Wendy's Offers Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for 1 Cent Each: A Limited-Time Deal Amidst Rising Prices

In honor of National Hamburger Day on May 28, Wendy's is offering a unique deal for burger lovers: Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for just 1 cent each from May 28 to June 2. This promotion marks the third time Wendy's has offered this deal, previously doing so in celebration of National Cheeseburger Day and National Hamburger Month.

To take advantage of this offer, customers must register for an account on the Wendy's app or website and apply the digital offer. However, they cannot combine multiple digital offers on a single order.

This deal comes as fast food chains compete to attract customers with value meals in response to rising prices. McDonald's and Burger King have also recently introduced $5 meal deals.

Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger consists of a beef patty, applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. The burger is known for its freshness as Wendy's uses never frozen beef.

The 1-cent promotion was first announced on May 24 by Wendy's through a statement to USA Today. The company emphasized the importance of affordability for customers amidst inflation, stating, “it's imperative that we continue to keep affordability at the forefront for our customers.”

The promotion is valid at participating Wendy's nationwide and runs from May 28 to June 2. Customers must make their purchases through the Wendy's app or website and cannot combine multiple digital offers on a single order.

    The author uses an exaggerated and inflammatory phrase 'hamburglary' to describe the price of the burgers, which is a form of hyperbole. The author also quotes McDonald's CEO making statements about consumers being discriminating with their spending and the importance of affordability for customers, which are not fallacies but rather reporting on facts.

    The author makes an appeal to value by stating that the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers are being sold for only 1 cent, implying that this is a great deal. However, they also mention that it costs about 3 cents to make a penny, which means the burger is actually losing money for Wendy's with this promotion. This can be considered an appeal to emotion and a false dilemma fallacy as the author presents only two options: paying full price or getting the burger for 1 cent.
    • One fast food chain is extending a beefy holiday into a full week of inexpensive eats. May 28 is National Hamburger Day, and to celebrate, Wendy’s is selling Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for the unbelievably low cost of only 1 cent.
    • For National Cheeseburger Day (Sept. 18) Wendy’s sold the pork and dairy-topped burger for one cent as part of a similar four-day celebration.
