Wendy's Brand Transformation
As someone who used to make a habit of trying to "eat for the cycle"* at Wendy's with his high school buddies before basketball practice (where have the days gone when my metabolism was faster than this guy's?), I take a (probably) unnecessarily overprotective view of the brand.
