Fast food giant to launch 200 stores on our shores

  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

  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:

  1. Americans call the streaky bacon bit a rasher. So they're about 3cm by 10cm.
  2. a manufactured food that is 1/3 fat has a surprising amount of structural integrity.
  3. 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.

    People who do number 3 should be rounded up and executed.

      A number three is diarrhoea isn’t it?

  Australia is already catching up to America on obesity rates. But fuck it let’s just go full America on this shit.

    Come to Brisbane and you'll see we are much obesier than America

  I mean isn’t there already wendys in Australia?

  Im sure there was a wendys in the Northern Territory when i was a kid

  • landsharkkidd@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yeah it’s a hotdog and ice cream chain. I wonder if they’ll have to change the name similar to Hungry Jacks because Burger King was already a restaurant when they came over here.

    source

    • Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      An, i always thought they were the same thing.

      There’s no longer a wendys in the Northern Territory so maybe they have gone under. If that’s the case I’m sure wendys US would be able to buy name rights and go with it.

      I never knew Wendy’s (the hotdog one) was Australian until now. I just always assumed that was the US Wendy’s.

  Does this mean the Australian Wendy’s stores have all gone? Our local one died in the pandemic, but I hadn’t heard the whole company went under.

  • surreptitiouswalk@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    My guess is they came to an agreement that their product offering is different enough that they can trade under the same name?

  Do we get a vote, before they come over?

    You can vote with your wallet.

  All the Americans are like “Wendys taste like shit” and my immediate snap back is “That’s because America has terrible food standards”.

  Like yeah you wont die if you eat the food but you don’t know if its bacon or 1-20 dead rats flat packed together.
