It is a sad day any time the honeymoon is over. Consoling words never help. "It was a good run...while it lasted." "You will always have the memories." "It is better to have had $0.99 5-piece chicken nuggets and lost than to never have had $0.99 5-piece chicken nuggets at all." The tough economic times have finally trickled down all the way to the house that Dave Thomas built. Sure that redhead on the sign is cute, but she no longer shines like a $0.99 5-piece chicken nugget beacon in the night.
I know that each Wendy's location has the option to play along with various price initiatives. That is what gives us the "at participating locations" disclaimer. And I know that not every Wendy's offered 5 tasty chicken nuggets for $0.99. But mine did. And now it is gone.
