Wendy's 60th Anniversary? Not Even Close!

By , About.com GuideOctober 20, 2008

Follow me on:

A new variant of the In-N-Out Burger 60th anniversary hoax claims that another company, Wendy's, will be selling 25-cent burgers during its 60th anniversary celebration on October 22:
Wendy's 60th Anniversary 10-22

Sharing, just in case you know someone that likes Wendy's

60th Year Anniversary is Wednesday, October 22nd.

All hamburgers will be sold for 25 cents, Cheeseburgers 30 cents, Fries 15 cents, and drinks are 10 cents!!! So, mark your calendars!
There's just one little problem. The first Wendy's restaurant opened on November 15, 1969, which means that Wendy's is neither 60 years old, nor does its anniversary fall on October 22.

Hoaxed again!

Many in our office of 21 were going to go to Wendy’s when our manager decided to call and confirm. OPPS. good thing we didn’t. Only if I had checked here first many of our staff might not have forward the email to friends and family.

A co-workers husband called her from SC and told her that he got a burger for 25 cents and a coke for 10 cents. Hoax or no, he got a deal!
