80 days of only Wendys---will he make it ? Fri, 09/12/08 11:14 AM (permalink)
A young man from Tampa quit his job and is taking off to visit
every one of the 50 states. He also will only eat at Wendy's, hoping to lose weight. He plans to eat nothing but salads, side dishes and items from the Super Value menu.

I wonder if he can go 80 days eating only Wendy's. Gotta give
him a lot of credit ---he could not stand his job sitting in
a cubicle 8 hours a day, had to get out and see the world.

Way to go,go,go------Eric Kramp.

    Gee, are there Wendy's restaurants on the ship to Hawaii?

      Michael he will brown bag it to Hawaii, eating only stuff he got in Frisco.
      Or, Maybe he will sneak some chow with the crew. Our first three days out
      of San Fran I was throwing up, so I wasn't interested in food for most of
      the trip.

      I will give him lleechef's e-mail address for his visit to Sarah Palin territory.

          That must have been one hell of a job if he can afford to quit it and travel to all 50 States, Wendy's or not.

            Not a fancy job---he was doing medical billing. Big article in St Pete Times.
            He just is a single guy who is going to blow his savings for one last hoorah.

            He has a list of places he can sleep on a couch for free and all the Wendy's from
            here to Nome, Alaska. I'll bet there are a lot of guys his age who would love to
            have the guts to do what he is attempting. (A lot of older married guys too.)

            I joined the Navy to see the world, he joined the Wendy Tour instead.

                      Id rather starve in my cubicle than eat Wendy's for one day.




                      different strokes, I guess.

                          I had to Google both Jared and Morgan Spurlock so U can C that
                          I am right up to date on the goings on in the world of fast food.

                          I thought about the 3 guys and their claim to fame and fortune--
                          one eating Wendy's stuff, one eating Subway stuff and numero three
                          eating McDonald's stuff. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!! It's kinda
                          like the "Lady and the Tiger". I guess I would go Subway if I was
                          forced to make a choice. Pass the Tums please !!!!!
