...for context, Apple used to be very particular about pronouncing it “mack oh-as ten”. There is somewhat of a reason behind this, nobody will pronounce SuperBowl ⅩⅬⅧ as “eks-el-vee-triple-eye”.
Not my intention, I’m trying to make the point of not purchasing from them due to deceptive pricing but it is still essentially free marketing. Not sure how to bring it up without that being the case
I think calling it an ad is a bit dishonest tbf. If you're of the mindset that all marketing is good marketing, then companies suddenly cannot be criticised because it's advertisement.
Yeah it’s definitely bloated with companies just trying to act witty or like they’re people. Mastodon is infinitely better in that respect. Ive just been dumb trying to get more outreach for the social stuff I’ve been trying to do 😣
Yeah I’d be fine if it were just the tax, but literally marketing something one way and charging a 25% markup is just false advertising. Either change the name of the deal or change the price.
Am I petty for making such a fuss about $1, hell yeah, but is it annoying that “value” meals from every major fast food chain are going up while keeping the same name/title, absolutely
Yeah. A lot of people have noticed the shrinking burgers. Not just Wendy's, either. Been most all of the fast food places doing it. Wendy's double stack is just the one that ticks me off the most, because that's the main thing I'd go for if I was getting a fast food burger from anywhere.
The double stack was definitely a nostalgia hit for me. It’s something my grandmother would always get for me so it was a nice memory. Picking up a double stack nowadays really sours part of that for me. Better to just avoid them now.
Haha sorry if the title is confusing. The meal is supposed to be those specific 4 items that you pay $4. Guess it would read more correctly as “4 for $4” but I was dumb and said for $5 since their pricing is deceptive. (Sorry if you’re just making a joke and it whooshed over my head 😅)
Is Wendy's still doing the sassy Twitter (now known as "X, formerly known as Twitter") schtick?
I believe it's called Ten now. X was too edgy.
It’s Threads, not better than mastodon but still better than Twitter, or at least I hope?
They mean twitter is called Ten, because X is 10.

It's Macintosh Oh-Ass Ex and I will never change.
I played enough fighting games to know it's "Cross".
My bad.
If you hate yourself, open threads. It’s 90% Wendy’s ads.
To be honest this lemmy post is also a Wendy's ad.

yes I have seen a meme and now I have a need to go to the nearwst Wendy's, gonna just walk there real quick however many thousand kms that is
Yes! But now they’re also on Threads, I would’ve put this on Mastodon if they existed there
What the shit do they call "tweets" now?
Any name I think of sounds like an abomination from hell.
"Xeets"?
"Xits"?
"Musk droppings"?
This is Threads (Meta 😭). Would prefer to just be on Mastodon but I wanted answers from Wendy’s
Xcrements
Threads, social media for people who wish it was mostly Wendy’s ads.
Yeah it’s definitely bloated with companies just trying to act witty or like they’re people. Mastodon is infinitely better in that respect. Ive just been dumb trying to get more outreach for the social stuff I’ve been trying to do 😣
Wendy's in Japan is called "Fakkin"
That is all
not counting tax I'll bet
$5.35 after taxes. I just want answers on why it’s wrong and Wendy’s will never answer me 🥲
In your county. Taxes here (Sacramento, California) are 8.75%
Not that we'd begrudge a few pennies from a Wendy's purchase.
You don't get to keep your 4 for $4 marketing when you raise it to $5. It smacks of capitalism desperation.

I’ve always thought that but never had a way to prove it, so I just assumed it was millennial boomer brain on my part.

Screw the meme. That entire meal costs 4 quid?
Well, 5 actually
It's 4 quid converted from freedom bucks
4 for $4*
*per menu item
So, is it that number 4 is supposed to be $4 or that you order 4 number 4's and only have to pay $4?
Haha sorry if the title is confusing. The meal is supposed to be those specific 4 items that you pay $4. Guess it would read more correctly as “4 for $4” but I was dumb and said for $5 since their pricing is deceptive. (Sorry if you’re just making a joke and it whooshed over my head 😅)
It's four for four fores for forever fours fore.
