Flashback: Wendy's Training Video
This almost makes me want to go back to the '80s to work at Wendy's fast food restaurant. Apparently, on your first day, a rapping apparition comes out of the microwave sporting white shades, a sparkly polo shirt and a supah-dupah fly attitude about how "The reason you have to press/is when the meat hits the grill it starts to shrink!" Even the beef patties get in on the rapping action!
NAARP Protests Wendy's Logo
Improv Everywhere thought it would be funny to gather a gang of redheads, call them the National Association for the Advancement of Red-Haired People, and protest the Wendy's logo. Their stance was that the freakish looking little girl in the logo ("Wendy") unfairly depicts red-headed people as always freckled with chalky white complexions and funny pig tails. Ughh, guys...this isn't discrimination.
Ain't That the Tooth?
Some people have a sweet tooth, but this dude has a ranch tooth. How can he tell? Because he's constantly being followed by a giant tooth wearing a cowboy hat.
Flashback: Wendy's Training Music Vid
The '80s marked the launch and rise of MTV, so it's no surprise that Wendy's used a music video to train their new employees back in the day. The vid is surprisingly informative, despite the distraction of singing meat patties and the use of a spatula as an electric guitar. The rapping is awful-ly good, but why is this charbroiled bozo wearing sequins in the kitchen?

"But then Oprah came on the scene. She wasn’t beautiful. She wasn’t thin.
Quip Stop: Wendy Liebman
I went to the 30th reunion of my preschool. I didn't want to go, because I've put on like a hundred pounds.
"Where's the Beef?"
The commercial that made old, cranky people seem cool. Clara Peller's infamous "Where's the beef?" question for Wendy's was even used by politicians to question each others' substance.
Single Ladies: Happies vs. Crappies
There's nothing wrong with being single, so why not embrace it? Just be careful about how you embrace it, argues Wendy Atterberry in a column titled Do Some Single Women Need to Shut Up?
After reading Lea Lane's inspired Huffington Post piece entitled Why I'm Alone, Atterberry applauds a single woman who relishes her independence.
You Asked: Is It Too Soon to Fall in Love?
Dear Sugar,
I've been talking to a guy for a little over two months now. Things have been going great, but I'm away at law school so most of our conversations are limited to text messages and phone calls. We've had one visit since we met and plan on another one in the near future.
