Wendy's throws shade at IHOP. er. IHOB. I feel a "new Coke" vibe to the name change.




Not really afraid of the burgers from a place that decided pancakes were too hard.




Remember when you were like 7 and thought changing your name to Thunder BearSword would be super cool?
Like that, but our cheeseburgers are still better.

I think the whole purpose is to let people know that they serve lunch. Once people come in and order lunch, the name will quickly revert back.

I no longer eat beef burgers, but when I did, Wendy's made the best (the best today, but not as good as the common mom and pop burger that I could get growing up as a kid).

Compared to the other franchises, they were the best.
