The Issue

Wendy’s hamburgers used to have some kind of edge-to-edge goodness—so much so, that my only fear was biting my tongue while trying to eat one. I would find myself going to Wendy’s 2-3 times per week, indulging in their mouth-watering hamburgers and French fries. But ever since they changed their recipe, my visits have dwindled to a mere 1-3 times a year, and even then, I never finish the burger anymore. The fries are the same way. Why? Who likes this? Everyone I ask agrees that something essential has been lost. 

With the rising costs of food, it only makes sense to return to what worked best: Dave Thomas' original formula. The original recipes were beloved by many, creating a loyal and enthusiastic customer base. Going back to the original recipe could not only satisfy nostalgic cravings but also rejuvenate Wendy's customer loyalty and boost sales as fast food prices continue to climb.

According to industry reports, the food-on-the-go segment is projected to increase by 3.7% annually, yet customers nationwide have voiced their dissatisfaction with the current offerings. A Twitter poll on revisiting the original Wendy’s recipes received thousands of responses, with 80% in favor of going back to the taste they grew up loving. Clearly, there’s a strong demand for a taste revival. 

We have a simple request: bring back the flavors that made Wendy’s the favorite it once was. Join us in asking Wendy’s to revisit the recipes that brought smiles and satisfied cravings for years. Sign this petition to revive the old Wendy’s favorites and restore the brand to its former savory glory.
