Specifically, you’ll earn 10 points per dollar on orders placed through the mobile app or when you scan the app’s QR code at a Wendy’s location.

  • Small Fry
  • Junior Cheeseburger Deluxe

  • Small Frosty
  • Small Seasoned Breakfast Potatoes

Wendy’s dunks on Xbox over missing campaign co-op in Halo Infinite

If you pay any attention to Halo Infinite, then you probably know that 343 Industries delayed the launch of the game’s campaign co-op mode. People are understandably upset about it since campaign co-op is considered a staple of the Halo series.

Fast-food restaurant and ruthless Twitter brand account Wendy’s managed to condense that anger into a six-word tweet at the Xbox Twitter account:

Oof, that’s going to leave a mark.

While I typically don’t care much for brand-on-brand action on social media, the Wendy’s tweet is actually kind of funny. As for why Xbox and Wendy’s are even interacting on Twitter, the Wendy’s account put out a call for people to get roasted for “#NationalRoastDay” and Xbox decided it was a good idea to participate.

Social media brand account shenanigans aside, Halo Infinite will get campaign co-op at some point, possibly May 2022 at the earliest. That’s a long way off for Halo fans who want to play through the campaign with friends.

Some players have even managed to glitch their way into co-op fun with friends, although it remains unclear how, exactly, it happened. Those who’ve tried replicating the glitch have broken their save files, however.

If you enjoy these brand interactions, the Wendy’s Twitter account has been roasting other brands too.

Forget the iPhone 13 — Wendy’s has a phone now

Wendy’s Canadian Twitter account has done what only a few tech giants have been able to accomplish in the past: it’s created a phone. Will it go the way of the Fire Phone, or is this the next iPhone?

No, I’m only kidding. The Wendy’s phone is just a reskinned Android phone of some kind, and it’s hard to tell what it actually looks like since a lot of the renders on Wendy’s website have a case on it.

From what we can see, there’s a three-camera array on the rear and a fingerprint sensor. While the product description says that the phone has front and rear cameras, the renders all core up the front-facing one, but I’d expect it to be a small hole punch or a notch.

MobileSryup has reached out to Wendy’s Canada for more information regarding the device.

On the software side of things, the phone has a digital assistant that responds to “Hey Wendy.” It’s unclear if this is proprietary Wendy’s software or if this is just a custom wake word for Alexa or some other voice assistant.

The only way to get this phone is to win one. To do this, you need to post a screenshot to Twitter saying something like, “Hey Wendy, give me a #Wendysphone” with the hashtag #Contest.

You can learn more on the official Wendy’s contest website.

Eva Longoria Slings Burgers at Wendy’s

The actress surprised customers at the Wendy’s restaurant in her hometown.  Longoria had worked at the eatery when she was a teenager, and was helping the chain with their Father’s Day Frosty campaign, reports FemaleFirst.
 
A Wendy’s customer said, "It was quite surreal to see a Hollywood star behind the counter but she was really friendly and fitted right in."
 
The Frosty campaign raises money for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program.  During the campaign, Wendy’s donates 50 cents from the sale of each Frosty to these two charities.
 
Eva Longoria was an employee at Wendy’s for three years, from 1991 until 1994.
