I'm going to apologize upfront, this isn't going to be great. I just got back to Pittsburgh after doing a good portion of the 5 hour drive from my parent's home, the second time in three days actually. So I'm rather fried and not terribly contemplative. Granted I could put the post off, give myself more time to come up with something a bit more clever, but I feel like if I start giving myself allowances now I'm just heading down a dangerous rabbit hole. It's honestly a little surprising that I've managed to keep it up this long without missing a post, they may get up late on Monday and Thursday but at least I'm mildly consistent. Anyway here goes nothing.
I am by no means a health conscience person. I may tend to prefer vegetable heavy meals and I'll always choose some type of fowl over other types of meat but I have no dietary restrictions I follow. I'll eat anywhere, try just about anything, and can't say I've ever really put much consideration into those calorie counts they list on menus nowadays. Although I don't put much stock in health crazes or condemning places for their menus, I can appreciate the sticker placement here. While Wendy's is typically considered to be one of the better options, or at least they've made it one of their advertising gimmicks, it's still definitely something to be careful of. With their creation of the Baconator and of course the sneakiness of bad salad ingredients, it can be dangerous when you're not really thinking about it. I don't think you can get a much better combination of the sign's "Quality Is Our Recipe" with the sticker. I rather doubt anything they serve is corrosive in the body, I would think it would be the cause of a building of layers than the destruction of them, but the point is still a valid one. Another element that I can really appreciate about this find is the sticker itself. It actually is an official Department of Transportation label for shipping dangerous materials. Not that getting the sticker is terribly difficult, a website I found was selling them at 500 a roll for $26. It is a bit of a commitment though, especially if the person who placed the sticker isn't an individual that sends corrosive materials around the country. There's also the fact that this is the only one of these that I've found around the city so far. I can guarantee there are far more vilified food stuffs and restaurants people often make more statements about than Wendy's. Although this is one of the few fast food restaurants in Lawrenceville, which probably plays a large part in this sticker statement. Sadly the sticker is no longer there, I've happened to walk by it and the restaurant obviously removed it from their sign. Yet it's the thought that counts and certainly fun while it lasted.
