BK

royofhollywood

the two wendys near me both cancelled breakfast service, which sucks because I actually liked their breakfast. Other than that, the food is pretty awful. I mean not as bad as BK or McDs, but it is all goyslop.

Bro the app is smooth imo. McDonald’s app acts like it was created 15 years ago while Wendy’s and BK app run smooth as butter, 16 pro user btw. Their meal deal is basically the biggie deals where u can get fries, nuggets, sandwich, drink for 6 bucks or 2 items for 4. Glad it seems you got a good location though because they’re definitely hit or miss.

WEN meals better than MCD and BK don’t @ me

aero_r17

Maybe elsewhere in the world, but in Canada they're comfortably ahead of McDonalds and probably edge out BK by a decent amount Harvey's and A&W are the clear frontrunners here in my opinion

PhantomWonder

It’s their crap management… they have solid burgers and a choice menu. All the VP they pay and their BS stock options for nothing. It can make a rebound but they have to start paying employers more and get better management. Same thing as BK. That’s why they’re closing stores like crazy

gomper

BK dumpster is the true rock bottom

JasperPants1

Here in Canada only about 20% of all restaurants are making money. For all the reasons. Wendys and BK are not in a good place right now.

TruthAboutLife

If Wendy's suddenly placed a single patty burger on their menu that was a decent and kept the meal price under $10, they would create panic among the other 2. Look what M and BK did when Wendy's dropped their biggie bag ootiin. They had no choice but to follow suit.

bredenbuder

BK has made me shit my pants and or puke the limited times I have had it in my life. Maybe it varies by location but the Wendy's near me are pretty good if I do need a drive thru type option for food.

SnooPaintings5597

BK will win it all.

Ok-Net-7418

I ate at wendy's today before throwing $1000 into it. It was a solid B- berger. Better than McDs or BK. Close to culver's level.

mpbh

The shitty Wendy's burgers are currently slightly less shitty than McDonald's and BK currently are. This would be a trillion dollar play if not for Ozempic.

standgroundalready

Let it die. Same for McDs, BK, etc. We need better, healthier and cheaper options than what's on the menu in the American fast food marketplace.

NoNature6691

Tell OP this is Wendys not BK.. you can't have it your way.

gatovision

Wendys is honestly good for FF. imo a well run Wendys (some are neglected) is the best FF burger chain aside from In and Out. So much better than junk like McDs or BK. Also, 40% short interest.

zjz

I think BK is kinda underrated ngl. I was pretty happy with my last meal there. I think wendys is generally better than McDs/BK but I miss the days of dollar burgers and wendys fries are pretty inconsistent. A lot of the time you get soggy potato tubes.

rampagepete

hmm must be a BK guy

Human-Director-7850

Blasphemy everyone knows WEN has the greatest value pack for the money - burgers, fries and a blowey behind the dumpster. Can’t have that at BK, so bullish.

Admirable_Dust7749

Okay, I’ll give you that. You’re right, it’s not bottom tier. Middle tier with BK is fair.

mancala33

Dude they turned their back on us. Like $9 for a Dave's double. WTF. I'm going to short it too. BK Gang

PretendThisIsMyName

I cannot believe that the BK lounge has made such a comeback. They generally were the worst spot to get fast food at a certain point. Now Wendy’s, Mickey Ds, Hardees, etc has fallen way down. I just got 16 of the good old school crown nuggets, some jalepeno poppers, and a freezee for 12 bucks. And it was so good.

HedgeMoney

Super low profit, declining profit, killed by harvard MBA's, alienated core audience trying to copy McD's without the same brand power, losing its core appeal, and failed at their modernization, and the whole "dynamic pricing" leak accelerated their downfall. They used to be a cheaper option that was higher quality (IMO) than the other big 3 (BK, McD, Carl). When a company experiences consecutive years of declining profits since its peak in 2018, high debt to asset ratio, yeah its going to drop. It's not that they have debt. Its that the debt didn't bolster revenue and if anything, decreased it, and you also need to take into account increased interest rates in the future, because they are 100% going to have to extend that debt. There's no way they can magically make $2.7 billion (excluding interest), in 10 years, when their profits are expected to be less than $140 million this year. By all objective financial measures, Wendy's is in the red.

Unreachable1

Nah, McDonald’s is still decently cheap. BK has put some real effort into improving their food but it’s a bit more expensive. Wendy’s is both expensive and shit.

ilovehamburgers

BK Trio for $8 is the only luxury I haven in life right now…

Valkorion335786

BNY's former ticker was BK It was changed because people kept trying to buy Burger King stock and ended up bagholding bank shares

Bagholder147

Half Shares half BK

Electronic-Rate5497

The king bends Wendy over any day of the week! Way better fries at BK

mchratliff

Bring back the $3 Son of the Baconator deal or I'm taking my business to BK! Why eat like a read-headed stepchild when I can eat like a king!

SmashAtoms

The line was too long I had to settle for BK

DesignerSea494

I used to love the BK Whopper. Not it’s, “meh.” Good thing too, since it takes 2 hours of work to afford one.

Tercel9

Should never short on valuation alone. Need a scandal or real BK risk.

farsightxr20

I feel like they fell so far in just the last like, 5 years... it used to be better-than-average fast food, now it's at the very bottom. Had BK the other day and it was night-and-day better.

Babyfat101

With the high debt, Netflix knows they can buy lower in a year or 2, when PSKY goes BK.

Amazeballs69

Decided to make smash burgers at home so asked the wife to grab a large fry from BK on her way. I couldn't believe it when she told me it was $5.00!!! We had like 10 fries each.

conansucksdick

Buffet arb'd the McD ketchup and dropped deuces at BK. Grow up. 

Brutal_effigy

Dude, BK nuggies went from a $2 for 20 side to a whole effing $10 meal.

Ok-Grapefruit2910

And Saylor goes BK

Gullible_Ad3785

lol regards don't know how to BK.

CrackheadBobsCousin

OTC is full of them, but I don't see companies lasting this long without going BK. The real interesting thing to me is positive revenues, especially this late in the game.

No-Concentrate9348

Seems like a BK kind of guy

sb88

How many of you guys bounced back after getting completely slaughtered? Like big losses. How you handle it mentally? Completely change your technique? got wrecked short past two months on this rip, dumb move, i know, had to close with massive losses and sold good longs to hold margin, all that could go wrong did. Not my first rodeo of getting wrecked, been through this before and bounced back, but because i dont learn, this time it is worse, im lucky im not BK at this point.

kanyedidnothingwr0ng

In N Out, unless you live in a shit hole state and have to get BK

SuperNewk

ORCL is an easy buy to 300. You literally think the poster child of the AI infrastructure build out is going BK before OpenAI /Anthropic IPO?

AngryTCG

Reality is China will take state control of Taiwan Semi and they will no longer be listed on the exchange. About the same thing as a company going BK. How's that for reality.

happy123z

We chilling outside bar in BK 🤗

Time to put on the McDonalds hat big dog. No BK crown for you.

Just file BK

I have seen some weird people in forums. When the internet started, we used to use our real name, I called a few up just to chat with them to see if they really believed what they posted. Like there were 5 people protesting about MCI in front of our headquarters in WashDC, the poster was thinking this would cause a big problem for the company. MCI was an SP500 company with 30 billion in annual revenue, we walked around the protestors and took pics because of how odd it was. Another poster was a stock broker using his wife's social account to push a penny stock. His wife's account because he would have gotten fired if anyone knew what he was doing. That company went BK. This was like 30 years ago, I still see that same alias on some stock boards, not reddit btw. One guy posted 4000 times in one year about some junk stock.

reddituser12346

When was the “new” Whopper introduced? I haven’t had BK in a while, and when I got a Whopper a month or two ago it was horrible. Not nearly as good as I remembered. A couple weeks later I got another thinking the first was a fluke, but the second one was bad too. Pretty disappointed if this is their improvement

NickSalacious

I had BK twice this week. Calls.

eamd59

They are under QSR, reasturant brands international. You get a few different company's with BK. Popeyes, Firehouse subs and Tim Hortons. Did this dude get a bad whopper or something.

acart005

They changed the recipe as I recall and for about 5 minutes it was actually really good. But those fries and even that incarnation of BK are long dead.  I miss the age of the King.  Those weird ass 360 games were peak.

fireinsaigon

i think the only burger spots there are BK, MCD and lotteria. maybe jollibee too. there's popeyes too

tristis_veritas

How did Wendy's dumpster become the meme? Instead of BK or Taco Bell or McDonald's dumpster? They actually have fresher and higher quality food, relatively speaking. Usually looks cleaner and less ghetto than a regular McDonald's too. Anyways, they are hurting: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/20/wendys-taps-former-potbelly-ceo-bob-wright-to-lead-burger-chain.html

Short MU long BRK + BK this is alpha

SOPA dont miss this one! Cheap BK play that will go eventually. EASY 100% i promise you

Danimalspirit

BK all day

ryman9000

BK fries fuck tho. So I can somewhat get behind that if the micky Ds line is long

SoCallMeDeaconBlues1

Bought just before they left BK. 1000 shares. Selling at 100 or 40, runner to 150 or 20. Wide moat, great product, great intellectual property, had shit management that is slightly less shitty now. Power semiconductors (and LED manufacturers) are their main customers. Look at Infineon, Renesas, ON semi, STMicro. Main uses are now in power, and it's needed in many EV applications as well as larger scale stuff. Should keep running.

SoCallMeDeaconBlues1

Bought a big bag right before they came out of BK. Looked a little iffy there for a bit but yeah glad I held too. Good product, good moat, good IP, new less screwed up management

Inevitable-Cow-616

Where’s GMoney? I lost 20k just at BK buying up the stock through the hype back then. I jumped the ship after a few rocky waves. I just don’t know enough to reinvest in Wolf anymore. I had bad luck

SuperNewk

We are crashing!!!!! MU is going BK?!?

EmbarrassedOrchid685

thats just the enshittifcation of everything in the US these days. Wendys in canada is as good as it ever was, still better than mcdicks, BK lounge catching up but need more locations.

zuukinifresh

Kind of obvious - McD, BK, Culvers, In n Out, Sonic, & Shake Shack all have better offerings at same or better rates. Plus idk why but Wendy’s employees are always scum of the Earth service wise

Waltslife

What is Blackberry? The old flip phone that they stopped making 20 years ago? I thought they went BK a long time ago??

Siriricu20

Buy some Wendy’s calls with my BK cashier salary

miss_L_fire

The only good deals at BK are at breakfast, partner and I got 2 sandwiches, 2 hash browns, and 2 French toast sticks for $15

redbulladdict01

Just because they gained a little customer sales back through the big arch doesn’t mean they have solved half their issues. With the removal of the soda machines they are certainly on the wrong side of customer approval. Lastly, have you been to a McDonald’s lately? Yikes. BK will be getting a large market share in my opinion this year.

NerdyBro07

Prices across the board for eating out just high. Doesn't matter if it's shake shack or a local burger joint, most places are charging $14 for a similar sized burger. I would rather spend $14 on a shake shack burger (which is just as good and sometimes better than local joints) than $6-8 on a crappy Mcdonalds/BK/Wendys/etc burger. That said, i think most people are just going to have to accept they are being priced out of eating out and cut back.

LordDarthShader

I used to work there, but not anymore. Take a look around r/LocalLLM; the latest Qwen models, like the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, are good enough for most tasks—including regular PowerShell/Python work and even web development. Given the rising cost of token usage, I bet most developers and small companies will eventually move toward running their own LLMs locally. This shift proves how Chinese developers are performing real optimizations to compete despite limited GPU resources, whereas Anthropic and OpenAI seem to be burning cash and brute-forcing progress with more hardware. GitHub Copilot recently shifted from $10/month to $40/month for a rate-limited plan, and plenty of people are turning away. It just shows that these massive LLMs are not truly cost-effective yet. Intel had a great opportunity with Falcon Shores, but they cancelled that, too. They screwed everything up with the ACT in 2017, firing expert personnel who held the "tribal knowledge" of manufacturing just so Brian Krzanich (BK) could show stock growth. It backfired 100%; 10nm failed, and everything started to crumble. Between the i9-14900K crashes and the poor performance of Arrow Lake, it’s clear that pre-silicon validation is still broken at Intel—and that is a problem you can’t fix by manipulating the stock price.

Half BTC half BK Shit should be at 0

Henry Ford filed BK twice never give up.

What’s the ticker? I love their burgers but fuck nobody goes to BK in Singapore

Yes i dont want money i want dilution and rugpulls dont suggest actual stocks with value!!! Okay i guess im a bot for suggesting something not pennystock that can rugpull 

NotAnotherEmpire

Runs airline, YOLO short future fuel costs, goes BK.  Can't explain that. 

Mundane_Bluejay_6794

BK and CSCO have been two solid winners that haven’t got a lot of love over here.

kingofjingling

You really should do this lol. Maybe add QSR owner of Tim Hortons, BK, Popeyes, and firehouse subs. I got some Tim Hortons coffee in the middle of nowhere China a year or two back and that place was busy as fuck lol.

Horse_Cock42069

Regards just jealy he literally used Hulk Hogan to BK a company.

pork_fried_christ

BK would bend the brim like that smh

Avid_Reader87

I just wish they hadn’t closed down so many.  They only have a couple left in our city and they’re not really convenient to get to when I would drive past a BK or Chik fila.

err_j

Was that shit meant to bleed beet juice? I only had one ever, at the Honalulu airport BK and I’m pretty sure the meat was an old cardboard box that housed the shipment of beyond meat patties. Was rough and never thought to revisit… but should I? At a higher turn-over locale perhaps? I’m gonna. Convinced myself while writing this. Just for a trial though, no intention of veganising myself.

Retaining-Wall

Not sure how I feel about this ad campaign that Burger King is running that's basically like "we're so sorry we let ourselves go come back pls." It's kinda weird. Mind you it's 1000x better than the pitchy singing "🎵 BK have it your way..you rule." Those made me angry.

Ok-Piano8789

constant BK would suck but i think the wind's gotta be right or somethin, it's like 3 blocks away. the smells from the japanese place are always p nice.

Ok-Piano8789

i love open window weather cuz i live above a japanese restaurant and it smells amazing theres also a BK further away but sometimes i get that burger fumes and its like wow

Pete26l96

oh man I don't like those with the BBQ sauce and soggy onion ring 90% of the time. That reminds me though, the BK stacker is pretty fire.

FiefKief

Bro BK taste like asshole

Suspicious-Return809

Ronald, is that you? Or are you the King they fired from BK?

LucreziaBorgia210

For customers, Wendys makes better quality burgers than McDs or BK IMO and cheaper. For employment? Wendy’s is a good place to work.

value1024

Obviously if this does move not work out they are back to losing money, getting delisted off Nasdaq, and going BK in the end as they might have lack of funding on the OTC. The play is to capitalize on management not being shy that they are using "AI" and the fact that they just pivoted to another market segment, and are "efficient" is serving it. If management is to be trusted, this is massive, and this is no longer a $3M market cap stock any longer.

SamLeCoyote_Fix_1

Because nobody is yet thinking about holidays but it will come and saw nice smart money movements + very low debt and small profits. The price is quite low without any reason to worry about BK or RS or bad stuff 

d33p7r0ubl3

Looks like the pop was due to BK and HOOD Trump accounts lmao

Retaining-Wall

I saw the most pathetic commerical for BK during the Oscars, and the whole commercial was basically "we're super sorry that we let ourselves go, come back. We're doing better." I'm not even kidding.

gatovision

They’ve been doing it the past 3.5 years so nothings changed. Market is still infatuated with ai. Algo buys on every dip for ai hardware stocks. Just keep pushing the bubble up. $OWL could be interesting though, thats a bad sign if an ai infrastructure lender goes BK.

PARABOLIC-Explorer

Can you imagine being the shareholders of Polaroid in 1998 and your board turned down an all cash buy out offer $3B in 1999 dollars? 😂 only to file BK a couple years later? 😂

Admirable-Ad-8402

So what? That was several CEOs ago. BK was a douchebag.

Xdddxddddddxxxdxd

No way you have had it in the last couple years. The quality is Arby’s level. Every store I’ve been to smells weird. They are far below McD and even BK at this point.
