Is Wendy's still doing the sassy Twitter (now known as "X, formerly known as Twitter") schtick?

I believe it's called Ten now. X was too edgy.
It’s Threads, not better than mastodon but still better than Twitter, or at least I hope?
They mean twitter is called Ten, because X is 10.
...for context, Apple used to be very particular about pronouncing it “mack oh-as ten”. There is somewhat of a reason behind this, nobody will pronounce SuperBowl ⅩⅬⅧ as “eks-el-vee-triple-eye”.
It's Macintosh Oh-Ass Ex and I will never change.
I played enough fighting games to know it's "Cross".
My bad.
If you hate yourself, open threads. It’s 90% Wendy’s ads.
Yes! But now they’re also on Threads, I would’ve put this on Mastodon if they existed there
What the shit do they call "tweets" now?
Any name I think of sounds like an abomination from hell.
"Xeets"?
"Xits"?
"Musk droppings"?
Threads, social media for people who wish it was mostly Wendy’s ads.
Yeah it’s definitely bloated with companies just trying to act witty or like they’re people. Mastodon is infinitely better in that respect. Ive just been dumb trying to get more outreach for the social stuff I’ve been trying to do 😣
not counting tax I'll bet
$5.35 after taxes. I just want answers on why it’s wrong and Wendy’s will never answer me 🥲
In your county. Taxes here (Sacramento, California) are 8.75%
Not that we'd begrudge a few pennies from a Wendy's purchase.
You don't get to keep your 4 for $4 marketing when you raise it to $5. It smacks of capitalism desperation.
Yeah I’d be fine if it were just the tax, but literally marketing something one way and charging a 25% markup is just false advertising. Either change the name of the deal or change the price.
Am I petty for making such a fuss about $1, hell yeah, but is it annoying that “value” meals from every major fast food chain are going up while keeping the same name/title, absolutely
4 for $4*
*per menu item
So, is it that number 4 is supposed to be $4 or that you order 4 number 4's and only have to pay $4?
Haha sorry if the title is confusing. The meal is supposed to be those specific 4 items that you pay $4. Guess it would read more correctly as “4 for $4” but I was dumb and said for $5 since their pricing is deceptive. (Sorry if you’re just making a joke and it whooshed over my head 😅)
It's four for four fores for forever fours fore.
