Thanks for all the thought-provoking (and , as usual, witty/funny) comments. It’s true that fast food really doesn’t need to be advertised, but, like heather said, it sells. Also, heather, i must say, I secretly high fived you when I read about fish sauce in a vegan’s food. So mean…I know. When I worked at a coffee shop in my early 20′s, I used to give all the skinny, over-tanned (and snotty) chicks who ordered skinny lattes, full fat ones. I’m bad, I know. But sometimes it felt good. Plus, they’d drink it and be happy.

ha, i was just having this discussion with a friend of mine. they think because they serve a baked potato and a fruit cup that they are not fast food? uuummm didn’t you pick that up, while sitting on your ass in your car at a drive thru window with 4 tubs of sour cream to go on it? I dislike wendy’s even more, when they had Cydnee (remember that girl from UM tour) in their commercials. she is the most superficial “healthy” B*#@h, who would never eat at Wendy’s in real life, but on their commercial with a smile handing over a burger. please!!
They need a new Marketing campaign.

I never understood their fresh never frozen claims (or whatever the slogan is). I mean honestly….how? I just don’t buy it.

I do love crappy fast food, and frequently think that Wendy’s chili on a baked potato or French fries sounds like Win (because of the ads), but I can’t NOT think of a bandaid or fingertip or whatever it was from a year or two ago. Besides, we have a Burgerville like ten blocks from us. Sustainable, local fast food is where it’s at.

We don’t need sex to be advertised either, but lord knows that sells.

all food advertising makes me irritated, if not outraged. Think about for a minute – we don’t NEED *food* to be advertised. We certainly don’t *need* processed and prepared foods to be advertised.

Really, it’s pretty insane, and I suspect that we’d all be a lot better off if we could ban all food advertising

Found you through http://becomingafoodie.blogspot.com/….
Luckily, food advertising is the least effective form of advertising there is. The ad has little to nothing to do with you actually deciding to eat there.
Besides – I constantly wonder how you wouldn’t wonder what is in Wendy’s food. I’m still trying to figure out how they don’t freeze their burgers. I’d rather them be frozen then shipped from somewhere sitting out in the sweltering heat of a truck into the sweltering heat of the back kitchen. O_o…..
In short, yes, is GREATLY irritates me.
