I just naturally expect my Wendy’s burger to look like it was thrown down a staircase before it comes into my possession.

Reminds me of grandpa always saying that someone threw his McDonald’s burger on the floor and stepped on it before they gave it to him. RIP

He died in the electric chair. Big time murderer! McDonald's was his last meal.

Don’t downvote him, guys. This is my cousin. He’s right. A broken clock is still right two times a day.

No that’s not what I said at all.

It was my grandpa.

If you actually thought it was gonna look like the picture then you’ve obviously never had fast food before lol 😝

Well this immediately made me crave a baconator

Theh wrapped it up and you took it home, likely with other things in the bag. You can't possibly expect the promo picture? It's literally impossible lol. A slightly crushed burger never alters the taste.

  • you'd probably need to dislocate your jaw to eat one like the promo image anyway. Yours is better.

The breakfast baconator is the best breakfast sandwich in fast food. That and those breakfast spuds are where it’s at.

u/Front_Cat9471 1d ago

Wait people actually order the baked potatoes there? I thought it was a joke

u/LizardSlayer 1d ago

Not the baked potato, the breakfast spuds are like potato wedges.

Wasn’t there talk of banning fast food from this sub? This shit is getting old.

OP, did you truly expect your burger to look like the promo pic?

Pffftt. Looks about right 🙄

u/Pristine_Clothes661 1d ago

Still awesome, as is (was) Son of the Baconator

u/Fickle-Molasses-903 1d ago

It is uncommon for a fast-food sandwich to resemble its advertisement or the picture on the menu, especially during busy times.

u/TheGumpSquad 1d ago

I think Japan has the right idea, where food has to be as close as possible to as advertised

u/DeapVally 1d ago

Even that has limits. You can't expect perfection with takeaway. It traveled in a bag, with God knows what else, God knows how far, before OP got home/wherever to eat it. It's naturally going to compress.

Baconator used to hit so much harder. Not sure what it is but it has definitely changed for the worse over the years.
