NEW FRIES ARE A NEW COKE FIASCO - WENDY'S

DEAR WENDY,

You've always been my favorite redheaded, pony tailed, freckle faced girl. How's a guy to resist? You have everything I want. Square shaped hamburgers, homemade chili, Frosty's. Oh, and those deliciously salted plank style french fries. Ahhhh! We really were the perfect match; you & I.

But I wasn't enough for you. Was I? You had to go and try to attract someone else, didn't you.
So you decided to start flashing those natural cut style, french fries of yours! Oh... let's not forget dressing them up so claddly in sea salt.

Well, freckle face! Let me tell you something. I think your daddy (Dave Thomas) would be embarrassed for you! That's right! Out right ashamed. You were known for those plank fries. They weren't skinny imitators like those other burger joints. You were a natural kid.

Now be a good girl. And get dressed back into your regular clothes. Before somebody sees you. Have you no shame?

 Okay... I'll stop with the fake Dear John/Wendy letter now. I can almost hear your sigh of relief. But I am serious. These fries are a real let down from their original fries.

I heard all kinds of complaining the day i was there. people were asking, "Can I still get your NORMAL fries?" The answer was a curt... "No. I'm sorry. These are now the only fries we carry".

By the way... THESE FRIES ARE NOT FRESH CUT! They are called "Natural Cut Style". The name probably is designed to make you think fresh. But they are still frozen fries.

And it seems that in an attempt to keep us from adding more salt, which these fries desperately needed, they've removed their usually available salt & pepper shakers from the tables.

It was amusing watching customers go to the condiment bar and grabbing handfuls of salt packets!

Has Wendy's has joined the Food Police Force now? really?
Wendy's?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and make a prediction here.... I believe we will see an end to these fries way before the end of this year. And then Wendy's will reintroduce their original french fries.  It's like New Coke & Original Coke all over again!

Don't take my word for it. Try Them Yourself. And then vote in my poll!
