New Article: Wendy’s 99-Cent Super Value Menu!

Somebody had to do it. Here's an extensive review of everything on Wendy's 99-cent "Super Value Menu," from cheeseburgers to baked potatoes, and yes, even chili. I don't mention it in the article, but the place actually managed to screw up an order as simple as "one of everything." After getting home and noticing three cans of chili and sorely missing fries, we had to actually go back to the drive-thru window and go through everything all over again. It wouldn't have been so bad, but if you just ordered "one of everything," would you really want to go back to the place five minutes later? All for the sake of faux journalism. Check the review.

Being the poor family that we were on the rare occasions that we went out, we had two choices- Wendy’s or White Castle. My vote was always for Wendy’s. Frosties were like sweet chocolate semi liquid crack for me, except that i wasnt allowed to get both a drink and a frosty. :(

You want inspiration? Here’s your muse for the day — Wendy’s fries dipped in Frostee. Therein lies heaven.

Should I be excited about having 3rd comment on the ol’ blog. Beats me.
What also beats me is why does Wendy’s Mushroom cheddar burger suck. Mushrooms=good. Cheddar=good. Burger=good.
Where did they go wrong. It was terrible.
I blame the lack of kethup. Sweat, sweat kethcup. Or catsup if your one of those.

I have a feeling that ice cream thingy would have fared better in the ‘staying more like ice cream’ arena had it not been shoved in a bag with hot greasy stinky food for a whole car ride home. Then again, judging by the quality of the other food they have for sale, I doubt it.

Still, I’d like to see someone ‘double the beef’ on a triple cheeseburger. Nothing like fucking with fast food places and their silly extra thingies. Like when I went to McDonalds, got an ice cream cone, and told them to ‘make it bacon.’ There was a lot of commotion in the kitchen about THAT one. Jeez. I just wanted bacon ice cream! Is that so hard to understand?

Hey again everyone. Guess I wasnt 3rd post. Damn!!!

Any way this is way off the subject. But everyone needs to hop on Kazaa or whatever thier source may be.

Down Load BATMAN: DEAD END. This guy directed a demo to expose his directing skills.

He did a damn good job in this 6min BATMAN film that pits ol’ Bats against Alien and Predator.

Batman VS Predator was one of the first comics I ever read and after seeing this I’m blueballin’ for an entire movie.

as a vegetarian, I hate to admit that Wendy’s was one of my favorites before the big switch. Their fries are definatly the best (damn frying in animal byproducts) now the only real fast food joint left is subway and jared’s vegi sandwich.

Chestnuts roasted by brandon @ 09/04/2003 7:13 PM

Batman: Dead End is well-made, but pretty silly. Wank material for fanboys. There’s my review.

Just curious Matt, what foods do you like? Your reviews seem to make it clear that you’re not into fast food, and often seem to come across as very health conscious. On the other hand you’ve admitted to being a fan of various candies and sugary drinks, so I’m left with conflicting signals here.

Here is "Batman: Dead End" with a behind the scenes documentary:

Unless you have the latest Quicktime go for the Full Screen version

Matt’s a food concious smoker, it kills me…in a laughable kind of way, not a whiney 2nd hand smoke kind of way.

Matt, you’ve been on a role these past few weeks! First Madd Matt, then Unicron (glad i didn’t buy him, 50 bucks, pshhh), and now the Wendy’s article. I feel like your celebrating my birthday. that is so nice of you. Almost too nice, eww.

Remember Burger King’s "We Changed Our Fries And Now Let’s Give Them Away Free For a Day" promotion? Yeah, that ruled. I was in High School at the time and my friends and I would always hit the fast food chains after school (and many times before). That day the three Burger Kings in our area must have lost $16000 in sales just from my little group.

Too bad Burger Kings fries still suck ass.

Matt, I totally agree about the price of the McNuggets. The best deal McGrimace ever ran, was the Emperial Pack during the Mulan promotion. 30 McNuggets, two fries, two drinks, for seven bucks. Yeah, I’ll die of a stroke before I’m 30, but I’ll go out greasy and ketchup soaked.

::discusses this article with others::

i’m so glad you didn’t eat all that stuff, Matt. at first, i was afraid that you’d attempt it as part of documenting the experience. that chili looked nasty.

i think they gyp’ed you on the Frosty, too. when i get them, they’re sooooo thick. ridiculously thick. like… thick.

Chestnuts roasted by zann @ 09/04/2003 8:03 PM

Besides Hellpop! thats what this website is all about, all those stupid silly things that we love anyway.

Love is like a Jr Bacon Cheeseburger. It may be alittle messy, with more mayo than god ever imagined, but dammit after I eat one I get to have one of the most magical and pleasing bowel movements you could ever imagine.

The kind where you see hundreds of little flying naked people all round you.

Now am I right or am I wright.

VIVA X-E!!!!! VIVA EL Matte!!!!!

Chestnuts roasted by Yankee Clipper @ 09/04/2003 8:11 PM

i like wendy’s food but i never go to wendy’s because EVERY time i go there they screw up the order. I think ill try that bacon ice cream idea….

I usually go to in n out for burgers and fries and shakes. In n out has the best burgers….

Chestnuts roasted by heeloyd @ 09/04/2003 8:11 PM

Heeloyd — there too? Wow, thought ours was the only one. It’s unbelievable how consistent they are in screwing up orders. The cardinal rule with the Wendy’s in our town, as everyone seems to know: check your shit before pulling away. This also explains the sickly long wait on the drive-thru. RIP TOMAS DAVE.

stomach ache

Chestnuts roasted by katie @ 09/04/2003 8:22 PM

yeah…the worst part of it is that they tease you by putting the right thing on the order screen but then when you get to the window its all wrong. the burgers are mixed up and if you want no mayo your getting mayo and lots of it at that. There was one time though that we got a few extra burgers…so that wasnt too bad. XD

Chestnuts roasted by heeloyd @ 09/04/2003 8:24 PM

Someone mentioned an egg in the Unicron article. This one has another one. Click on the pics guys.

Nachokhaki:

You’re not the only one who loves fries-dipped-in-Frosty… It’s really good, but… come on, whoever thought that one up? Was it a dare or something? "Dude, I dare you to dip a fry in your Frosty and eat it!"

Chestnuts roasted by MaxWattage @ 09/04/2003 9:07 PM

Wasn’t it Wendy’s where a mouse head was found in the chili? I would have loved to have seen that woman (I believe it was a woman) scoop that head from the yellow bowl, considering to herself "Is this just a nice big chunk of beef; I wonder how spicy it is." Then bam! its eyes glow read and it bites her nose!

And Matt, that tube of hot sauce is Wendy’s own chili sauce; if you can find me chili sauce any better I’ll give you my . . . I’ll give you my thumbnail (only not the whole thing).

PS Hellpop is absolutely correct, Batman: Dead End is the fanboy equivalent of porno, it may seem exciting and exotic at first, but once the load is blown you’re looking at one really silly piece of fiction.

Chestnuts roasted by inkmage @ 09/04/2003 9:15 PM

I remember the new Burger King fries – their secret ingredient was something called ‘more salt’. Since when did it become Kosher to put mayonnaise in or on anything but tuna fish? That stuff just looks like liquid fat.

Chestnuts roasted by steve @ 09/04/2003 10:07 PM

inkmage–

It was a man.. he actually went into a fit of rage, and through a chair after the workers refused to give him water. I read an article on it at newsfilter.org
I used to like their chili, but after reading that, I’ll never eat it again.

Chestnuts roasted by sheep @ 09/04/2003 10:16 PM

Zann-

The meat in the chili is boiled meat that has been sitting on the grill to long from past days.

God I hate my job but college better pay off.
