Why are wendy's hamburger patties square?

[Guest jimmy no nose]

That's really seemed strange to me for quite a while.  Seeing that it's in the forum description, I figured somebody would know.  Anyone?

[Guest KingOfMen]

Because Wendy's doesn't cut corners.  They said it, I didn't.

[Guest netslob]

.........

[Guest netslob]

so the customers get a SQUARE meal!!!!!!!

 

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAA!!!!

Here's the story I heard way back when I was a poor black child in the year 1863...

 

Originally, Wendy's was a chain of baseball themed restaurants.  I think Ted Williams had something to do with it.  Anyways, the patties are shaped like a baseball diamond.  That's also why they have the single, double, and triple burgers.  Why no home run though?  A 4 pattied hamburger would rule!  And give you a heart attack!  COOL!

Dammit, it's because he doesn't cut the fucking corners.

 

Sheesh...

[Guest Shaved Bear]

i always thought so they can put the burgers on the cooking thing most efficiently

[Guest DrEvil]

>>Because they don't cut corners

>>So you get a square meal

Those are horrible, LMAO :D

 

I actually heard once that it was for transportation.  Square patties fit better into boxes, thus taking up less space.

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

It is b/c Wendy's does not cut corners. Period. Thread over. Goodbye. Nice to know you.

[Guest Army Eye]

oops.. ignore

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

I wanna know why Wendy's burgers are always squashed.  Its like they sit on them before they hand them to me.  Always. No matter which city I go to.

Exactly. It was founder Dave Thomas way of showing and reminding all his workers to do the job the right way.

 

BTW, this is a really old thread. It's funny looking at some of the names of posters that aren't here any more.

You bumped this thread to make a joke that someone else in the thread already made. Over two years ago.

You're missing the subtlety of the joke.

They do have a 4 patty burger, and it is called a Grand Slam burger.

[Hoff 0]

Yikes. I eat babies and I'm not even sure I could handle that much burger.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

They should call it "The Colectomy Burger" since that's what you'll need immediately after eating one.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

A square burger isn't as thick and has more surface area than a circular burger of the same weight (think 1/4 lb), thus it cooks faster.

[Hoff 0]

That would depend on the surface area and thickness, though, not the shape. For instance, if you made a 1/4 pound circular burger a half a millimeter thick, that fucker would go from bloody to burnt in no time. Hell, if you made a three pound burger in the shape of a star, but made it a half a millimeter thick, it'll cook just as fast.

Two posters made that same joke before he did.

 

I'll get the pitchforks...

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

So why are the buns still round?

[Guest Fook]

Maybe Wendy's actually DOES cut corners.

[DerangedHermit 0]

You want a burger ask for their Double Grand Slam. 8 greasy nasty patties and cheese. I had to take 2 patties out just to fit it in my mouth

Geez.......and I thought I was a pig

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

You're a fat bitch.

so, I guess that means I won't ask you to deep-throat.

 

I'm sure I could handle the Cardiac burger. Aww yeah.

[Guest Sylvan Grenier]

Parce que ils ne coupent pas les coins.

I enjoy fast food, but only eat chicken at Wendy's. I can pig out on unhealthy shit like anyone else, but even the single burgers at Wendy's are just too goddamn greasy.

 

When the tinfoil-covered wrapper is annihilated by the grease inside, it's time to cross the parking lot to Jack In The Box.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Oh man, the last time I ate at Wendy's the grease dripped through the wrapper and stained my pants. That's when I knew I should be going to the local supermarket for healthier lunchtime alternatives...
