Wendy's MEAL OF MISFORTUNE


In the absence of an inspiration river, I have turned to food. Not just to eat my creative sorrows, but maybe to get the mental meat juices flowing. And let me just say that a fast-food pop culture meal tie-in is just the thing to unclog my genius.


I couldn't give two shits about the new Wednesday show. I've seen enough from trailers and memes to know that it's not for me. Besides, Christina Ricci is the only Wednesday in my heart. 


But none of that matters when we're talking about Frosties and chicken nuggets. Wendy's limited time Meal of Misfortune hooked me from the get go. For starters, the color scheme of the associating paper products is purple and black. They could have been advertising a new elephant meat product and I would have tried it simply for the very pretty colors. It's spooky. Yep I'm a Halloweenie through and through. Just add some stupid horror font and I come lapping like a big dumb dog.


How can they creepy up their Frosty? Add BLOOD! Or, cherry to make it look nasty, and taste friggin' delicious. And prizes! You get a PURPLE collectable spoon, with a damn skull and raven to boot. 


The fare is ordinary Wendy's cuisine. You get some fries and nuggies, however, if you dare, you can dip them into your Dips of Dread. There are four different special dips and you get 2 with your meal: "You Can't Hyde", "This Will Sting", "Grave Mistake", and "Nowhere to Woe". The fun part comes in the surprise of it. It's a total mystery as to which sauce you're given. While I don't like spicy, I tried them in the spirit of experimentation. Too hot. 


It was fun eating in the restaurant with the fam and sharing food. I guess when Bennett Media is foggy on ideas we can eat. We got all these snacks.
