Wendy\u2019s appears to call out other fast food chains for $5 value meals in new ad campaign Wendy’sWendy\u2019s looks to have thrown some serious shade at other fast food chains in their most recent ad campaign. The TV advert, which dropped on June 24, 2024 focuses around their $5 Biggie Bag, which has been around since 2019. With fast food inflation rising exponentially in 2024, many chains like McDonald\u2019s and KFC have launched $5 value meals, but Wendy\u2019s is here to remind you that they did it first. The ad, which shows a $5 Biggie Bag meal featuring a Wendy\u2019s hamburger, fries, and a cola, has a voiceover that states: \u201cIt kinda feels like everybody\u2019s trying to copy the $5 Biggie Bag.\u201d \u201cSo how can you spot a knockoff? Uhm, it won\u2019t taste like Wendy\u2019s.\u201d The ad then goes on to say, \u201cThis job is easy,\u201d appearing to state that there\u2019s no competition for Wendy\u2019s. The value meals that have been dropping recently are numerous, so much so that we even ranked all of them. From McDonald\u2019s $5 meal to Jack in the Box\u2019s munchies under $4, fast food chains are racing to gain back customers since studies found that nearly 80% of American citizens see fast food as a luxury item in 2024. Wendy\u2019s did technically do it first. Their Biggie Bag has always been $5, and unlike some other chains, is a permanent menu feature. The Biggie Bag features the choice of a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger or Crispy Chicken Sandwich paired with a 4-piece nugget, one Jr. fries and a small soft drink. Since June 20, customers have been able to add a small frosty too, free of charge. People in the comments were very amused by this call out from Wendy\u2019s, with someone commenting, \u201cFast food chains beefing has to be the funniest beef.\u201d Another seemed to think that this ad was firing shots specifically at McDonald\u2019s, saying: \u201cI started dying because I knew exactly who they were talking about.\u201d and another simply saying, \u201cWendy\u2019s ate.\u201d People claim to agree with the ad, stating that Wendy\u2019s does taste better, and that you can upsize the drink and fries for a small extra fee. However, others were mentioning that a biggie bag cost $7-8 depending on what state they lived in. If you\u2019re still on the hunt for fast food bargains, Burger King is giving away free burgers every Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
