Wendy's is getting rid of its Biggie-size. What this means is two things: (1) Future generations will not be able to understand the
best piece in Joe Wenderoth's
Letters to Wendy's (
blogged). (2) People are going to be getting a truly disgusting amount of soda from Wendy's.
At rival McDonald's Corp., the largest burger chain, a 32 ounce soft drink is designated a large. At Wendy's, a 32 ounce drink will now be called medium, instead of Biggie.
Wendy's is also adding a 42-ounce soft drink -- the equivalent of 3-1/2 cans of soda -- as its large. The large drink will come in a more durable, portable plastic cup that fits in a car cup holder for diners on-the-go.
One wonders, not about the person who orders a 42-ounce soft drink, but about what it is that holds us back.
