Wendy's Takis Meal
This is the first food review I've ever done and wow this one is a doozy. I think this requires a little backstory. I have not been regularly eating Wendy's, at least not like I used to back in Nebraska. It's been mostly In N' Out ever since I moved to my summer camp job. So I only decided to take a pilgimage to Wendy's when I had a friend from Spain with me, who had otherwise never had Wendys. When I arrived I had intended to get my usual order, a Spicy Chicken sandwich meal, lo lettuce, no tomato, extra mayo, extra pickles, chili cheese fries, and a Large Hi-C Fruit Punch. However this all changed when I saw a new item on the menu.
The Bullshit Meal.
I had to try this. I could only imagine how.. interesting the taste would be. So I ordered it, getting some judging glances from my friends, but nevertheless looking forward to the meal. Something else I think I should clarify is that I am not a fan of takis. It's not that I even particularly despise them, it's just the kind of chips I would never go out of my way to get. The lime flavor they have makes them very sour, and I know that's kind of the point with takis, but it's just not something I enjoy. I only got the meal out of my huge respect for Wendy's as a fast food company.
After a little while of waiting, my food had arrived, and god damn this meal is not a looker.
With the meal you get the takis chicken sandwich, takis fries, and a small bag of takis. My own choice of drink was Hi-C Fruit Punch, but I think with it being red it ended up unintentionally fitting the meal.
So first up was the sandwich. It had a spicy chicken fillet, small crushed takis, some lime flavor type cheese sauce on top, as well as just regular ol' cheese sauce. I took my first bite and was very underwhelmed. It wasn't even bad it was just so boring. It was barely spicy at all, it is basically what would happen if you put takis on a spicy chicken sandwich. It was the first time eating where I felt bad for the animal that had to die for this to be made. Can you imagine being born a chicken, living your life in some shitty farm in a cage packed like sardines, only to be killedand turned into a goddamn wendys takis sandwich. I would be pissed. Now when you're eating a chicken sandwich and these are your thoughts, obviously the sandwich is not that good. I give the sandwich a 5/10
Now onto those GOD DAMN FRIES. HOLY SHIT WHAT AN UNAPPETIZING LOOKING DISH. The presentation is awful. They basically just dump takis dust on top of the fries. It's not even mixed up when they hand it to you. You have to shake up the fries yourself. It's the stupidest shit ever.
And the TASTE. BLEGGH. It was spicy,but not in the fun way. More of in the way that its spicy enough to the point where I needed to drink liquids to get the taste out of my mouth. It's just the boring ass shitty ass takis flavor sprinkled on fries. I stopped eating them when I ran out of liquids to drown out the awful spicy sour taste. I did eventually finish them later in the day, and they're honestly better reheated. 4/10.
I'm not even gonna bother reviewing the takis bag. It's just normal takis, which you already know my feelings on. Overall the meal gets a 5/10. I'm really disappointed in Wendy's and this sandwich has definitely hurt their credibility with me in the future. Also #BringBackPertzelBaconPub.
