Wieden+Kennedy, eat your heart out. Here’s arguably the most insipid fast food advertisement ever made, courtesy the fine people at Wendy’s:
The Baconator(TM) is a mountain of mouth-watering taste that’s always fresh and made to order. We put six strips of hickory smoked bacon on top of a 1/2 lb. of hot, juicy beef with melted American cheese, ketchup, and mayo for a full-flavored hamburger that won’t be denied! We’re bringing on The Baconator(TM).
Hello, Joe Wenderoth? Are you on this already?

Mmmm. I mean, hmmm. I know it’s perverse but something inside of me is thinking I might want to try it. Living on the edge and all that. Hmmm. I mean, mmmm.

I keep trying to be a Chiep but I never am. What’s up with that?

Dan: Let me know how the edge looks, tastes, smells, etc. I like bacon as much as anyone, so maybe I’m kidding myself here. You can tell me for sure.
Zoot: The Chieps are 1337. That’s about all I can say about it publicly.

I went to Wendy’s tonight and tried to order a Big Bacon Classic, but like many of you, was told that it no longer exists. They then suggested the artery clogging Baconator. This thing is nasty, maybe if it looked like the picture. ha!
Personally, the only reason I really goto Wendys IS the Big Bacon Classic.
Theres a petition online to “Save the Wendy’s Big Bacon Classic” … maybe I’m wrong, but if I like to have atleast SOME veggies on my artery burgers.
