Remember when you were like 7 and thought changing your name to Thunder BearSword would be super cool?
Like that, but our cheeseburgers are still better.

I think the whole purpose is to let people know that they serve lunch. Once people come in and order lunch, the name will quickly revert back.

(17,984 posts)6. I suggest Wendy's try a name change as well
Maybe "Stormy's"?

(31,261 posts)7. My oldest brother will only eat Wendy's burgers.
I no longer eat beef burgers, but when I did, Wendy's made the best (the best today, but not as good as the common mom and pop burger that I could get growing up as a kid).

(17,984 posts)8. Before going vegetarian, I would eat Wendy's every week
Compared to the other franchises, they were the best.
