Get ready for an UNhappy meal.
We’re not in the Halloween season yet but it looks like Wendy’s is cooking something spooky. A leaked image surfaced online and it’s hinting at a new collab with Netflix’s very own Wednesday Addams. That’s right, a Wednesday-inspired meal might be on the way, and the clues are quite chilling!
Wendy’s dropped a chilling teaser for a Wednesday-inspired horror meal, and the Internet is already buzzing. The teaser was released a few weeks before the new season hits Netflix. Based on the poster, it looks like the new meal will drop nationwide starting August 4. Meanwhile, Wednesday’s season 2 will premiere on August 6.
So what’s inside the Wednesday-themed meal? Exact items are still under wraps but the entire meal setup evokes a Happy Meal kind of vibe, except it has a grim twist. So, yes, feel free to call it an Unhappy Meal. 😂 Kidding aside, Wendy’s is also marketing the new meal with the tagline “Pain is my recipe.” So, expect a meal that’s like a punishment in a bag.
What about rumored items from the Wednesday-inspired meal? We got you. According to this Reddit post, the rumored collab meal is dubbed “Wednesday’s Meal of Misfortune,” featuring 10 pieces of chicken nuggets, new mystery sauces, a small fry, and a small frosty in a new flavor. Whether these are all true, we’ll find out on August 4! Stay tuned for more updates on this meal collab.
