I tried a baconator once 15+ years ago in the US. It was advertised as having 10 rashers of bacon on it! I had to know for myself. I obviously bought fries and their signature Frosty (thickshake) to accompany do I could get the full experience.
I learnt three things that day:
- Americans call the streaky bacon bit a rasher. So they're about 3cm by 10cm.
- a manufactured food that is 1/3 fat has a surprising amount of structural integrity.
- people dip their fries in their thickshakes.
I only ate salad for days afterwards. We really don't need Wendy's or even just another shit-tier burger place like them.

Naming rights aside, I doubt another shitty burger chain will see success in Aus. If you want a shitty burger, we got that covered in almost every town and suburb. Aussie typically want higher quality fast food.

I’m waiting for the inevitable Carl’s Jr implosion, no way those restaurants are sustainable businesses.

You don’t even need to look at Carl’s Jr. Just look at taco Bell I’ve walked past it and am convinced it’s used as either money laundering or a tax write off. There’s never anyone there.

I had a carls jr burger the other day, and it was the driest burger patty I have ever had.

Wendy’s in the US is actually one of the better day did restaurants. Still only about comparable to Australian KFC at best.

Wendy’s in Canada is excellent. Dave’s Single and Double are the best fast food cheeseburgers IMO
