'Wednesday'-themed Meal of Misfortune available at Wendy's: See what's in it
- Wendy's "Meal of Misfortune" includes nuggets, fries, a Raven's Blood Frosty, and four mystery "Dips of Dread".
- Available in U.S. restaurants and via the app starting August 4th, and in Canada starting August 11th.
Wendy's has teamed up with hit Netflix show "Wednesday" on a new meal the chain calls "pure punishment in a bag."
The limited-time meal, unveiled on – you guessed it – Wednesday, July 23, 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, called the "Meal of Misfortune," will coincide with the release of Season 2 of "Wednesday" on Netflix. The show will be in two parts. Part 1 will premiere on Aug. 6 at 3 a.m. ET and Part 2 will be available on Sept. 3 at 3 a.m. ET.
When and where can I get the 'Wednesday' meal?
The items will be 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.
The fast-food chain 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."
The meal has already gone viral as fans took to social media to chronicle their journey of waiting in line for hours for the meal at a restaurant in Norwalk, California, which held a special drive-thru event last week.
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.
