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.

Oh yeah we purposly screw up becouse we hate our customers I get paid min wage and you all look ugly.

Plus I have better things to do like sticking uncooked hamburger patties on the ceiling. I wish I had cups hanging from the ceiling that way I can toss ketchup packets into them.

Carrageenan is a natural stabalizer derived from seaweed and is commonly used in chocolate milk.

BTW I love wendy’s, I’ll mostly just get the baked potato or the jr. bacon cheese burger. And sometimes i’ll treat myself to a frosty.

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! That’s right, folks… our lord and Master Matt-X is doing his people proud! Mini-documentaries on Unicron, food, and zombies from Hell who enjoy He-man… this man does it all! I’d bow to him and hand over both my Megatron toys (both the original gun AND the G2 Tank) as well as my Dark Gundam action figure. He deserves it all, Lord Matt does.

I go to Wendy’s a lot of the time when I’m in downtown Montreal because I’m frequently in the mood for a spicy chicken burger, and the only KFC (called PFK here, for "Poulet Frit Kentucky") in downtown Montreal is in the stupid Place Ville Marie food court, which closes at the same time as the rest of the shopping centre (Mon-Wed 6 p.m., Thu-Fri 9 p.m., Sat-Sun 5 p.m.), 5 days of the week well before I’m ready for dinner. I like the Wendy’s Spicy Chicken because it’s marinated in hot sauce; the Spicy Big Crunch at KFC just adds a hot topping, though the chicken itself is much better (we used to have the KFC Zinger up here, which is, by far, the best Spicy Chicken sandwich I’ve ever tasted, but they stopped selling it about 2 years back in favour of the Spicy Big Crunch)… well, sometimes I go to the closest freestanding KFC/PFK location, way up on Park, but usually I settle for the Wendy’s Spicy Chicken, which is pretty good, though sometimes it seems just a tad stale.

Personally, I still like McDonald’s fries best, of the major chains, at least, but Wendy’s fries are a close second, and you get plenty with your meal even if you don’t "Super Size"…

You can order extra patties on your Wendy’s burgers for a small price.

My friend ate a seven patty Wendy’s burger.

I think he’s dead now.

The Stealthy Warrior is now hungry.

Out here in the Midwest have another treat on the $.99 menu: The 1/4 lb. Double Stack. It has 2 slices of beef, cheese, ketchup, pickles, onions and of course buns. However, when I went to Ohio and ate at the first Wendys ever, their 1/4 lb. double stack was different. I wrote an article about it for my site, here’s the link:

Oh yeah, and actually the burger is pretty good, especially cos it’s big and only $.99 give Dave Thomas a break I mean, c’mon Matt, it’s no Hungry Man Breakfast at least.

wendys chili is outsatanding. i saw that matt got the "chili seasoning". here we have to ask for it special, but its well worth the effort. put the 2 magic packets in, let it simmer for a few seconds, and the chili is unbeatable. just dont agree to the "cheese and onions" they try to push on you. the extra 50 cents is too great a cost to pay for almost no cheese, and far too many onions.

let this be a lesson to all you "people"
If you order something at a restaurant and it’s wrong don’t ever bring it back telling the cashier/cook that it was a mistake, not unless you want extra protein in your next meal. a la cum shot. the people working in fast food places don’t like you, don’t want you there, and don’t want be there themselves.
Remember- smiling and saying ‘thank you’ will lessen the chance of you swallowing someone else’s children later.

Bring back the forum for the love of god

Come out to New Mexico sometime and check out the Wendy’s out here. We have something special on our 99 cent menu. Green Chili Jr. Cheeseburger. Nothing better in the world on a nice fall evening.
What is even better is almost all the fast food joints out here offer a 99 cent green chili burger. If they don’t you can always have them put on another burger. I think I am gonna go eat now.

Chestnuts roasted by NewMexicoBill @ 09/05/2003 4:53 AM

Geek is right about the chili…i used to work @ wendy’s too. When a burger has sat on the grill too long, and gets burnt and dry, it gets put in a heated storage bin of sorts. At the end of the day (now, mind, these things have been sitting since 11:00 AM) theyre put in the freezer, taken out the next day and boiled in scummy water, chopped, boiled again in the chili, and put out somewhere to sit again till you order it. Once, someone forgot to empty the bins, and the meat turned a sickning green color, but that aparently didnt stop the manager from requesting that it be put in the freezer with all the rest. I have never eaten wendy’s chili and expecially now that ive seen it prepared, i never will, and furthermore, advise that no one else eats it either.

I work at the Wendy’s on Arden (for local Staten Islanders) and let me warn you: Do not buy any of the food at night unless they’re really busy.

Chestnuts roasted by Mike M @ 09/05/2003 10:45 AM

On our campus, we have a Wendy’s. Great, huh? No! They have no $.99 value menu — it’s a friggin’ $1.09 menu. How the hell is that a deal? Damn the franchises!!!

Chestnuts roasted by purplegirl247 @ 09/05/2003 10:49 AM

Where is the Double Stack w/ Cheese? Am I missing something here??!!

Chestnuts roasted by KT @ 09/05/2003 11:13 AM

Ok im really hungry now and im at work at my parents store and the only option is Wendy’s, for its the only place I can get to real quick while I close the store up for a second. I was so looking forward to a bowl of chili and a Jr. Bacon. now however I think im gonna have to live off of cigs and some stale pork grinds because I really dont want a rat head in my chili or man juice on my burger. And do you guys have those God awful triple thick Mcdonalds shakes. I demand a petition to bring back the old thin watery shakes back I cant stand the triple thick they taste like chalk and old milk. Wendys should get shakes i love the frosty but I like to comsume my nearly frozen, almost dairy, sugary products with a straw not a oddly shaped spoon.
Matt you really need to do a expose of on taco bell we need to what the fuck a Chalupa is.

Chestnuts roasted by JC @ 09/05/2003 11:35 AM

Do americans not have ten dollar notes? I was a tad confused by the:

Two fivers…(tenner?)

comment in the article.

Ok, that’s my dull thought for the day. You should really get into advertising matt, cos youve made me pine for mcGriddles, unicron and wendy’s stuff (all not available in england )

Chestnuts roasted by Vyle @ 09/05/2003 12:35 PM

All I can say is that Wendy’s kick’s @$$ (keepin’ it PG for all the little kiddies out there). I worked there for three years, and yeah it may have taken 10 years off my life, but I’ll be damned if all that greasy goodness wasn’t worth it. And you know where Wendy’s got me? Medical school…. By the way, this stuff is really bad for you. You shouldn’t eat it… really.

Chestnuts roasted by Mike @ 09/05/2003 12:40 PM

Matt and heeloyd:

You think Wendy fucks up the order? Whenever I go to MacDonald´s it doesn´t matter what I order, they always gave me a fuckin´ MacFish…. what the hell is wrong in that place? When they look for new employees do they post a "IN NEED OF RETARD" ad?

Chestnuts roasted by Butcher @ 09/05/2003 1:13 PM

Matt,
Bless you for doing an article on Wendy’s and mentioning in the Blog how they can screw up even the simplest tasks. The Wendy’s near me is awful and literally everytime I’ve been there, they screw up something. Last time had to be my favorite though. I asked for a baked potato…they told me they were out of them and it would be a half hour before more were ready…like they’re REALLY boiling the potatoes or something in the back there…Compulsive liars!!

Chestnuts roasted by Melissa Y. @ 09/05/2003 1:31 PM

first…. dr. pepper isn’t at wendy’s… it’s the best MR PIBB!

second…. wendy’s messes everything up. I’ll have the mozzerrella chicken supreme, no tomato…. I get a spicy chicken, extra mayo.

third…."cherry tomatoes work great as raptor eggs for grade school science fair dinosaur dioramas. When they start going bad, you’ve developed a new theory as to why the creatures went extinct. Comets and ice ages my ass. They died because their eggs were big cherry tomatoes." is the funniest thing ever

fourth… we have 10 dollar bills… but no one uses them because they are cursed.

fifth… last week my friend ordered the jr cheeseburger delux. He received no meat. Matt got skimped on the cheese, my friend got no meat. bread, mayo, onion, everything else… no meat. They wouldn’t give him another one when he came back… said he probably ate the first one. Then they finally agreed, and handed him a patty to assemble himself. I hate wendys

Here’s a little hint for all the stoners out there. If you live in a state with 6% sales tax, 4 items on the 99c menu come out to be exactly, $4.20. Not only is it a sweet price to pay, it’s also a lot of food, great for late night munchies. As a side note, you can also get 6 plain glazed donuts at Krispy Kreme for the same price. A fitting dessert for such an amazing meal.

Chestnuts roasted by kryonik @ 09/05/2003 1:53 PM

Do you know where they get the meat for the chili? When they make too many burger patties during the day (exceed the demand), they throw them in a bucket, where they fester at room temperature all day, then at the end of the night they chop them all up and put them in the chili. Health code anyone?

Chestnuts roasted by Crooked @ 09/05/2003 2:55 PM

This writer knows nothing about modern health. Fat is not bad for you, it’s the carbs. Fries, potatoes, bun, all will make you huge. Patty, lettuce, cheese, bacon, are all fine.
