Our Heroes STOP THE STEAL of Wendy’s Pretzel Pub

In a viral social media campaign dubbed '100% Eat', the podcast team rallied their audience to save the Pretzel Pub Burger from being permanently retired by Wendy's. What began as a seemingly innocuous online bracket titled 'Bring It Back Bracket' quickly revealed itself as a marketing ploy, with Wendy's favoring yellow packaging over the beloved Pretzel Pub. The hosts expose the suspiciously close 50.4% to 49.6% vote margin in the final round, which they believe was manipulated. Through coordinated efforts on Discord and social media, the 100% Eat community flooded the vote, overwhelming Wendy's bot-driven strategy and forcing a reversal. The final result saw the Pretzel Pub Burger declared the winner, leading Wendy's to backtrack and announce the return of both the burger and yellow packaging. The episode celebrates this victory as a triumph of grassroots activism over corporate manipulation, likening the effort to a digital revolution and a 'democracy in action'. The hosts also humorously claim credit for broader cultural shifts, including rising gas prices and stock market gains, while teasing future influence over Wendy's menu decisions.
