What happens when two iconic pig-tailed provocateurs join forces in the kitchen? They create a meal that is pure punishment in a bag: introducing the Wendy’s® x Wednesday™ Meal of Misfortune.
Designed by Wednesday Addams, the other pig-tailed outcast herself, the limited-time Meal of Misfortune is centered around the “Dips of Dread,” four inferno-inspired mystery sauces, along with “Rest in 10-Piece” Nuggets, small “Cursed & Crispy” Fries and a small “Raven’s Blood” Frosty®, all served in custom packaging only Wednesday could have devised.
Fans can grab their very own Meal of Misfortune just in time for the Wednesday Season 2 Part 1 premiere on Netflix on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
Speaking of misfortune… no one will escape the Dips of Dread unscathed. With two mystery dipping sauces in each meal, only fate will decide which of the four dips accompany each order. Don’t bother asking which sauce you’ll get – you must surrender to your destiny. Those brave enough to try them all must endure multiple visits.
- You Can’t Hyde: Believed to be a spicy ketchup.
- This Will Sting: Thought to be a hot honey garlic sauce.
- Grave Mistake: Likely a scorpion pepper sauce.
- Nowhere to Woe: Described as a spicy signature sauce.
Wayward souls can dip into the Raven’s Blood Frosty, complete with a “Spoon of Gloom”** and Wednesday-themed Frosty cups, perfect for seeing that delicious dark cherry swirl.
“Wendy’s and Wednesday are both cultural icons famous for challenging convention with wit and a bit of sass,” said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer, The Wendy’s Company. “This isn’t a typical collaboration, because not just any brand could scheme up a Meal of Misfortune with Wednesday Addams. But for a brand that’s proudly customer-obsessed and unapologetically bold, it was a match made in dark, dry-witted heaven.”
In addition to the Meal of Misfortune, U.S. fans have a chance to win $10,000 by helping Wendy dodge the perils of normalcy with an interactive game experience, “Escape from Wednesday’s Woe.” This gravity-defying adventure features treacherous traps, delicious Wendy’s x Wednesday treats and exclusive rewards and is available only in the U.S. Wendy’s app.***
“Normally I’d be against this kind of capitalistic corporate synergy,” said Wednesday Addams, Nevermore Academy student. “But when the fast-food-slinging pigtailed provocateur said I could do whatever I wanted to her customers, I couldn’t resist.”
