Great, the future of obesity is looking promising.

Chow down chubby.

I'm not a BIG fast food dan, but of all the fast food joints those are my two favs. It will be interesting to see if Arbys drasticly changes Wendys menu to make them more profitable. Or possibly he bought Wendys to reconfigure and expand as one new ultra fast food destination.

I always thought Arbys was over priced for the food.

Yea Arbys is way overpiced, but out of all the fastfood its prob one of the better ones. Atleast the food isnt made up of low grade cow shit filled meat like Mcdonalds is.

Watch FastFood Nation sometime, will make u think twice about eating those shit filled hamburgers

i guess a wendys single meal will cost you about $7.00

No, Wendys is more popular than Arby's. It will be $14.00.

Hopefully they will do something with the Wendys on Hendersonville rd. in front of Hollywood cinemas. Every time I have stopped there the food was bad and not correct. The fries tasted stale and the burgers tasted like they had been sitting on the grill becoming jerky.

My wife accually made the mistake of calling to complain to the manager about it. She was told that since we went through the drive through and were not in the store it was our problem and she wouldn't even apologise for it.

Poor Dave must just be spinning in his grave at how far down his business has fallen.

People need to manage their expectations when it comes to fast food. The stuff literally kills you, so you can't be complaining about your triple cheese burger with bacon not having enough mayo on it!

C'mon people, put down the sack of fat and go get some exercise. You'll feel great in no time.

Instead, some people order some cheap slop (gruel) and expect it to be delicious and served in an instant. When that doesn't happen....you don't have the right to complain.

[duh huh]

used to be i would eat at arby's quite a bit but their food doesn't match their prices i bet i've eaten there once in the last year and do not plan on going back.

load hypodermic with artery clogging sludge, inject into arm. There. Easier and cheaper than eating fast food and doesn't do any more harm.

MMMMMMMM, sludge......just add extra salt to the fries because the salt will scour the fat out of the arteries.

Actually I eat at neither Wendy's or Arby's. I value my health too much. I guess sarcasm doesn't always translate well in Topix.

No I caught it!! I was just seconding that sarcasm by adding a little more insult to injury! Lol!

In my opinion this will probably help Wendy's. The company needs some direction and Keri Anderson wasn't it. Arby's will probably franchise over 1000 of the 1500 company stores to turn a quick profit. Maybe I'll get some decent Health insurance back...... can't get much worse.

And I understand that each bad visit people have at a Wendy's reflects on the Company, but a Bad manager is a Bad manager..be it Wendy's, Taco bell, McDonalds or where ever. Some of us run good clean stores that understand customers come first.

And as far as Mike and Lake....... Gas Prices are raising my blood pressure.

No offense intended...just don't believe fast food of any variety is healthy. I do hope you get some extra perks and benefits as a result this merger. Best of luck.

I have worked in a restaurant and know you have a tough job. I hope things work out for you.

The key is simple, moderation, you can eat anything you want, if you do it in moderation.
