Wendy's is certainly not my favourite place for getting Burgers, but I do prefer them over McDonalds, KFC and Subway. Strange that they haven't yet set foot in other markets outside North America.

So one semi- (and very semi-) smart response to a wise-* twitter poster, 3 days ago, makes this person "sass master", "hero", "unexpected beacon of light", "one of the coolest damn people on the planet".
I thought I might be missing something, some long history of clever creation, but it says "The fresh tweets that started it all" - again, from 3 days ago.
No wonder the Kardashians are popular.

They bought Tim Horton's in '95 and tried to bring it to the US and failed. So they spun it off in 2006.
Then in 2008, Arby's (through its parent, Triarc) bought Wendy's, assumed the Wendy's name and divested from Arby's in 2011. Wendy's still has lots of debt, like $2.5B.

I think the appeal is the lack of buttoned-up, corporate, boilerplate bovine scat.
If you didn't think the "forgot about refrigerators for a second" tweet was a funny and clever smart@ss response, I'd say you're missing a humor gene.

I forgot that the new logo with "MoM" under the collar was part of a makeover which franchisees haven't finished. That was 2012 and store makeovers cost $500K
I've seen two McDonalds in my area be torn down and rebuilt since when Wendy's announced the update. The Wendy's franchises still look like crap and both look asvif they're not even open. Poor lighting, from the street they loook.closed

The Twitter feed might be funny, but the article is horrendous. Horribly written and formatted. It's the guy from Family Guy who proceeds to tell you why the joke is funny, except that the guy from Family Guy is done in 10 seconds, and this article takes 2,000 words to tell you why the Wendy's Twitter feed is funny.
