“lol hope they’ll still take your return at Spirit Halloween after the stink of this tweet gets on the costume”
Dunkin’ made a jab at Wendy’s spicy nuggets. Wendy’s came back harder, mocking the brand name change and throwing in a burn about grandma’s cooking. Then they followed up with another insult comparing Dunkin’s tweet to a Halloween clearance bin. Two-for-one roast, delivered fast.

So you’ll still use frozen beef in MOST of your burgers in ALL of your restaurants? Asking for a friend.

Pookie looking absolutely fire
This tweet features a photo of a McDonald’s sign on fire, and Wendy’s sarcastically calls it “absolutely fire.” Referring to their rival as “Pookie” makes the jab even more absurd and casual. It’s the kind of roast that’s both subtle and over-the-top, and fans loved the contradiction of complimenting something that’s clearly a disaster.
16. Frozen Beef and Broken Machines
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1445105618357002243
“where the things that should be fresh are frozen, and the things that should be frozen are out of order.”
Wendy’s fired back at McDonald’s by highlighting two of their most well-known criticisms—frozen beef and ice cream machines that rarely work. In one line, they managed to push their fresh-beef message while mocking McDonald’s shortcomings. Simple, direct, and on-brand.
17. Roasting Gordon Ramsay on #NationalRoastDay
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1359988657097240576
“Creating a food empire off of insulting people to stay relevant? Real original, Gordon. #NationalRoastDay”
Wendy’s took a swipe at Gordon Ramsay by using a meme to call out their shared reputation for roasting people. It’s a funny self-aware moment, especially since Wendy’s essentially beat Ramsay to his own game on National Roast Day.

Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1847306069816594818
“When mom doesn’t stop for a Wendy’s Krabby Patty Kollab burger”
This tweet uses SpongeBob’s dramatic expression to capture the disappointment of missing out on a special food drop. It combines pop culture and brand promotion in a way that’s familiar and funny to fans, especially those who’ve begged for a drive-thru stop that never happened.
19. “Is It a Garbage Truck?”
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1220437845388730370
“Is it a garbage truck?”
After a user asked Wendy’s what they’d call a McDonald’s-themed van, the brand didn’t hold back. The answer? A garbage truck. It’s blunt, mean, and exactly what people expect from Wendy’s online persona—short and brutally honest.
20. RIP Egg McMuffin
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1233494419925585924
“Here lies mediocrity. #EggRIPMuffin”
Wendy’s declared the Egg McMuffin dead with a fake gravestone and a tagline that dismissed it as “mediocrity.” The joke lands because it’s so blunt, treating a fast food item like it deserved a funeral. A direct way to push their breakfast menu over the competition’s.
21. Cosmic Burnout Tweet
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1407742489528836099
“I am tired of lunch. These clowns. I am tired of people caught in the freezers of their beef.”
This bizarre tweet mixes brand snark with space-themed artwork. Wendy’s positions themselves as the weary overseer of the fast-food world, mocking frozen beef again while visually turning their mascot into a cosmic entity. It’s weird, but it got attention.
22. Wendy’s Emo Phase
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1459189091984150532
“Heard MySpace was back”
With a nod to the MySpace era, Wendy’s turned their logo into a 2000s emo kid. It’s exaggerated and over-the-top in a way that’s clearly for laughs, and it taps into the nostalgia people have for old internet trends. It’s a joke that sticks because it’s so visually on point.
23. Ground Control to Katy Perry
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1911933396550287524
“I kissed the ground and I liked it”
Wendy’s took a trending clip of Katy Perry kissing the ground post-spaceflight and gave it a sarcastic twist using her own song lyrics. It’s a quick joke that connects pop culture to the moment without overdoing it—just clever enough to stand out in the replies.
24. What Boss Thinks vs. Reality

“Freeze your meeting, not your burger. Download the Chrome extension to get back to the game faster.”
This tweet plays off the work-from-home struggle during March Madness. The meme speaks for itself, and Wendy’s adds a subtle promo that fits the joke. It’s casual marketing wrapped in a relatable moment of distraction.
25. Math Crisis: Squared Edition
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1874908984093876692
“how to type squared symbol on mac reddit”
Responding to a nerdy fact about 2025 being a perfect square, Wendy’s dropped a GIF that screams “confused but trying.” It’s a funny, self-deprecating nod to how most people would react to math trivia—by Googling how to type it instead.
26. Krabby Patty Patience Test
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1842315701081530795
“when wendy’s krabby patty kollab gets announced but you gotta wait til tuesday”
Wendy’s tapped into the universal pain of waiting with a SpongeBob meme that perfectly shows fan frustration. The humor comes from the exaggeration—using a panicked SpongeBob to capture the over-the-top hype for a burger drop. Simple, relatable, and on-brand.
27. Ice Cream Machine Shade
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1839768956812378574
This subtle tweet doesn’t need many words. A truck rolls through Chicago with a message clearly aimed at McDonald’s and their famously unreliable dessert machines. The post is passive-aggressive in the best way—minimal text, maximum effect.
28. “Same Idea, Worse Execution”
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1793796655512183145
“Stop taking the concept of a Biggie Bag and making it worse”
Wendy’s responded to Burger King’s new value meal by accusing them of copying—and downgrading—the Biggie Bag. It’s not a full rant, just a sharp comment that implies imitation with none of the quality.
29. Art Restoration, Fast Food Edition
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1787884953876705769
This tweet used a well-known meme to roast McDonald’s for its odd idea of McFlurry fries. Wendy’s compared the creation to the infamous art restoration fail—and the side-by-side made their point loud and clear without needing extra words.
30. Bigger Doesn’t Mean Better
Source: https://x.com/Wendys/status/1785760296335822857
“I’ll say it again”
When McDonald’s bragged about building their biggest burger ever, Wendy’s clapped back with a game-show-style jab. It’s a short, recycled meme—but the sarcasm hits because it’s paired with timing and context that makes the message clear: size isn’t everything.
Conclusion
Wendy’s has built a strong presence on social media by staying direct, consistent, and unapologetic. Their Twitter responses are fast, sharp, and often cut through the noise with clear intent. Whether it’s a playful joke, a competitive dig, or a reply to a fan, each post shows that they understand how to use humor as part of their brand strategy. These tweets highlight how Wendy’s continues to stand out by saying what other brands won’t.
