Wendy's unveils Wednesday-themed 'Meal of Misfortune': When you can get it
Wendy's has announced a new meal in collaboration with the hit Netflix show "Wednesday" that the restaurant chain calls "pure punishment in a bag."
The company unveiled on – you guessed it – Wednesday, July 23, the Wendy's Wednesday Meal of Misfortune.
The limited-time meal is centered around four mystery sauces called the "Dips of Dread," along with "Rest in 10-Piece" nuggets, small "Cursed & Crispy" fries, and a new Frosty flavor called "Raven's Blood." The items will all be served in custom packaging, according to Wendy's.
The meal will coincide with the release of Season 2 of "Wednesday" that will premiere on Netflix. The show will be in two parts. Part 1 will debut Aug. 6 at 3 a.m. ET and Part 2 will premiere Sept. 3 at 3 a.m. ET.
When will the Wednesday meal be available?
The items will be available at restaurants and via the Wendy's app nationwide beginning Monday, Aug. 4, according to Wendy's. In Canada, customers can get the meal in restaurants or via the Wendy's app starting Monday, Aug. 11.
Will the Wednesday meal be available at all Wendy's locations?
The company said the Meal of Misfortune will also be available at Wendy's locations in Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Guam.
"Wendy's and Wednesday are both cultural icons famous for challenging convention with wit and a bit of sass," said Liz Geraghty, international chief marketing officer for The Wendy's Company, in a news release. "This isn't a typical collaboration, because not just any brand could scheme up a Meal of Misfortune with Wednesday Addams. But for a brand that's proudly customer-obsessed and unapologetically bold, it was a match made in dark, dry-witted heaven."
What kinds of sauces are the 'Dips of Dread'?
Wendy's said two mystery dipping sauces come in each meal, adding that "fate will decide which of the four dips" customers receive.
The four flavors are called:
- You Can't Hyde
- This Will Sting
- Grave Mistake
- Nowhere to Woe
"Don't bother asking which sauce you'll get – you must surrender to your destiny. Those brave enough to try them all must endure multiple visits," Wendy's said in the news release.
This story was updated to reflect that the "Meal of Misfortune" will be available in the Wendy's app and in restaurants on Aug. 4. A previous version of the story said the meal would be available in the app on Aug. 6.
