Wendy’s has had this pretzel pub burger and chicken sandwich before, hasn’t she? I’m pretty certain I’ve had it at some point, and I wasn’t in love with it.

I’m even more certain I’m going to try it again and be instantly whisked to the last time I had it and be really upset with paying that much for like a 6.2 double burger. The 2 spicys I down with it will make up for it I hope.

I'm currently on a Taco Bell/Wendy's DUAL boycott so I made my own, better!, tostadas, and a taco or three to wash them down:







and then loaded up the Popeye's app for 6 sandwiches, 3 of each





I even used your taco sauce, *****! Making crunchwraps tomorrow too, Taco *****!

What exactly is going on in that last pic? Looks like you just took the chicken and sauced it up.


I had homemade tacos tonight too. Probably need to fire up a couple more.


Also really want a Popeye's sandwich and that pretzel burger. Appetite rages, sigh. And there's an untouched birthday cake in the fridge too. Sigh.


Edit: actually I think I see the bottom bun there.

Can you beat TBs value proposition 27

I can

My man!

Why you boycotting TB? Did I miss something

I will happily do a haggis taco TR, 27, but which menu did you see it on?

God they better have a whisky sauce option instead of salsa. Epic.

Don't mind 27, he's just having some fun with u.

tbh I never would have guessed TB would have shipped across the Atlantic and anyone would eat it. But, I have found the TB UK menu! Advice for ordering:

for the love of God, DON'T ever order regular tacos from TB. They are a totally overpriced sucker item and one goes to TB for their other stuff.

Chalupas, crunch wraps & grillers are/were standard here (RIP grillers) and are fine to order.

Items that seem to be currently unique to TB UK that look intriguing (actually I'm mad we can't order these here):

- Volcano Burrito
- Crispy Chicken Soft Taco

TR would be appreciated if u go

Seriously? I'm actually a little bit disappointed. The idea of a haggis taco had grown on me in the last hour or so.

The crispy chicken soft taco sounds pretty good though. Right, will try and do a TR this weekend.

From the free box day fiasco. The app crashed all day, then they said they would make it right and even had a site dedicated to taking your info.

Then gave you a ****ing BETA LOOK at their new **** app and a free taco valid for a week or some dumb ****. F that noise.

Warning: the 2 for $5 spicy's is gone from my app. 'tis a sad day.

Oh ya dam that was a while ago too

I'm boycotting TB because they got rid if all the good items and they are ****s

UK has Volcano sauce, im boycotting too.

Was taking a piss and saw this sheet sticking out the garbage can! Old lady indiscriminately tossing coupons, grrrr.

I had a light and sensible breakfast, but gonna need to HAMMER at some point. Those steakhouse burgers are in play, I'm severely overdue for Popeye's sandwiches. And of course Wendy wants me to eat her pretzel.

Has anyone ever taken in 100 coupons and demanded their penny?

I'm saving up until I have a million of them that I can turn into a crisp new Benjamin!

Stay strong my brothers.


To anyone else wondering why we should boycott TB:

- New CEO has been constantly slashing items left and right. Started with Double Tacos back at the beginning of the year. These are not tiny removals, TB mainstays like the 7 layer burrito, potato taco, tostadas, triple layer nachos, and mexican pizza are gone forever.

- Speaking of the beginning of the year, they had this whole "commitment to vegetarians" ad push. But then come summer, they remove a bunch of veggie favorite items from the menu (and potatoes altogether).

- All this menu slashing results in the value menu only having two items that actually cost a dollar, one is the limited time DSTs and the other is ****ing cinnamon twists

- The "free item" app fiasco that 27o detailed, it was clearly just a ploy to get everyone to download the app. They never intended on giving away very many $5 boxes. They barely tried to make up for it.

- Speaking of the mobile app, they're doing dumb stuff now like removing the Quesorito BUT you can still order it via the app. Sounds OK, until you realize you literally can't order it in-store or via drive-thru. It's strictly app only.

- They are clearly trying to simplify the menu to the bare essentials, all supposedly in the name of "wait times." (I've never had a wait time issue at TB, have you?)

- Having odd, taco-based creations is what really makes TB shine. Now that the whole menu is basically burritos and tacos, what's the point? You can find better versions of these almost anywhere.

- Beefy Fritos Burritos is replaced by the Beefy Burrito, which has less stuff but costs more (in many places)


That said, let's take a look toward the future of TB:

tl;dr my boycott continues

Woah woah woah this is the first Im hearing the Mexican pizza is going...

Alright I'm in on the boycott.

It's a sad day, TB was my go to... When I'm craving ff I just don't want burgers most of the time.

Oh well.

It's mind boggling that they're still removing stuff.

No more pico de gallo, which means Freso style is dead.

No more SHREDDED CHICKEN, like wtf?

Even less vegetarian options? Their official response seems to be, "**** you, put beans in it."

whatthe j fish,

Saw an article I almost posted here that layed out the master plan of this new CEO: They want to shrink the overall footprint of the actual b&m, as well as the employee footprint required to get it out the door.

All that stuff you listed is geared towards getting smaller physically. The algorithms have spoken.

They got rid of the pizza because of the paper biodegradable box?? Idiots!

And why futz around with the green sauce? The old stuff was fine. They must be looking for a cheaper substitute. Eff that, charge me a friggin nickel for the old green sauce, just bring it back.

I understand this, but it's idiotic.

They're seeing the success of other FF/FC places with rigid menus and trying to replicate it. Their new CEO used to run Chipotle, and is basically morphing TB into that style of restaurant-- grab and go. COVID is a convenient excuse to start rushing this change through, while focusing on drive-thrus.

The reason this is stupid is because TB's whole shtick is having a combination of old favorites and wacky LTOs. Not to mention, if they *really* want to shift to the likes of Chipotle or CFA (places with 10-12 ingredients), then they need to seriously step up the basic quality of their ingredients. Perhaps they will get there through some growing pains, but for the time being it's only going to result in less variety for more $$$.

I used to be ride-or-die for the Bell! These are sad days.

Edit: To summarize, all the unique things about TB...
- best value menu in the game
- Interesting LTOs to try out alongside old favorites
- Vegetarian/Vegan haven

...have been reduced to nominal products with increasing prices, that other places do better.

Let me google that for you...

Complain here.
