This seemed a bit too quirky to bother posting, but there's an absolutely amazing reduction of what Wendy's does, and I had to share it.

Wendy's is a fast-food chain, predominantly found in the US, with a few scattered locations elsewhere around the world. It is notable for serving square hamburger patties in round buns, and a few examples of the company's goods can be glimpsed in the menu – the "Baconator" sounds particularly alluring.

And the Baconator is alluring ... at 2018 pricing.

As I recall, Boston market had decent bacon, but it's been forever since I've been.

It's been forever on account of them closing down almost all their stores. The rate of expansion circa 1996 was absurd. We were cannibalizing our own customer base by opening up a new one a few miles away. There's only so much demand for rotisserie chicken when you're charging twice what Costco does.
