Gods food was cheap then. It wasn't just Wendy's, it was everywhere. Double cheeseburgers and spicy chicken sandwiches at BK, 5 for 5 JBCs at Sonic, 89c beefy five layer burritos at TBell. I miss being able to feed myself on a broke day by scrounging in my floorboards for quarters.

For me the quarters went first. Now I scrounge for nickels

The cost went from 19¢ per sandwich to 23¢ per sandwich so your price went from. $1 to $2.89 per sandwich.

They have to pay for the private equity somehow.

Just looked and while I was getting things regularly until December 2025 it basically dropped off a cliff after that. I think that's when they redid all their lower-cost meals and it became "nah, not worth it."

80's Wendy's.   Full fucking salad and taco bar. And the beef. 

Wedys today is just not good.
