There was an old TV show in 2010 that would talk about fast food places and give information about it. One of them was about the Wendy's frosty where you can turn it upside down. Only remember this because I went to Wendy's right after that show with my mom and wanted to see if that was true. It was true. But, never went to Wendy's after that
And even at DQ it's just to show you it's fresh and wasn't sitting around (otherwise the sides would start to melt and it falls out). It's not a guarantee past when they give it to you. Lol
Lol, I work at Wendy’s. I loved their reactions. For anyone wondering why we sell square Pattie’s, it’s because Dave created a saying called “We don’t cut corners”.
I'm from Texas and I used to review food places from all over the country... and so I don't say this lightly... Wendy's has the best beef in the fast food business
I love watching Brits trying American food, and their surprised reaction to it being good. "It's really nice". Always puts a smile on my face to watch these videos.
I love their reactions to biscuits & gravy. Their reactions to that is America's reaction to pork & beans on anything. That's just nasty. But at least we know biscuits & gravy is amazing.
@@msdmckay Speak for urself. Biscuits r nasty work. With or without gravy. Especially white gravy. I am southern US & I absolutely rather have pork & beans ANY day of 😂week. I'd pick p&b's every single time.
I worked in a Wendy's on the grill station. When you see how the meat comes in, square makes more sense for packaging and transport. The burgers come in fresh, never frozen. So, the patties are separated by wax paper, so you peel off a piece of paper with the patty attached and you can put it on the grill without even touching the patty. Since the burgers are fresh the patties would potentially get disformed in transport. In contrast, I also worked for McD's for 3 days before this. Those burgers were frozen round discs.
@@withlov I used to help unload the trucks at the store. They never arrived frozen. Why would they thaw them out for the trip to the store? That doesn't make any sense. It's also what Wendy's claims on their website. "Since day one, we’ve been serving up our fresh, never frozen hamburgers- no frozen pucks or precooked patties!" Maybe you should call them out and make a surprise visit to a store on delivery day.
@@withlov This is when I was in high school. I'm an IT architect now. You rotate the meat and don't buy more than you need. Yes, we would end up throwing some out. I read correctly. I'm hearing from someone with no first-hand knowledge on the subject, only what your man tells you. Someone who just dumps on another person calling them just a "burger flipper" is just you being miserable with your life.
@@withlovit’s not impossible to use a large quantity of refrigerated ground beef without freezing it. Plenty of chains do it (in n out, five guys, etc.) not to mention proper restaurants as well. Like that statement doesn’t make any sense, why would it be impossible lol.
I am high school teacher in USA and I love watching these videos. These students are so polite and good-hearted. I love their teacher, too- what a great group of humans!
I think they said he was a headmaster, which I think is what the Brits call a School Principle. You can probably imagine why we don't like titles that have the word master in them over here.
Of course, the school picked the students who would make the school look best. Also, who wouldn't be so happy to be given free food, especially American food when you live in the UK and eat cardboard every day.
I mean, they are being recorded and are probably told to not get too crazy since editing can only do so much. Personally I would be grateful to assists this channel like them and do my best they keep bringing me back and the audience likes me and my reactions in general.
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus. Romans 6:23 John 3:16❤😊❤
Ok so I'm from Ohio, where Dave is from. When he was a kid, he worked at a place called Wilson's. Dave stole all of Wilson's recipes and food styles, everything!! And it's way way better than Wendy's!!! The square burger comes from how Wilson's makes their burgers. Wilson's is in Findlay, Ohio. And if you have Wilson's, you won't ever want to eat Wendy's ever again!
@@attigator Too true. Best burrito I've ever had, you had to go into this alley and find the rusted door which led into a dingy looking place where you could get a hefty burrito for like a $1.50. That was in 2008.
From an American perspective I think these videos are great especially since the young men are so polite and happy being involved. I'm no fan of fast food anymore but I remember when I couldn't get enough 😂😂
Same, I love watching these. It's weird but people actually liking something that's American makes me feel almost a sense of pride even over something as silly as fast food & I love the manners of these young men it's so refreshing
When I was a kid I always got the "big breakfast " at mcds. Pop always said just get the egg mcmuffin, but no! I was somebody! Take it all, put it together with a package of strawberry jelly. The bomb 💣 ah to be young 😅
It makes me happy because its proof that we can connect to each other. The sharing of foods, art, culture is what brings us closer together as a species.
Every December they sell keychains and when you buy them the money gets donated to foster care and you get a free Frosty each time you show your keychain.
I met Dave Thomas as a kid. He was selling 25 cent frostys for charity. It was at a breakout hockey tournament at the Tampa convention center the last year we held the all star game there. I was 13 and he was so humble people asking for pictures and he didn’t see himself as a celebrity
The founder of Wendy's created the square hamburger patty as a marketing scheme. Their commercials used to say something like: We don't cut corners in the quality of our beef
Huh. I always assumed that at some point they'd had equipment that could more easily produce square burgers than round ones, probably by pressing the raw hamburger in a large sheet and then cutting it with a rectangular grid of thin wire. (A lot of food shapes can be explained by the equipment that was historically available, e.g., that's why sticks of butter are a different shape in California than most of the rest of the country.)
I worked at Wendys when I was in high school from 1978 through 1979. We used a machine to patty the square burgers. You had to keep a consistent flow through the hopper on top to get the pattys complete.8 pattys to a stack and 8 stacks per pan.The machine also placed a paper between the pattys so that when they are being prepared it was easier to put them on the grill. The motto was hot and juicy. Sad they aren't like that now. @jonadabtheunsightly
It was also to make it appear there as more meat on it. He claimed people would see the meat hanging off the edge making it seem like you were getting more value.
Yeah Jolly and team should work out a deal to feature this segment in Wendy’s marketing. It reminded me of how good their food is under the fast food category and motivated to go find a Wendy’s and enjoy the higher quality fast food as a treat.
I cannot see American teens trying food like they are. Usually they take one look and say I am not eating that. I always tell my grandkids if you don't try it you will never know if you will like it, but they refuse. These boys are polite. They try it all and their manners are very good as well. We need to teach our teens better.
@Buttsceatcgee Test scores say otherwise. Massachusetts blows away any states education system that isn't in the North East or midwest. Even then it's still better, but there's some close ones like Minnesota and Connecticut
So glad you’re creating again. You guys bring sunshine to my world. BTW: holding the frozen dessert upside down is actually Dairy Queen’s Blizzard schtick. Wendy’s has never claimed that, which is good because the Frosty (what us Yanks call it) melts really fast.
@@icollectstories5702 Blizzards tend to have candy or cookies mixed in. I'd imagine that sprinkles are an option, but other toppings are more popular. Like M&Ms, Oreo cookies, Peanut butter cups.
@@icollectstories5702 Blizzards have ad-ins, like Oreos or fruit. DQ has posters in their stores showing the upside down cup and saying it’s free if it drips. And they’re supposed to flip it upside down in front of you.
Actually it is Dairy Queen blizzards that are so thick you can turn them upside down, not Wendy's Frosties. If yall haven't tried them, they are delicious! And it isn't on the menu anymore, but you can always order the blizzards with "extra stuff"!
Frozen custard is actually way better than Dairy Queen, so much so that it ruined DQ for me. Andy's and Culver's are two must try chains that have it. The texture is incredible and they make a new batch hourly so it's just right.
@@meaganadwyer I love Culver's. The food is always hot and fresh, and I love their shakes. They're not as loaded with sugar as other fast-food shakes.
5:02 After Max said "cheese is happiness" on a video with 2.8 M view, I think the state of Wisconsin would be willing to sponsor his travel visa to the US.
Max is my favourite, along with Theo. He seems naive and gormless, but also a really nice kid. I teach high school and a class of Maxes and Theos would make work a great place to be.
I love how the one young man say, "oh my days!" When he's really impressed with the food! Lol great to see these guys enjoy really great fast foods and shakes!
The reason why the Frostie has a much more subtle flavor is that Dave didn’t want them to overwhelm the flavor of the burgers. Surprisingly, one of the key parts to achieving that was to combine both chocolate and vanilla into the mix.
When they brought out the frosty, I kept saying “They have to dip the fries in the frosty!!” I love seeing these kids getting older and guessing how they will react.
This is seriously one of my favorite series to watch on YT, the "British Highschoolers try" videos. Love them. The kids are just adorable, and I love their reactions! So honest!
Dave Thomas was adopted as a baby, worked for Colonel Sanders, came up with the red and white bucket for KFC, started Wendy's in 1969 in Columbus, Ohio (my home city/state), and became a big advocate for adoption starting a foundation under his name. The Frosty is my favorite "ice cream". And yes, you can't have a Frosty without dipping a French fries in it!
I grew up in a smaller town not too far from Columbus and I remember as a kid doing trips to the original COSI (Center of Science and Industry) which was right across from the original Wendy's location, which would be where we always grabbed lunch, and so I have really fond memories of it. It's unfortunate that it's no longer there as that location was more of a unique experience from the other chain locations.
No, Wendy's Frosty used to be like wet cement. It wasn't going anywhere. Even upside down. I tested this many times. Now it's not strong enough to act as the mortar in the great Wall of China anymore.
These highschoolers and their headmaster are just so cute. Their reactions are so funny, whether they love or hate the items. I really enjoy these videos.
When that kid reached for the fries to try with the frosty, I actually screamed YEAAAHHH and put my hands in the air, such good memories of doing that growing up
Its a common thing among the workers at Wendy's as well. Worked Grill for 2 years awhile ago. Love the Spicy Chicken with different sauces and pickles too
Yes. I am surprised the colouref boy didnt ask for a slice of watermyfor dessert! It is in there culture to be fair. They probably got home and started jiving to reggae!
Dave Thomas began his restaurant career at Regas restaurant in my town, Knoxville, TN. It was open for 90yrs and finally closed down in 2010, much to the dismay of many Knoxvillians. I ate duck for the only time in my life at Regas for my wedding dinner appetizer.
Them:"Why not square buns with a square burger?" Me: "Cause that's White Castle which was the first." Edited quote: "White Castle also uses square patties - an invention that actually predates Wendy's. According to its history, the chain began in 1921 in Kansas by selling square hamburgers that were easy to eat and called “Sliders.” In 1954, White Castle added five holes to the patty so they could cook faster."
fun fact: the square shape serve to make better use of the grill than with traditional burgers. while the shape gives it a distinct look, it also allows them to cook more food in less time, giving them their reputation for "faster food". Yes, it is true that the speed of the past is not as it once was, but still runs laps around the likes of Mcdonalds.
I do like the occasional Frosty, but Dairy Queen's "Blizzard" is the one known for being safe to turn upside down for a short while after it's made :) "Chocolate" Frosties are good for dipping fries into.
I love how the banter between the headmaster and Josh&Ollie is different than the banter between the kids and Josh&Ollie, yet both funny and entertaining
The issue is really consistency. McDonalds is consistently mid. If you have had a tough day, you migh settle for a con mid rather than trying to gamble for gold
American grandmother here--these videos bring me such joy and laughter! All of you are so precious, and i know these food moments are a lot of fun for you to produce. Thank you for brightening my day!😊💖🇺🇸
Canada 🇨🇦 here, When i was your ages, i worked at Wendy's and i can honestly tell you, Wendys uses fresh products only. The cheese is NOT that fake processed stuff, the Frosty is actually a dairy dessert you eat with a spoon, the bacon is high quality applewood smoked bacon. The beef patties are made fresh daily from huge packs of fresh lean ground beef, its inserted into the top of a stainless steel patty press machine which presses meat into square pattes with wax liner sheets in between. The patties are stacked into stainless steel pans, covered in stretch wrap and refrigerated to only be used for that day. Any patties unused daily are cooked well done on the grill, then chopped and put into freshly made chilli which is also one of their products made with fresh sauce, their own spice mixture, the beef patties, and huge really rinsed well kidney beans. Its not overly spicy though..perfect really because anyone who prefers spicier food or chilli receive foil packettes of Wendys hot sauce to mix in. They also serve huge russet baked potatoes (if you prefer baked, instead of fries), which come plain (with butter) or sour cream and chives, or loaded with melted cheese and REAL bacon bits. Their chicken sandwiches are also fresh and pure 100% chicken breast meat, NO FILLERS. They also offer grilled chicken breasts if you prefer foods not fried, but grilled. Lastly, they have the most delicious healthy salad choices as well. The chicken ceasar compares to top restaurants, real cheese dressing, actual bacon broken up, garlic croutons and you can get it cold with warm fresh chicken chunks...so delicious!!! They have other assorted salads, all fresh, crisp and delicious. They even have a Taco salad, it comes with various lettuce types, shredded cheese, a container of chilli your pour on top, fresh sour cream, & a fresh packette of taco chips. The salads are large and a meal in themselves. Wendy's founder Dave Thomas named store after his daughter Wendy. He was adopted child and grew up into an amazing entrepreneur founding Wendy's restaurants with only the best ingredients. The fast food Wendys chains promote adoptions, have donation receptacles on the counters, and donation blitzes whereby if you donate $2.00 you receive a coupon for basically a free burger meal, so its valued more than your donation, at least here in Canada, not sure about the U S. Glad you all enjoyed the food. It was fun watching you all try it out and enjoying yourselves. You all seem to be such polite, well-raised, well-mannered young gentlemen. I was very impressed with you all. ❤ from Ontario, 🇨🇦 CANADA
That's cool! I used to work for Wendy's for a long time here in America. Did you guys have a secret menu? Like ours was a T-Rex burger, it was a Dave's Single but added 8 patties to the sandwich.
@@Nulifenaction65 Unfortunately, it's probably simply because they don't sell enough. I personally like to get a side of chili to dip my burgers and fries into. But I can see that it's probably not the most commonly sold menu item.
The paddy's are square so that meat hangs out of the bun. The sides of the paddy's are suppost to always reach the sides of the bun. So the square provides some extra meat in the corners. Worked at wendys for a couple years in high school and a coworker read that in Dave Thomas's autobiography. He really was big on quality, and why it's still my favorite fast food to eat.
I love it too. I’ve noticed my 15 year old son now says their slang like oh my days. He plays online with kids all over the world and it always amazes me the little things he picks up from each friend. But oh my days always makes me think of these adorable gentlemen.
Great seeing you Jolly people! Dave Thomas actually worked in my hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana, as a teenager. He worked at a restaurant called the "Hobby House" which was a purveyor of "KFC" chicken. Dave's story is absolutely incredible, and he was such a humble man. If you ready Dave Thomas' story versus Ray Kroc's story, you will be able to know why Wendy's is sooooo much better than McDonald's. IMHO Dave talks about who helped him to be a success, and Ray talks about who he "crushed" to become a success.
Little man's theory about chicken shops is the same as my theory on BBQ shops. You want them to have a corrugated plastic sign that's discolored and looks like it's been there for years.
Dave did the square patty to stand out and let you see that the patty is bigger than the bun itself and they do not freeze the meat it is always fresh and never frozen. Glad you guys love it!!!
My Mom & brothers LOVE Wendy's, I never liked it growing up. We used to have to go to BK afterwards for me because I was 100% a shitty spoiled brat as a kid. I still can't stand the beef, for some reason I always get bone shards whenever I get burgers, but the fries and all their chicken stuff is very good, plus the veggies are always fresh. If you get the app it's almost always free every day, just have to buy a $0.99 juice box, def not expensive but still WAY more expensive than BK or McD if you just go without the apps
Love that the principal gets to partake in the trying the fast foods around the globe. Thanks, enjoying the uploads. The students are hilariously funny and happy to eat. Most of all, open and honest with their assessment
8:21 I agree with the kid. Even here in America I find some of the best tasting food comes from little shacks that look like they haven't been updated since the 1950s. As long as they practice safe food handling and are sanitary, I don't care. I've been to newly opened restaurants that looked incredibly clean and have had the worst tasting food and have made me sick with food poisoning. That little dude knows what's up. 😊
Last time when I ate the bacon egg burrito. I was eating the burrito and I asked myself,"where's the bacon?". Then I saw some bacon bits in the burrito. I was deeply disappointed that I ate a scrambled eggs, potato, bell peppers and cheese burrito with a few pieces of bacon.
Dipping Chips in a Frosty is a thing in the U.S. In the 80s, when my son worked at Wendy's, the morning crew would press out burgers in a machine, from none frozen ground beef. The only thing frozen were the chips.
I worked at Wendy's too at that time and every morning they would bring us fresh ground beef & we used that machine to stamp out the square shaped burgers that would go into metal bins for only that day. That is why the burgers taste so fresh & juicy ! By the way the Chili is mostly over cooked hamburgers from that day.
Trivia from someone who has eaten Wendy’s for their whole life: Wendy’s has the freshest burgers, never frozen, unlike most of the big burger chains. It’s why they just melt in your mouth and taste so delicious. They are square because the meat is seasoned and pressed into a large rectangle pan and cut into squares. It’s all done by hand everyday and not by a machine. Needs to be easy and quick for the employees. When Dave died his daughter Wendy named his famous burgers after him. So the burgers were not always called Dave’s Single or Dave’s Double, etc..
The "Always fresh, never frozen" standard for Wendy's is also why you won't find any in northern Canada. It's too hard to get fresh beef up there, so Wendy's refuses to allow any franchises in several areas up north.
I spent 2 minutes on chatgpt and got all that info and more. The square patties actually did start as a marketing scheme though, square is no easier than disc.
Trivia from someone who worked at Wendys [line coordinator] for 5 years in the late 80's, those burgers were never, ever, ever made by us.... they came delivered fresh every day or ever other day, depending how many we used. Never frozen, always fresh. Any patties not sold in alotted fresh time were put in the refrigerator and chopped and boiled for the world famous chili the next day. Never kept more than one day, each batch of chili was made fresh in the morning. Trust me, you could never get kids flipping burgers to cut those so perfectly... never.
@@WARnTEA Depends on the branch but for the most part, its popular enough to rarely have more than 2 cups of chili leftover at the end of the day where I worked. Also while yes it can run out, (most of the time), there was another batch on the way with fresher meat due to extra burgers almost always being on the grill at any given time.
The reason the pattys are square was like they said to stand out and also because Dave said they don't cut corners in quality like other fast food which then became their motto as well "No corners cut" or "We don't cut corners". It sometimes even says it on the bags or burger wraps
Actually, I worked at Wendy's and we were taught working the grill to press each of the four corners with the spatula before and after a flip so that the cook on the burger happened equally and preventing any one corner of the burger being under or over cooked.
Having worked for Wendy's for three years in my early-mid 20's, it is my favorite fast food chain. Having also worked at McDonald's before that, the contrast in quality of food between the two chains is insane. As far as freshness and quality of fast food, Wendy's is top of the list.
My list of best fast food burgers best to least fave are DQ, Wendy's, BK, McD's. I'm from the Northeast so Five Guys is a decent burger but way overpriced & fries are a No.
Wendy's is either good or cold and sloppy. I went last week and the fries and burger were cold, it didn't have all the toppings, and had cheese when I didn't order any. MCDs always gets it right; it's the same every time and at every store. Frosties are always good, though.
Wendy's has gone down hill, by the current billionaire owner who took over since Dave The Founder died. We won't go to our local Wendy's. They are rude to all customers, and the manager told me and a 90 yr old widow at another table, in an empty restaurant, that had 30 minutes each to eat and leave, otherwise we would be loitering! I had just gotten out of the hospital for gall bladder removal surgery. I can't eat fast. I complained to corporate on my receipt. An equally unprofessional man banned me from being served! Wow! Pay top dollar for a meal and $6 for a soda and get treated this badly?! Never again! Wendy's now wants to charge customers higher prices for "premium hours". The Cedar/Herndon, Fresno, Calif, Wendy's has lost many customers, angry at the bad treatment.
Square patties vs. round means you can get more on a square grill. Plus, the exposed square corners on a round bun give the impression of even larger meat portions. Plus/Plus...you can eat the corners first like an appetizer which is more fun than none at all.
Wendy's returned to the UK in 2021 after a 20-year break and has since opened just over 30 sites, including company-run and franchised restaurants as well as delivery kitchens. This has included four drive-through sites in Colchester, Peterborough, Derby and Brampton Hut.
"Dave is a good man." Yep. I was adopted in 1969, just like Dave's beloved adopted daughter, Wendy. He launched the business that year, and everything was named in her honor. ❤❤
Canadian here. I work evenings/nights, and by the time I'm done work, fast-food restaurants are usually the only things open. I LOVE Wendy's, because they have a decent array of items that don't involve a slab of meat on bread. Their salad options are so good, and so are their baked potatoes! Also, unlike McDonalds, they don't price gouge you like crazy lol
So true. I miss the broccoli cheese potatoes! I used to get them all the time late at night on my way home from work- one summer in particular I pretty much lived off of them! :D
Retired food delivery guy here. Wendy's was one of our customers for a few years. The beef was never frozen. Sometimes we had to wait for the truck that would bring it from the meat plant that was by Boise Idaho. The lettuce on the sandwiches of course will be crisper if you eat it within 10 minutes of purchasing it. The nature of lettuce. It goes limp over time with heat.

Of course, the school picked the students who would make the school look best. Also, who wouldn't be so happy to be given free food, especially American food when you live in the UK and eat cardboard every day.
@@chrisc1881~ not as much these days, but these are obviously lovely lads.
I mean, they are being recorded and are probably told to not get too crazy since editing can only do so much. Personally I would be grateful to assists this channel like them and do my best they keep bringing me back and the audience likes me and my reactions in general.
I love Mr. Smith. He is just so down to earth and you can tell the students love him.
Yeah definitely a good teacher/ headteacher
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.

He's so funny. He loves all the food.
He reminds me a lot of Anthony Head's headmaster character in Doctor Who.
Ok so I'm from Ohio, where Dave is from. When he was a kid, he worked at a place called Wilson's. Dave stole all of Wilson's recipes and food styles, everything!! And it's way way better than Wendy's!!! The square burger comes from how Wilson's makes their burgers. Wilson's is in Findlay, Ohio. And if you have Wilson's, you won't ever want to eat Wendy's ever again!
“The more rundown the chicken shop the better the food is.”
That’s the most American thing I’ve heard in this video 😂
That's a well known thing in the UK..you know the food is gonna bang if they got some 13 year old on the till as well
Same rule applies to Mexican food in the US
@@attigator Too true. Best burrito I've ever had, you had to go into this alley and find the rusted door which led into a dingy looking place where you could get a hefty burrito for like a $1.50. That was in 2008.
😂😂😂 frrr
Fr 💀💀 that’s some hood shi
Haha!! I’m Canadian and I absolutely LOVE this! These kids are proper sweet and hilarious too. The headmaster is a hoot! Keep ‘em comin.
From an American perspective I think these videos are great especially since the young men are so polite and happy being involved. I'm no fan of fast food anymore but I remember when I couldn't get enough 😂😂
Awesome seeing first time reactions to something I love.
Absolutely brilliant coming from a Canadians perspective.
Same, I love watching these. It's weird but people actually liking something that's American makes me feel almost a sense of pride even over something as silly as fast food & I love the manners of these young men it's so refreshing
When I was a kid I always got the "big breakfast " at mcds. Pop always said just get the egg mcmuffin, but no! I was somebody! Take it all, put it together with a package of strawberry jelly. The bomb 💣 ah to be young 😅
Wendy's is p good for cheap fast food. I hate McDs
It makes me happy because its proof that we can connect to each other. The sharing of foods, art, culture is what brings us closer together as a species.
Another nice thing about Wendy's is that they donate, and you can too thru them, to adoption funds. Dave was adopted, so he likes to support that.
Really cool. I didn't know that.
Every December they sell keychains and when you buy them the money gets donated to foster care and you get a free Frosty each time you show your keychain.
@@SRose-vp6ewI didn't know that. I'll make sure to buy one in December.
@SRose-vp6ew, that's cool! December really is the most wonderful time of the year lol 😅
Fries dipped into a chocolate Frosty is a classic American fast food experience. Cheers!
Came here to say that as well
Me too. But I want vanilla, not chocolate
I met Dave Thomas as a kid. He was selling 25 cent frostys for charity. It was at a breakout hockey tournament at the Tampa convention center the last year we held the all star game there. I was 13 and he was so humble people asking for pictures and he didn’t see himself as a celebrity
The founder of Wendy's created the square hamburger patty as a marketing scheme.
Their commercials used to say something like:
We don't cut corners in the quality of our beef
Huh. I always assumed that at some point they'd had equipment that could more easily produce square burgers than round ones, probably by pressing the raw hamburger in a large sheet and then cutting it with a rectangular grid of thin wire. (A lot of food shapes can be explained by the equipment that was historically available, e.g., that's why sticks of butter are a different shape in California than most of the rest of the country.)
You can fit more square patties on a griddle than round ones - it was an engineering solution to increase efficiency in the kitchen.
I worked at Wendys when I was in high school from 1978 through 1979. We used a machine to patty the square burgers. You had to keep a consistent flow through the hopper on top to get the pattys complete.8 pattys to a stack and 8 stacks per pan.The machine also placed a paper between the pattys so that when they are being prepared it was easier to put them on the grill. The motto was hot and juicy. Sad they aren't like that now.
@jonadabtheunsightly
Yes! I worked there and that's exactly right! 😂
It was also to make it appear there as more meat on it. He claimed people would see the meat hanging off the edge making it seem like you were getting more value.
Wendy’s, if you’re listening, this was the best ad ever for you. I laughed so hard, because everything they said was true
And they didn't even tell them that it's the more inexpensive fast food!
@@Fran_Glass Seriously. Bums me out to watch the franchise closing sites. They clearly should go over there and become rock stars
We're always listening.
@@davethomasfounderofwendys made me watch it again and crack up again
Yeah Jolly and team should work out a deal to feature this segment in Wendy’s marketing.
It reminded me of how good their food is under the fast food category and motivated to go find a Wendy’s and enjoy the higher quality fast food as a treat.
"You Americans have some weird combos".... y'all put beans on toast!!! 😂
And on pizza!
They put corn on pizza!

That young man going straight for the iconic duo of dipping the fries in the frosty has an American soul. That's genuinely a VERY Wendy's thing to do.
Yeeesss I said the same thing
Hot fry in a cold frosty - YUM
Never done it in my life. Thats like a fat person or female thing to do.

This is an effective marketing for Wendy's. Watching this made me want to eat at Wendy's

@@jeffschmelzer1592in general.
Those boys are so nice and polite. Their parents should be proud.
I was thinking the same thing! Take some of our foul American kids and send them to the U.K. for a few months!
I just adore these kids. They are so wholesome and well mannered.
We have standards lol
I cannot see American teens trying food like they are. Usually they take one look and say I am not eating that. I always tell my grandkids if you don't try it you will never know if you will like it, but they refuse. These boys are polite. They try it all and their manners are very good as well. We need to teach our teens better.
I think they did some videos with American kids trying british foods, and honestly it was quite the opposite of these boys. They were rude.
No chance
I’m always so impressed with the way the kids comport themselves. They all seem so mature and well spoken for kids their age.
European education lol.
@@tiernanrea1726nah Americans talk like this too. But Middle west or south east are less likely though, due to poor education in those areas.
@Buttsceatcgee
Test scores say otherwise. Massachusetts blows away any states education system that isn't in the North East or midwest. Even then it's still better, but there's some close ones like Minnesota and Connecticut
test scores mean nothing@@EngagingOverImmersive
@@EngagingOverImmersive Massachusetts is like the only smart state in that area lol. Any states around it are pretty low educated.
So glad you’re creating again. You guys bring sunshine to my world.
BTW: holding the frozen dessert upside down is actually Dairy Queen’s Blizzard schtick. Wendy’s has never claimed that, which is good because the Frosty (what us Yanks call it) melts really fast.
I've been eating Wendy's Frostys for 45 years. Not once did I ever turn it upside down.
Ran to the comments once I seen this 😂
Don't Blizzards have sprinkles? Frostys are kinda plain. Also bland IMO, but I wouldn't turn one down.
@@icollectstories5702 Blizzards tend to have candy or cookies mixed in. I'd imagine that sprinkles are an option, but other toppings are more popular. Like M&Ms, Oreo cookies, Peanut butter cups.
@@icollectstories5702 Blizzards have ad-ins, like Oreos or fruit. DQ has posters in their stores showing the upside down cup and saying it’s free if it drips. And they’re supposed to flip it upside down in front of you.
Missed y'all
Needs to do twice a month
Why tf did they dip anyways
@@yashdoshi3095they took Jan off to spend time with family, friends, healthy break
I think we all missed them 😂
These kids are so funny. I LOVE watching them❤
I was in the UK for a study abroad and when I saw the lovely Wendys on a corner in Oxford- as an American, I felt like home.
Actually it is Dairy Queen blizzards that are so thick you can turn them upside down, not Wendy's Frosties. If yall haven't tried them, they are delicious! And it isn't on the menu anymore, but you can always order the blizzards with "extra stuff"!
I was looking for this comment. I've never heard of turning Frosties upside down.
Thank you lol, I was going to say he same
Frozen custard is actually way better than Dairy Queen, so much so that it ruined DQ for me. Andy's and Culver's are two must try chains that have it. The texture is incredible and they make a new batch hourly so it's just right.
@palaceofwisdom9448 oh Culver's would be a great place for them to go! Their custard is definitely amazing. Plus their pot roast sandwich is soooo 🔥
@@meaganadwyer I love Culver's. The food is always hot and fresh, and I love their shakes. They're not as loaded with sugar as other fast-food shakes.
5:02 After Max said "cheese is happiness" on a video with 2.8 M view, I think the state of Wisconsin would be willing to sponsor his travel visa to the US.
As a Wisconsinite born and bred I say you can never have too much cheese😆🥰these kids are great!
i've never been anywhere near wisconsin and yet when he said that wisconsin was the first thing that popped into my mind lol
Then the Wisconsin people should come out to the UK, we really like our cheese out here
Max is my favourite, along with Theo. He seems naive and gormless, but also a really nice kid. I teach high school and a class of Maxes and Theos would make work a great place to be.
That's got my vote
You know they love it when they say, "Oh my days." Lol. These videos are absolutely cracking!
For me it's when they say its proper good lol
I love how the one young man say, "oh my days!" When he's really impressed with the food! Lol great to see these guys enjoy really great fast foods and shakes!
The reason why the Frostie has a much more subtle flavor is that Dave didn’t want them to overwhelm the flavor of the burgers. Surprisingly, one of the key parts to achieving that was to combine both chocolate and vanilla into the mix.
When they brought out the frosty, I kept saying “They have to dip the fries in the frosty!!” I love seeing these kids getting older and guessing how they will react.
Best with the chocolate frosty.
Same!
It’s only right!
The Headmaster was like "you can steal my students for your content, but only if you feed me as well."
😂😂😂
Man's got a plan
And that’s why he’s the headmaster! Plus he’s charming af!!
Smart man!
Perks of the job
"Why are the patties square?" Because we don't cut corners in this line of work! 🤣🤣
The frosty isnt famous for flipping it upside down. Thats a blizzard from dairy queen
I was like "No don't do it! That's Dairy Q- oh it works with Frostys too. Ok cool"
Same.@@happymask8042
No it isn't
Right? And even DQ has had especially hot days where they've had to put up signage saying they can't do it at the moment.
wendys did it first
This is seriously one of my favorite series to watch on YT, the "British Highschoolers try" videos. Love them. The kids are just adorable, and I love their reactions! So honest!
Dave Thomas was adopted as a baby, worked for Colonel Sanders, came up with the red and white bucket for KFC, started Wendy's in 1969 in Columbus, Ohio (my home city/state), and became a big advocate for adoption starting a foundation under his name. The Frosty is my favorite "ice cream". And yes, you can't have a Frosty without dipping a French fries in it!
He also came up with “Finger Licking Good” for KFC
I grew up in a smaller town not too far from Columbus and I remember as a kid doing trips to the original COSI (Center of Science and Industry) which was right across from the original Wendy's location, which would be where we always grabbed lunch, and so I have really fond memories of it. It's unfortunate that it's no longer there as that location was more of a unique experience from the other chain locations.
This is cool trivia. I never knew this.
He also created the first drive thru.
Interesting info. Thanks.
“Dave’s a good man” made me chuckle so hard 😂❤
I feel like anyone who eats at Wendy's and actually enjoys it says Dave as though they actually know him. And that he's a good man
"Dave is a good man" got me
Omgosh...I wish Dave was still alive for that comment!!!
He truly is. One of the most generous and kindest person you could ever meet.
When the one kid said “They eat this regularly? They’re living life!” 😂

@@ariessstarThey did.
No, Wendy's Frosty used to be like wet cement. It wasn't going anywhere. Even upside down. I tested this many times. Now it's not strong enough to act as the mortar in the great Wall of China anymore.
These highschoolers and their headmaster are just so cute. Their reactions are so funny, whether they love or hate the items. I really enjoy these videos.

Its a common thing among the workers at Wendy's as well. Worked Grill for 2 years awhile ago. Love the Spicy Chicken with different sauces and pickles too

Dave Thomas began his restaurant career at Regas restaurant in my town, Knoxville, TN. It was open for 90yrs and finally closed down in 2010, much to the dismay of many Knoxvillians. I ate duck for the only time in my life at Regas for my wedding dinner appetizer.

Them:"Why not square buns with a square burger?"
Me: "Cause that's White Castle which was the first."
Edited quote: "White Castle also uses square patties - an invention that actually predates Wendy's. According to its history, the chain began in 1921 in Kansas by selling square hamburgers that were easy to eat and called “Sliders.” In 1954, White Castle added five holes to the patty so they could cook faster."
And Krystal here in the south 🙂
👍Great comment, because it didn't even enter my mind when he mentioned that and I've had White Castle plenty of times.
And from Ohio
Thanks as a canadian i never knew that
And the worst.
fun fact: the square shape serve to make better use of the grill than with traditional burgers. while the shape gives it a distinct look, it also allows them to cook more food in less time, giving them their reputation for "faster food". Yes, it is true that the speed of the past is not as it once was, but still runs laps around the likes of Mcdonalds.
“Can I have some more water please”, aww bless him.
I do like the occasional Frosty, but Dairy Queen's "Blizzard" is the one known for being safe to turn upside down for a short while after it's made :) "Chocolate" Frosties are good for dipping fries into.
Frosty is good with the spicy chicken sandwich and fries.
i mean you can’t go wrong with a 50cent frosty in the summer
I love how the banter between the headmaster and Josh&Ollie is different than the banter between the kids and Josh&Ollie, yet both funny and entertaining

"Better than McDonald's and all those fakes"
"If the whole world tried Wendy's, McDonald's would be bankrupt"

The issue is really consistency. McDonalds is consistently mid. If you have had a tough day, you migh settle for a con mid rather than trying to gamble for gold
McDonald's wouldn't go bankrupt, they outsell Wendy's globally.
@@KBWreckerwhat are you talking about...going to Wendys isn't a gamble
They always out perform McDonalds in the quality department
@@maddoxalucard6587 Not in my town they don’t. Around here McDonalds is consistently just-ok and Wendy’s is a gamble.
American grandmother here--these videos bring me such joy and laughter! All of you are so precious, and i know these food moments are a lot of fun for you to produce. Thank you for brightening my day!😊💖🇺🇸
Canada 🇨🇦 here, When i was your ages, i worked at Wendy's and i can honestly tell you, Wendys uses fresh products only. The cheese is NOT that fake processed stuff, the Frosty is actually a dairy dessert you eat with a spoon, the bacon is high quality applewood smoked bacon. The beef patties are made fresh daily from huge packs of fresh lean ground beef, its inserted into the top of a stainless steel patty press machine which presses meat into square pattes with wax liner sheets in between. The patties are stacked into stainless steel pans, covered in stretch wrap and refrigerated to only be used for that day. Any patties unused daily are cooked well done on the grill, then chopped and put into freshly made chilli which is also one of their products made with fresh sauce, their own spice mixture, the beef patties, and huge really rinsed well kidney beans. Its not overly spicy though..perfect really because anyone who prefers spicier food or chilli receive foil packettes of Wendys hot sauce to mix in. They also serve huge russet baked potatoes (if you prefer baked, instead of fries), which come plain (with butter) or sour cream and chives, or loaded with melted cheese and REAL bacon bits. Their chicken sandwiches are also fresh and pure 100% chicken breast meat, NO FILLERS. They also offer grilled chicken breasts if you prefer foods not fried, but grilled. Lastly, they have the most delicious healthy salad choices as well. The chicken ceasar compares to top restaurants, real cheese dressing, actual bacon broken up, garlic croutons and you can get it cold with warm fresh chicken chunks...so delicious!!! They have other assorted salads, all fresh, crisp and delicious. They even have a Taco salad, it comes with various lettuce types, shredded cheese, a container of chilli your pour on top, fresh sour cream, & a fresh packette of taco chips. The salads are large and a meal in themselves. Wendy's founder Dave Thomas named store after his daughter Wendy. He was adopted child and grew up into an amazing entrepreneur founding Wendy's restaurants with only the best ingredients. The fast food Wendys chains promote adoptions, have donation receptacles on the counters, and donation blitzes whereby if you donate $2.00 you receive a coupon for basically a free burger meal, so its valued more than your donation, at least here in Canada, not sure about the U S. Glad you all enjoyed the food. It was fun watching you all try it out and enjoying yourselves. You all seem to be such polite, well-raised, well-mannered young gentlemen. I was very impressed with you all. ❤ from Ontario, 🇨🇦 CANADA
Huh, I didn’t realize that they had Wendy’s in Canada. Thats cool to know!
That's cool! I used to work for Wendy's for a long time here in America. Did you guys have a secret menu? Like ours was a T-Rex burger, it was a Dave's Single but added 8 patties to the sandwich.
I love the chili but where I am they're gonna stop selling it. I'm not sure why.
@@Nulifenaction65 Unfortunately, it's probably simply because they don't sell enough. I personally like to get a side of chili to dip my burgers and fries into. But I can see that it's probably not the most commonly sold menu item.
Why is it so inexpensive? Makes me trust it less.
The paddy's are square so that meat hangs out of the bun. The sides of the paddy's are suppost to always reach the sides of the bun. So the square provides some extra meat in the corners. Worked at wendys for a couple years in high school and a coworker read that in Dave Thomas's autobiography. He really was big on quality, and why it's still my favorite fast food to eat.
These kids are amazing. Super kind and polite. With kids like these there is hope for the future.
I appreciate the good manners of these young fellas and how they express themselves.
I love it too. I’ve noticed my 15 year old son now says their slang like oh my days. He plays online with kids all over the world and it always amazes me the little things he picks up from each friend. But oh my days always makes me think of these adorable gentlemen.
Great seeing you Jolly people! Dave Thomas actually worked in my hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana, as a teenager. He worked at a restaurant called the "Hobby House" which was a purveyor of "KFC" chicken. Dave's story is absolutely incredible, and he was such a humble man. If you ready Dave Thomas' story versus Ray Kroc's story, you will be able to know why Wendy's is sooooo much better than McDonald's. IMHO Dave talks about who helped him to be a success, and Ray talks about who he "crushed" to become a success.
Little man's theory about chicken shops is the same as my theory on BBQ shops. You want them to have a corrugated plastic sign that's discolored and looks like it's been there for years.
"Hang in there, Wendy." LOL that was so u expected lol. Sending love from Florida!
Dave did the square patty to stand out and let you see that the patty is bigger than the bun itself and they do not freeze the meat it is always fresh and never frozen. Glad you guys love it!!!
I was hoping that someone would post the real reason here. Thank you!
If memory serves, they used to say Wendy's doesn't cut corners so you get more patty on your burger
@@ampj98 exactly
Also fit on he grill better
Worked there for three years. Can confirm that the burgers don't get frozen. Always love that that tidbit of information is true...
"The bacon makes everything better" - that man is the perfect fit for a job that influences young minds lol.
Bacon is also called the Duct Tape of food. You can use it damn near anything.

Wendys is criminally underrated
💯
@jamied931 - Not by me. LOL. Its the only burger oriented fast food chain I go to but I go for the salads.
its not underrated, its simply the most expensive. with so many other competitive prices why spend an extra $5 for practically the same product
@@reindeer7752I go for the salads too, but the nuggets and burgers are good too. Love the honey mustard sauce.
My Mom & brothers LOVE Wendy's, I never liked it growing up. We used to have to go to BK afterwards for me because I was 100% a shitty spoiled brat as a kid. I still can't stand the beef, for some reason I always get bone shards whenever I get burgers, but the fries and all their chicken stuff is very good, plus the veggies are always fresh. If you get the app it's almost always free every day, just have to buy a $0.99 juice box, def not expensive but still WAY more expensive than BK or McD if you just go without the apps
Love that the principal gets to partake in the trying the fast foods around the globe.
Thanks, enjoying the uploads. The students are hilariously funny and happy to eat. Most of all, open and honest with their assessment

@@samanthalawrence8942they already expressed their distain for it kel
8:21 I agree with the kid. Even here in America I find some of the best tasting food comes from little shacks that look like they haven't been updated since the 1950s. As long as they practice safe food handling and are sanitary, I don't care. I've been to newly opened restaurants that looked incredibly clean and have had the worst tasting food and have made me sick with food poisoning. That little dude knows what's up. 😊

@@au1317 👌 Exactly!
Exactly, if a Chinese food place has a B inspection rating, I know it's about to be some great food
"Where's the beef?!" was one of Wendy's best marketing campaigns. Little old lady was so funny. Iconic, for sure.
Yeah, they fired the old lady after a year for doing a commercial for another place in which she says - ‘I found it! I finally found the beef!’
Last time when I ate the bacon egg burrito. I was eating the burrito and I asked myself,"where's the bacon?". Then I saw some bacon bits in the burrito. I was deeply disappointed that I ate a scrambled eggs, potato, bell peppers and cheese burrito with a few pieces of bacon.
Clara Peller! She became a minor star for awhile.
Omgsh! I love how they cover their mouths when speaking. Good manners these kids!
Love the way these young men speak! So proper!
Dipping Chips in a Frosty is a thing in the U.S. In the 80s, when my son worked at Wendy's, the morning crew would press out burgers in a machine, from none frozen ground beef. The only thing frozen were the chips.
And the frostys 😂
I worked at Wendy's too at that time and every morning they would bring us fresh ground beef & we used that machine to stamp out the square shaped burgers that would go into metal bins for only that day. That is why the burgers taste so fresh & juicy ! By the way the Chili is mostly over cooked hamburgers from that day.
Why don’t you have more likes?
Trivia from someone who has eaten Wendy’s for their whole life: Wendy’s has the freshest burgers, never frozen, unlike most of the big burger chains. It’s why they just melt in your mouth and taste so delicious. They are square because the meat is seasoned and pressed into a large rectangle pan and cut into squares. It’s all done by hand everyday and not by a machine. Needs to be easy and quick for the employees. When Dave died his daughter Wendy named his famous burgers after him. So the burgers were not always called Dave’s Single or Dave’s Double, etc..
The "Always fresh, never frozen" standard for Wendy's is also why you won't find any in northern Canada. It's too hard to get fresh beef up there, so Wendy's refuses to allow any franchises in several areas up north.
I spent 2 minutes on chatgpt and got all that info and more. The square patties actually did start as a marketing scheme though, square is no easier than disc.
Trivia from someone who worked at Wendys [line coordinator] for 5 years in the late 80's, those burgers were never, ever, ever made by us.... they came delivered fresh every day or ever other day, depending how many we used. Never frozen, always fresh.
Any patties not sold in alotted fresh time were put in the refrigerator and chopped and boiled for the world famous chili the next day. Never kept more than one day, each batch of chili was made fresh in the morning.
Trust me, you could never get kids flipping burgers to cut those so perfectly... never.
@@shibalover54so did you guys end up throwing out most of your chili everyday? Is chili a popular item? Did you often run out of chili?
@@WARnTEA Depends on the branch but for the most part, its popular enough to rarely have more than 2 cups of chili leftover at the end of the day where I worked. Also while yes it can run out, (most of the time), there was another batch on the way with fresher meat due to extra burgers almost always being on the grill at any given time.
Having the ad cutoff being right when you ask "what am I dying of" and a St Jude's commercial immediately playing right after is wild

I’m obsessed with these videos! Love it!
The two boys sharing and eating their meals at the same time are so wholesome
The reason the pattys are square was like they said to stand out and also because Dave said they don't cut corners in quality like other fast food which then became their motto as well "No corners cut" or "We don't cut corners".
It sometimes even says it on the bags or burger wraps
Actually, I worked at Wendy's and we were taught working the grill to press each of the four corners with the spatula before and after a flip so that the cook on the burger happened equally and preventing any one corner of the burger being under or over cooked.
Having worked for Wendy's for three years in my early-mid 20's, it is my favorite fast food chain. Having also worked at McDonald's before that, the contrast in quality of food between the two chains is insane. As far as freshness and quality of fast food, Wendy's is top of the list.
My list of best fast food burgers best to least fave are DQ, Wendy's, BK, McD's. I'm from the Northeast so Five Guys is a decent burger but way overpriced & fries are a No.
Wendy’s was my first job at 16 and none of the other fast food chains match up in quality of food.
Wendy's is either good or cold and sloppy. I went last week and the fries and burger were cold, it didn't have all the toppings, and had cheese when I didn't order any. MCDs always gets it right; it's the same every time and at every store. Frosties are always good, though.
Wendy's has gone down hill, by the current billionaire owner who took over since Dave The Founder died. We won't go to our local Wendy's. They are rude to all customers, and the manager told me and a 90 yr old widow at another table, in an empty restaurant, that had 30 minutes each to eat and leave, otherwise we would be loitering! I had just gotten out of the hospital for gall bladder removal surgery. I can't eat fast.
I complained to corporate on my receipt. An equally unprofessional man banned me from being served!
Wow! Pay top dollar for a meal and $6 for a soda and get treated this badly?! Never again!
Wendy's now wants to charge customers higher prices for "premium hours".
The Cedar/Herndon, Fresno, Calif, Wendy's has lost many customers, angry at the bad treatment.
Wendy’s fries gave me heart burn, and I felt a little sad that I can’t eat Wendy’s anymore, but I also don’t want to die🙂
Square patties vs. round means you can get more on a square grill. Plus, the exposed square corners on a round bun give the impression of even larger meat portions. Plus/Plus...you can eat the corners first like an appetizer which is more fun than none at all.
Wendy's returned to the UK in 2021 after a 20-year break and has since opened just over 30 sites, including company-run and franchised restaurants as well as delivery kitchens. This has included four drive-through sites in Colchester, Peterborough, Derby and Brampton Hut.
So cool. Wendy's is top notch compared to other fast food franchises. That place is my go to.
"Dave is a good man." Yep. I was adopted in 1969, just like Dave's beloved adopted daughter, Wendy. He launched the business that year, and everything was named in her honor. ❤❤
Wow... thanks for sharing.
Not everything when he named multiple sandwiches after himself 😂😂😂
Dave was adopted, too.
I was adopted too and always knew about him.
Wendy was not adopted; Dave was.
I ain’t never seen someone struggle with a Wendy’s spicy nugget lol
Me neither usually even their ghost pepper items are tame enough that 99% of people can eat them with no problem
Those weak brit genes. They've conquered everything but all of the spices that they've stolen from the world.
they not used to eating food with seasoning lol
😂 my dad and brother are the same way. Dad literally struggles with black pepper too 😂
It’s the English. Flavour is a rumour there.
The burgers are square to show that Dave doesn't cut corners!😂😂😂😂
Canadian here. I work evenings/nights, and by the time I'm done work, fast-food restaurants are usually the only things open. I LOVE Wendy's, because they have a decent array of items that don't involve a slab of meat on bread. Their salad options are so good, and so are their baked potatoes! Also, unlike McDonalds, they don't price gouge you like crazy lol
So true. I miss the broccoli cheese potatoes! I used to get them all the time late at night on my way home from work- one summer in particular I pretty much lived off of them! :D
I really miss the Caesar side salad 🥗. It was the best! That and a baked potato was a perfect work lunch!
@@fatgirlhiking6250 🤯 No, really? They discontinued it where you are? No lie, I legit had one for dinner YESTERDAY (with a small poutine!!!)
Sometimes I think I halucinated the broccoli cheese baked potatoes lol.
@@lesmercredis they discontinued it years ago. Bummer
Retired food delivery guy here. Wendy's was one of our customers for a few years. The beef was never frozen. Sometimes we had to wait for the truck that would bring it from the meat plant that was by Boise Idaho. The lettuce on the sandwiches of course will be crisper if you eat it within 10 minutes of purchasing it. The nature of lettuce. It goes limp over time with heat.
Welcome back!!! I've missed you guys so much
I'd been (re)watching old videos to kind of seal the gap
Love these well-spoken young men! ❤️
These young school boys are delightful! They ALL are polite, speak so well, and all so cute! Lovely Brits!👏
