Wendy's has slowly gone to hell since 'Dave' died (rip).
it used to operate > 0.5 standard deviations above the McDs/BK/Taco Bell/White Castle tier fast food places, similar to Chick-Fil-A. now it is as bad as Burger King generally. last time i went, the dining room was full of flies and vagrants.

doesnt everyone get the bacon cheeseburger thing? i doubt the chefs even know how to make the "daves double" properly, having just been released from prison

The burgers have been dry every time I've tried them for the last decade or so. The fries have been terrible since they changed them 15 years ago or so. And the frosty has a chemical taste I don't remember from my youth. Used to love that place. Sad!

I remained a Wendy's loyalist for years, in the face of mounting evidence that it had become a festering TTT in steep decline, from a deep well of good will from earlier times when a Dave's Double was a legitimately excellent hamburger.
BUT NO MORE! Wendy's is done. Today's "burgers" have little in common with yesterday's. They are soggy, low grade, flavorless yet sweet, garbage made with garbage ingredients. For shame!

I have finally admitted this to myself. I used to love Wendy's and I didn't want to admit that I was operating on fading memories of its former glories.

i'll get wendys today and report back on how it is. haven't had fast food in a while
one thing about fast food is that it is insanely salty. if you eat it fairly often you don't notice it, but if you never normally get it, it's kind of overwhelming. i'm not sure how "unhealthy" fast food even is, other than the absurd amount of salt in it. that can't be good for you

Tbf this is every American chain restaurant now
I had a late night Denny's breakfast for dinner the other night and maybe it was because I was sober for it but I noticed that the bacon was like a salt lick and the hash browns/home fries weren't much better

yeah, you get insanely thirsty when you eat out or eat fast food. everything seems to have so much salt (and maybe other chemicals/seasoning?) that makes you really thirsty
i read a year or two ago about how the high salt levels in fast food force your body to retain more water to keep the salt levels in your body at the same dilution as normal, and this makes you appear bloated in the face for a couple days. i tested it and i did notice it. then you have to piss extra afterwards to get rid of all the extra water
