...for context, Apple used to be very particular about pronouncing it “mack oh-as ten”. There is somewhat of a reason behind this, nobody will pronounce SuperBowl ⅩⅬⅧ as “eks-el-vee-triple-eye”.

I played enough fighting games to know it's "Cross".

If you hate yourself, open threads. It’s 90% Wendy’s ads.

To be honest this lemmy post is also a Wendy's ad.

[–] kismattic@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not my intention, I’m trying to make the point of not purchasing from them due to deceptive pricing but it is still essentially free marketing. Not sure how to bring it up without that being the case

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I think calling it an ad is a bit dishonest tbf. If you're of the mindset that all marketing is good marketing, then companies suddenly cannot be criticised because it's advertisement.

yes I have seen a meme and now I have a need to go to the nearwst Wendy's, gonna just walk there real quick however many thousand kms that is

[–] kismattic@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Yes! But now they’re also on Threads, I would’ve put this on Mastodon if they existed there

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 49 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Threads, social media for people who wish it was mostly Wendy’s ads.

[–] kismattic@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah it’s definitely bloated with companies just trying to act witty or like they’re people. Mastodon is infinitely better in that respect. Ive just been dumb trying to get more outreach for the social stuff I’ve been trying to do 😣

Wendy's in Japan is called "Fakkin"

That is all

not counting tax I'll bet

[–] kismattic@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago (2 children)

$5.35 after taxes. I just want answers on why it’s wrong and Wendy’s will never answer me 🥲

In your county. Taxes here (Sacramento, California) are 8.75%

Not that we'd begrudge a few pennies from a Wendy's purchase.

You don't get to keep your 4 for $4 marketing when you raise it to $5. It smacks of capitalism desperation.

[–] kismattic@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah I’d be fine if it were just the tax, but literally marketing something one way and charging a 25% markup is just false advertising. Either change the name of the deal or change the price.

Am I petty for making such a fuss about $1, hell yeah, but is it annoying that “value” meals from every major fast food chain are going up while keeping the same name/title, absolutely

[–] Masamune@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

4 for $4*

*per menu item

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

So, is it that number 4 is supposed to be $4 or that you order 4 number 4's and only have to pay $4?

[–] kismattic@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Haha sorry if the title is confusing. The meal is supposed to be those specific 4 items that you pay $4. Guess it would read more correctly as “4 for $4” but I was dumb and said for $5 since their pricing is deceptive. (Sorry if you’re just making a joke and it whooshed over my head 😅)

It's four for four fores for forever fours fore.
