Wendy’s Customers Are ‘Disappointed’ With Their New Breakfast Item: ‘Burger Kings Are WAY Better’

While Wendy’s does offer a breakfast menu, it seems that the chain is more praised on social media lately for their sandwiches, burgers, Frostys and french fries. The fast food giant launched a new item for breakfast back in August, the ‘Homestyle French Toast Sticks with Syrup Dip.’ While several publications have reported since then that the menu option is popular among some customers, online, it appears that many Wendy’s fans think Burger King‘s similar sticks are, as one fan recently tweeted, “WAY better.”

As noted by Eat This, Not That, in a recent Wendy’s company report, Wendy’s credited this very item with driving a “meaningful acceleration” in breakfast sales, and executives said that this sweet treat is even helping Wendy’s locations reach weekly sales that are close to the company’s goal of $3,000 in the mornings.

If you’d like to try the Wendy’s french toast sticks for yourself, the chain will be offering a special National French Toast Day deal, which is on November 28th.
