Wendy’s is telling everybody that to celebrate National Bacon Day, which is today, they have this great deal whereby you can buy a 1¢ Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger from December 26, 2023, to January 2, 2024.

Here’s the kicker, though, folks. You don’t get to spend just a penny at Wendy’s. You have to pull up the Wendy’s app and buy another burger, French fries, and or coke in order to spend a penny on a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger.

For their part, Wendy’s will tell you some mess like, “A Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger cost over $2.00; whereas the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger Biggie Bag meal cost over $7.00. The Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger Biggie Bag meal has the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, fries, nuggets, and a drink. So, you’re getting a deal by spending just a penny on a $2.00 plus burger.”

Folks, you ain’t getting a deal. In order to spend that penny, you have to spend over 200 pennies. It’s all about profit. Wendy’s knows that they can’t make a profit if they sell one cent Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers.

Think about it! In order to make $1,000,000 off their 1¢ Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, Wendy’s will have to sell 100,000,000 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers. And that ain’t happenin’ capt’n! Wendy’s got a lot of competition from McDonald’s, Five Guys, to your mama’s kitchen that is keeping Wendy’s from making a profit off of just selling those 1¢ Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers.

Mm-hmm, spend your 200 plus pennies on something like, the Powerball, which could lead to you getting a lot of “bacon” on National Bacon Day!

As John Crow on Georgia Lottery says, “Today could be the day!”
