Here’s Nick Lachey Singing a Love Song to Wendy’s New Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger, For Reasons
As far as ‘90s boy band heartthrobs are concerned, Nick Lachey wasn’t high up on the adolescent food chain. I vaguely remember him being married to Jessica Simpson, but I also couldn’t name any 98 Degrees songs off the top of my head. So is it any wonder Wendy’s pinged Lachey – over, say, Justin Timberlake – to croon over its newest summertime menu offering, the Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger? Sadly, not really. But does that mean you’ll be any less jealous of a burger once you’re finished reading this post? Sadly, not really.
Wendy’s newest marketing campaign asked customers to tweet about the new burger using the tag “#PretzelLoveSongs”. Their brilliant lyrics (listed below) were then compiled into an ooey-gooey love ballad sung by the 98 Degrees frontman himself.
A short clip of Lachey’s soundcheck from a performance on Monday has made its way around the interwebs, reminding more than enough people why we ever cared about 98 Degrees in the first place.
Check out some of our favorite #PretzelLoveSongs lyrics and the soundcheck video below, and try not to secretly wish you were a burger right now, because swoon.
I just wish i could have a bite. It makes my smile shine soooo bright! #PretzelLoveSongs
