    Long story short:

    Both: you need a degree in chemistry to understand/say the ingredients

      My big knock on this show is they do a bad job of explaining that often the ingredients are more similar than implied. The US labeling requirements are stricter, so they bundle ingredients less and elaborate more.

Value or junior depending on what you call it (for the 4 for 4). And lastly the kids size (for the kids meals) it’s the little white cup used for small frosties.

    This actually made me want to go to Wendy's again, so I looked at their menu and saw some really good specials. Now I haven't went there in over a year since the last 4 times I went before that they didn't have the specials at my local one (this was even before Covid) and when I went in again today, they were out of the specials. I give up. This was a good store locally until a new franchise owner took over about 4 years ago in my area and since then they never have the specials.

But at the same time I find this very interesting and informative. ( at the time I am watching this it is 2 am and there is no food in the house other than cinnamon toast crunch and I already had 2 bowls an hour ago and I can't bear to eat another) If someone can relate to my dilemma please tell me how you put up with this, and mabye send me a large bag of takis or doritos so I can deal with this problem.

    I don't eat much fast food anymore but since I am from the same hometown as Wendy's they were our go-to place as a kid in the 70s and 80s. When you said "something called hot chili seasoning" it immediately took me back to childhood. Of course back then their menu was much smaller, but when we got chili we always got those packets of hot sauce to go with it. I'd sneak an extra one or 2 to put on a burger if I could. Wendy's might have been the first fast food place to have a sauce other than ketchup, now that I think of it.
