I used to eat them in college, we all did. They were a decent burger and you had to special order them, because they couldn't be found on the menu; kind of like ordering "Animal Style" at In N' Out Burger. However, when they started advertising the double stack on tv recently, I went back reminiscing about the meals I used to have and now they are skimply limp and fit in the palm of my hand when they used to be huge and really something worth the name double stack. Totally agree. Here is another. Remember all of the realistic sounds you heard on tv as a kid with guns, action etc. with action figures. Yeah, we all learn quickly. I am a fan of underpromise and overdeliver. That is my motto. I felt the same way about the Wendy’s Double Stack. I used to eat them in college, we all did.

How about the "fine print"! How fine can it get? There should be a law to control the proportion of big print and small print on any one ad. And how about those details that just roll down your tv screen and are impossible to read unless you record the commercial and then play it at a slower speed !! Justice is blind but so is the law, sometimes. I hope those Consumer Watch Groups get a bit busier with their fight. Meantime you are on your own. It is simply outrageous. How about the “fine print”!
