deer fuck I want it

but I know wendy's sucks and I'm going to a local place to get a better burger soon anyway, but just LOOK AT IT

[–] Raxiel@lemmy.world 14 points 20 hours ago

I don't understand what the problem is

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago

WTF?! The marketing department at Wendy's is trying really hard.

This has to be a clever anti-consumerist guerilla art piece, right? Please?

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I could also imagine a local burger joint doing this as a novelty item, but not Wendy's

[–] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

A local joint in my area did something like this last year. A five dollar burger with two patties, and one dollar per extra patty, no limit.

I'm sure in practice there would have been a limit, but we got a lot of burger for twenty dollars that day. It came skewered and served on its side in what I'm guessing was a submarine sandwich tray.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago

I would have taken it home, and have food for days.

Reminds me of 'why do Americans eat like they have free universal health care?'

[–] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'm 100% positive this isn't real

Is there really a target market for this abomination?

Given Heart Attack Grill exists, I'd say so

[–] leftthegroup 1 points 13 hours ago

Man I wish I had time to get there when I went to Vegas.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Kids, the internet tells me that I can get 10 regular Wendy's cheeseburgers for $27.90

So it a $2 upcharge for them to use less bread and pay the marketing team.

[–] Rednow@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Your 10 cheeseburgers don't come with a sick shirt though.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

That's why I would buy it

[–] rugburn@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Does it come in anything smaller than an XL?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 4 points 23 hours ago

Yes, forr some reason those sizes are the only ones not in backorder.

Teenage stoner me would have destroyed that

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Teenage stoner me wouldn't have had $30 dollars to spend on that... if i did I was buying another g.

Teenage me had access to $1 Junior bacon cheeseburgers. I have ordered 10+ on multiple occasions.

Paying $30 for one burger would not have happened.

Dude, with the t-shirt included, you'd be stupid not to do it

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

it'd be awesome for them to sell this horrorburger and only give out small/xtra small shirts lol

I didn't even see the word "or" at first

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Apparently the Dave's Triple only existed to make the Dave's Double seem more reasonable. And it worked

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

the t-rex exists to make the velociraptor reasonable

[–] pewpew@feddit.it 16 points 1 day ago

This is one of the most american things I have ever seen

[–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

that many patties and no bacon? what am I, some kind of peasant? pfft

[–] ryantown@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Let's be real: how would one eat this? It's got to be fork and knife and that's a burger line that shouldn't be crossed in my book.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you want to be real, each patty is about 1/3" thick after cooking. That's only 3 inches of meat, a joke that people need to get on immediately.

There's probably fancy burgers with onion rings on them that are the same size or larger in your hands.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

only 3 inches of meat, a joke

...nobody? Nobody is going to jump on this one? Fine.

That's what she said.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I'm as disappointed as you are.

I served that up like a 9 patty burger!

Is this safe for my pet T-Rex to eat? I don't know if it's too much sodium.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My partner and I would get that and buy a pack of buns and have burgers for a week

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

$30/9 is $3.33 for just 1 cooked patty and cheese. So each of these DIY burgers of yours is maybe $3.50 -$4

How much is just a single a Wendy's cheeseburger? Edit: looks like under $3

So marketing scam confirmed.
