every single other fast food establishment in the country. not a fair comparison imo.

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

If you’re around Phoenix, Arizona or Grand Rapids, Michigan or Ft. Myers, Florida, keep an eye out for the new Sweet Thai Chili Chicken Sandwich from Wendy’s. This test market chicken sandwich features sweet Thai chili sauce, spring mix, mild green chiles, dill pickles, and smokey chipotle on a brioche bun.

Nutrition-wise you’re looking at 600 calories, 25 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 1850 milligrams of sodium, 63 grams of carbs, 15 grams of sugar, 3 grams of fiber, and 30 grams of protein. We’ll keep you posted on any potential national release.

Jesus a days worth of sodium in a single sandwich. Fuck that.

But I want a burger and nuggets.

 

[HamsterPackage]

Burger king special today was a whopper meal with cheese and poutine. 7.99$ with prices the way they are here I thought I was robbing the place. Lol

 

[Vipershark]

Can I sub a frosty for the drink?

Yeah.
Frosties are considered normal beverages most of the time so the answer to that is usually yes.

 

[eBay Huckster]

isn't that like $6 US? that seems like a damn good deal, depending on whether the poutine is terrifyingly bad or just average

What's Cookout? Some mom and pop burger joint?

I wouldn't want to eat a day's calories at Wendy's.

Local chain

 

[cj_iwakura]

Better just to buy the .99 chicken sandwich, value fries, a small chili, and take that ish home. $3 and some change.

 

[Acrylic7]

Can you mix and match? Would rather have 4 of those burgers for $4

 

[Konka]

No.

 

[akira28]

Damn we sure could use Cookout up here.

Even though their hushpuppies are disappointing for Carolinian fare.

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

All wendys needs to do is have a dollar menu and tiers instead of having almost all their menu super expensive. Until then this deal is a cheap ploy to make people believe they are listening.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Please see a doctor.

I did. I get gassy when I eat ultra ridiculously greasy and cheap ass food like Wendy's, which gives me back pain and leaves me on the toilet for hours.

No other fast food restaurant does that to me, not even Arby's or McDonald's (Taco Bell gives me diarrhoea though). Salt and grease is all Wendy's has going for them.

Get a colonoscopy, maybe?

 

[Kenai]

There was a lot of amazing food in Atlanta. So cheap too. Made it much easier to enjoy Dragon*Con on the cheap.

but Indiana is not Atlanta. This is a pretty good deal if you want a soda, I'm used to paying a bit less than a 5er for a burger, nuggets and fries and just get water.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Get a colonoscopy, maybe?

It's not cancer lol. I don't eat at Wendy's and I'm good (except their chicken strips, I can still eat those as long as I don't buy pop with it)

Edit: I should mention that I love the taste of Wendy's, it just makes me sick when I eat it though. This is unlike Taco Bell where I'm more concerned for my mouth than my intestines.

This is why you're fat. Way too much food for too little money.

I maintain the only reason obesity rate isn't as bad in Canada is that our food (fast food in particular) is too damned expensive.

according to their site's "mealbuilder", 1,130

Oops. Someone did the math for me!

Weird. Just compared Canada's 5-piece Wendy's nuggets to the US. Ours has the same amount of fat and protein as 4 pieces in the US, but half the carbs. Completely different.

 

[nampad]

That sounds quite cheap from over here and it has everything I would want.

 

[vwnut13]

When I went to Canada I went into a St-Hubert Express...

...and I nope'd right out the door.

Ugh this thread makes me want shitty food.

Went to Wendy's today for lunch. Literally every single person in line ordered this, usually with something else.

You could get water and cut out 200 calories. Or even diet coke.

 

[Mimosa97]

Sadly they are everywhere in Quebec .

They're so fucking expensive and the food is trash. And they keep opening new locations every month I swear I don't understand how anyone can eat there. There's one next to my building and it's always packed at lunch.

 

[Man God]

You could get water and cut out 200 calories.

You can also get rid a of a decent amount and nix the cheese.

 

[VariantX]

nice, i think i'll do this for lunch tomorrow

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Mcdonalds has the double cheeseburger+med fries+soda for 3.99

if only McDonald's food wasn't fucking disgusting that could have been a viable option.

 

[Korgill]

then a burger and nuggets you shall have!

What is that place and how do I get them to open right next to my house?

 

[Konka]

Hyperbole is real. A double cheeseburger from McDonalds tastes mostly like salt, it's not incredible, but it's certainly not offensive.

 

[Sykotik]

I usually get two Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers, and just remove the bread and use the patties as the buns. Cuts back on a lot of the calories and carbs, tastes great.

I'm thinking about grabbing this tonight.
