I tried a baconator once 15+ years ago in the US. It was advertised as having 10 rashers of bacon on it! I had to know for myself. I obviously bought fries and their signature Frosty (thickshake) too to get the full experience.

I learnt three things that day:

  1. Americans call the streaky bacon bit a rasher. So they're about 3cm by 10cm, so not as hedonistic as imagined.
  2. a manufactured food that is 1/3 fat has a surprising amount of structural integrity.
  3. people dip their fries in their thickshakes.

I only ate salad for days afterwards. We really don't need Wendy's or even just another shit-tier burger place like them.

People who do number 3 should be rounded up and executed.

Ohh man you're missing out on a great taste experience, the saltiness the chips pairs well with the sweet and creamy flavour of a milkshake, dipping chips in soft serve icecream is a great treat as well, especially if you get some of that fudge syrup.

Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad for having it.

Fair enough, each to their own.
