Anyone eaten at Wendy's since the chili scandal started?

[KitchenWitch]

[xmas74]

1. Nope.

I only ate the salads before but now I get grossed out even driving by.
I shoulda gone this weekend for the free Frosties.

[name not needed]

2. Yes

[Zuni]

3. I ordered the chili

just for the hell of it.

[yellowcanine]

21. I had the chicken fingers smothered in ketchup...mmmm.

[benburch]

4. Yep!

I never doubted that it was anything but a transparent scam for a cash settlement.

I hope she serves maximum jail time.

[KitchenWitch]

6. Totally agree!

I went out of my way today to eat at Wendy's, did not need a free frosty to get me there.

[n2mark]

11. Almost was going there today

to buy their fruit bowl, but decided why spend the money I have food in my fridge.

I am not afraid to eat there.

[Zuni]

18. Not only that...it is just disgusting what she did

[petronius]

22. I wonder...

...do you think she really put the finger in her mouth - for maximum realism - or did she just put it in the bowl and scream?

[Zuni]

24. I don't think she actually put it in her mouth

I just doubt that

[chaska]

5. I hear they have this delightful new finger food. I'd give....

and arm and a leg to try it.

[KitchenWitch]

10. Hey chaska!

Bad chaska :evilgrin:

How is it going?

[chaska]

31. Well, hello Miss Kitchy Witchy. Conjure up any good victuals lately?

Is your chili a finger food too?

...Wait a minute, isn't that how we first met here? Weren't you asking about good canned chili? Was that you?

"Anyhoo", said the owl, have a good evening.

[KitchenWitch]

40. Hehehe

Stagg Chili, isn't it?

[Historic NY]

7. Nope....I'm waiting until they have chicken fingers on the menu........n/t

[JVS]

8. I think subway must have put that woman up to it

[pstans]

9. Yes

I worked at Wendy's for a couple of years when I was in high school and the food is great and the restaurant was pretty clean. If the incident even happened, which I believe it was made up, I think it was a one-time freak accident.

[highnooner]

15. I had Wendy's Chili tonight

BUUUUURP!

[n2mark]

17. Of all the fast food places

I think they are the best. They also appear to be the cleanest and healthiest for fast food.

[pstans]

25. I agree

When my brother was in high school, he worked at Burger King. I worked at Wendy's. When my brother would get home from work, he stunk, really bad like nasty pickles and went right to the shower. When I would get home, I didn't smell at all and felt comfortable to go straight to a social event with friends and such.

My only explanation between the difference is that the food at Wendy's is fresher than at BK.

[Taragui Junkie]

41. It WAS made up

Didn't you see the news story a few days ago? The finger belongs to a co-worker of her husband's, who lost it in a construction accident. Major fraud, and she has a looooong history of similar scams.

[Dr Batsen D Belfry]

12. Yes. Wendy's is one of the few FF

places we will eat. We know the manager at ours.

I liked Dave Thomas, his approach as an corporate leader, and his charity. I had a hinch all along this was a hoax.

DBDB

[Zuni]

16. I thought that as soon as I heard it

the only question was where did the finger come from? Apparently it came from some dude that knew her.

[hyphenate]

13. Sure

It's a thousand times better than McDonalds or Burger King in many respects, and I love their salads. I picked up a fruit bowl just last night.

[progmom]

14. I never really ate there before the scandal...and FF chili grosses me out

...so...no.

[DS1]

19. I haven't had fast food from a chain in months if not a year

:shrug:

[Wapsie B]

20. Yeah I have.

I love their salads and baked potatoes and yes even their chili.

[Kat45]

23. Yup.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. They figured out where the finger came from

[progressoid]

27. Of course, why not? nt

[Skittles]

28. yes

that hoax was such a bunch of nonsense

[Dave Reynolds]

29. I had the chili today,

nobody's finger in it, so I stuck mine in.

[RickWn]

33. LOL!!

When I picked up my tray with the chili, I looked the girl straight in the eye and said, "Hey, I thought the chili came with a side of ribs." She fell over laughing.

Me and the wife knew this was a scam the moment the news hit the media. Sad for Wendy's that they had to admit although the whole thing indeed turned out to be a scam, they lost (according to them) millions in sales of all their products during resolution of the scam.

[Dave Reynolds]

36. I'm kind of a captive Wendy's audience,

the hospital I work at has a cafeteria that is less than good and far less than affordable. There is a Wendy's right in front of the cafeteria. I still can't figure out the fast food in the hospital thing, I guess it's a plan for future inpatients..

[RickWn]

44. Thanks. Another good chortle

Just the deadpan kind of delivery, with the zinger, that I've always loved. Just like Steven Wright, you know, that Art Garfunkel looking comedian. One of his best lines I always thought was this one:

Twenty four beers in a case. Twenty four hours in a day. Coincidence?
I don't think so.

Ummm, or maybe it was this zinger:

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?


Got to keep a sense of humor, even during the bad breaks.

[last_texas_dem]

30. Nah

and I am guilty of eating way more fast food than I should. It's not that I haven't eaten there 'cause of the "finger" incident, it's simply 'cause my hometown Wendy's is disgusting. Not sure why it's so much worse than other Wendy's restaurants, but it is.

[Bouncy Ball]

32. I haven't had ANY fast food in....oh about three months?

And even back when I did, I never ate Wendy's. Or McDonald's. Or Burger King.

Blech. :puke:

[Enraged_Ape]

34. I had the chili last night

I love Wendy's chili. It's cheap, it's fast, and it's relatively fresh tasting, at least at our local store.

That finger scam was transparently bogus from the very start. Who the hell did she think she was fooling?

[Shell Beau]

35. I have twice and am glad to say that there were no

fingers, toes, or any other random piece of human. I was a little sketchy my first time but then realized I was being silly!

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

37. I abandoned Wendy's long before that silly affair.

Fresh hamburgers, my ass.

[Floogeldy]

38. No

But that is because I only eat there about once a year anyway.

B-)

[benburch]

39. You have more to worry about than Chili!

[entanglement]

47. Hilarious picture

"You didn't say please..."

:rofl: :rofl:

[amazona]

42. No

Sorry. Don't eat there and probably haven't in a decade. The 80s "where's the beef" are over.

[leftofthedial]

43. the answer is on the tip of my tongue

but I just can't put my finger on it . . .

[In_The_Wind]

45. No !

nope!

no way!

not going there at all!

[Bzzzz]

46. Yes...

I never stopped. I'll tell ya one better. An area state policeman went thru the drive-thru at our local Burger King. When he received his sandwich he decided to check it. Good thing...a young man employed there had ejaculated on the sandwich. The cop said what tipped him off was when he was handed the sandwich the kid said "enjoy your sandwich" in a really funny tone and strange facial expression. The sick kid was arrested after DNA testing and spent time in juvie.:puke:
