Do you ever get app notifications from fast food restaurants? Do you ever wish they were a bit more customized to you specifically?
A while ago I got a notification from the Wendy’s app. I installed the app a little while ago, and I think this is the first notification I got from them.
As I was waiting for the app to open, I was imagining Wendy’s giving me a very custom message. Perhaps something based on my last order. Or maybe… Wendy’s could use AI to really customize my message. We all know that apps and websites track where we go.
What if Wendy’s looked at my browser history today and decided to give me a menu suggestion based on the sites I visited today?
Here’s a list of webpages I visited today:
- Motownphilly by Boyz II Men – Samples, Covers and Remixes | WhoSampled

What Wendy’s could have sent me
🍔 “MotownPhilly back again…”
…and so is our Baconator. Slide into something smooth—like melted cheese.
📸 “That Nikon’s gonna need fuel.”
Before you hit the car wash photo sesh, fuel up with a Wendy’s Classic Chicken Sandwich combo. Pics taste better on a full stomach.
🎨 “You looked at vintage campaign buttons…”
…so we made a campaign of our own: 4 for $4. Real change you can taste.
🧠 “Brainy Smurf says: Don’t skip lunch.”
Even Grouchy would smile at our Spicy Nuggs.
🔪 “Shopping for 100 X-ACTO blades?”
Precision is important. That’s why our fries are cut fresh daily. Sharp.
⚾ “Vance Law? Deep cut.”
Try our deep cuts—like the Dave’s Double, stacked with flavor.
📚 “Reading The Comics Courier?”
Every superhero needs a sidekick. Ours: Frosty + Fries.
📀 “Still vibing to Boyz II Men?”
We’ll bend the rules of flavor. Classic like ’91, fresh like today. Try the Classic Dave’s Single.
🏢 “Trump Tower barricades are gone.”
But nothing’s stopping our hot & crispy fries.
👕 “Smurfs 40th Anniversary Figures?”
Celebrate your inner child with a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. It’s tiny and mighty—just like Smurfette.
Any of these would be hilarious enough where I’d be like, “that’s enough, I’m dropping what I’m doing, and going to Wendy’s.”
