Wendy’s Chocolate Chunk Chicken Frosty and Other April Foolishness

April 1st is an extremely hard day to take seriously in the news publishing industry. With so many actual press releases getting mixed in with equally convincing pranks coming in through our daily mailbox, it’s rather challenging to pick out the real from the fake. One of our favorite foodies, Nick, took April 1st to announce that his blog had been bought out by Wendy’s making our job that much harder today.

As part of the faux-buyout, the Wendy’s chain had asked him to create a “Bigger is Better” menu, which ended up churning out 4 items we actually wish existed, but unfortunately, do not. Of the four items that got the Bigger is Better treatment include a Spicy Nugget Garden Salad, Octo-Stack, The Heart Stopper and our personal favorite, The Chocolate Chunk Chicken Frosty (pictured above).

The Octo-Stack is a burger that climbs eight stories of junior hamburger patties topped with 7 layers of American cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions.

Created to appease the demographic of people who never know what to order when they get to the front of the fast food line. The Heart Stopper sandwich combines three of the chain’s most popular menu items, the Asiago Ranch Chicken Club, the Premium Fish Fillet Sandwich and the Bacon Deluxe Single.

Lastly on the menu, Nick felt that the traditional Wendy’s garden salad was too light to the taste and to the touch, so he mocked up a different version utilizing all-white meat chicken nuggets with three kinds of peppers and savory spices to help assist the croutons in adding flavor to an otherwise drab dish. Intro: Spicy Nugget Garden Salad.
