Wendy’s & ‘Wednesday’ Team Up For A Sinister Collab

Fast food is the way to many people’s hearts, especially when it involves fries and a milkshake. Companies are starting to take notice of the trend of customers taking interest in certain menu items because an influencer recommended it, or it is inspired by a television show or movie. Just in the last two weeks, some Love Island fans were enamored with Jeremiah’s Chipotle burrito and Taylor and Clarke’s meal deal with Arby’s. As for the Arby’s collab, some people who weren’t exactly fans of the chain said that they were willing to try it again because of the company’s partnership with the two season 7 Islanders.

Collabs seem to be the name of the game, and last year, Wendy’s broke the fourth wall and added limited-time Krabby Patties to their menu alongside the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty. In an effort to promote season two airing in August, Netflix’s Wednesday is partnering with Wendy’s to introduce their Meal of Misfortune. Here’s what you need to know about the not-so-happy meal.

What is in Wendy’s X Wednesday Meal of Misfortune?

Wednesday dropped its first eight episodes in 2022 and centers around 15-year-old Wednesday Adams navigating her psychic abilities while also juggling classes as a Nevermore Academy student. You know, regular school day worries. 

After nearly three years of waiting for a second season, fans will be fed with a meal and a show. Similar to Wendy’s X Spongebob meal, Wednesday’s Meal of Misfortune deal offers a full course with a dessert included. 

This ‘misfortunate’ spread features “Rest in 10-Piece” Nuggets, small “Cursed & Crispy” Fries, and a small “Raven’s Blood” Frosty with dark cherry swirl. Customers will also get a chance to dip their nuggets and fries into one of the four inferno-inspired mystery sauces marketed as the “Dips of Dread.” Each meal will have two of the four secret dips in their meal with fate coming into play to determine which two a customer will receive. 

Wednesday’s feast is marketed as being for those brave enough to place their destiny in the hands of Wendy’s. A game of sauce roulette is guaranteed to be played when ordering this meal, so order at your own risk if you’re open to being surprised by the fast food chain.

Fans of the show will have to wait a little longer for season 2’s episodes to release, but are in luck because Wednesday’s Meal of Misfortune will be available for purchase at Wendy’s restaurants and the app nationwide beginning Monday, August 4. This timeline gives watchers two days to prepare their tastebuds and psychic abilities to return to Nevermore for the show’s premiere on August 6.
