Where's the beef at now Wendy's??? (sure as heck ain't at Wendy's)

Last night we stopped at Wendy's to get burgers and me and mom got their Jr Bacon Cheeseburger with added lettuce, tomato and onion. I also got a small Frosty for me and one to bring home to dad. Well, surprise on the Frosties, they're in cups half the size the small Frosties used to be in, now they're in the size you would get in a kid's meal. And more expensive then they used to be. Doubled the price and halved the size. ::shakes head:::

But, it is still a lot better than what they did to the poor burgers. I find it so sad that the chain that skyrocketed the phrase "Where's the beef?" to household use has now started putting out hamburgers that, I kid you not, have a bun almost twice the size of the flattened little puny runt of a meat patty that is hidden inside.

There was a slice of cheese on it that while smaller than the cheese you get out of the Kraft cheese singles for making grilled cheese sandwiches was still a lot bigger than the hamburger patty. And the bacon? My gawd man! It was a couple of runts too. A pair of anemic looking bacon slices that were maybe an inch and a half long if they were extremely lucky and about as wide as a pencil. No joke, no exaggeration. My mom's burger just had one bacon strip on it and a little sliver that someone had to have been joking when they put it on there. I gave her my bacon saying; "It's not like there's enough I'd even taste it, at least it'll give you more." And the lettuce, I think they made salads from the good part and put the tough white section in the lettuce bin because that is what our burgers had on them. White chunks of lettuce ends from near the stalk.

So, yeah, Wendy's.... Where's the beef? And the bacon, and the lettuce, oh and the mayonnaise?? There was no mayonnaise or ketchup or, mustard or anything on them burgers, just a half of a patty worth of flattened down beef patty, an odd joke of an offering of bacon and white bad tasting lettuce. And when you add in that the tomato was a heel part and tough the best part of the burger was either the onion or the wrapper, I'm still not sure which.

I am sure I'll be going to Arby's for roast beef sandwiches from now on. Maybe not the one in Eagle River though, we went there one time and were told they had run out of beef. I guess the Wendy's in Eagle River chases people there to Arby's too.
