My digestive system wondered how much misfortune Wendy’s x Wednesday Meal of Misfortune would cause it. Because the meal’s main highlights are the two spicy mystery flavor chicken nuggets dipping sauces included, my mouth, stomach, and digestive tract were concerned about how spicy they could be. Will they have to contend with digesting and processing Wendy’s Takis heat all over again? Well, there’s only one way to find out.

The Meal of Misfortune features:

• Rest in 10-Piece Nuggets (just regular nuggets, but can be swapped for Spicy Nuggets)
• Small Cursed & Crispy Fries (just regular fries)
• Dips of Dread, which are four “inferno-inspired” mystery sauces. They include You Can’t Hyde, This Will Sting, Grave Mistake, and Nowhere to Woe. While there are four total sauces, two of them are added randomly with every meal.
• A small Raven’s Blood Frosty, which is a
  Vanilla Frosty with a dark cherry swirl, served in a Wednesday-themed cup, and with a “Spoon of Gloom.” You can also get it with a Chocolate Frosty.

The limited time meal inspired by the hit Netflix show is supposed to come in Wednesday-themed packaging, but as you can see in the photo above, by pure mischance, mine didn’t, except for the paper bag my order came in.

Let’s start with the Mystery Sauces, which is an idea that every fast food chain should adopt. (Also, why weren’t these called “Mistery Sauces”?)

The first one I opened had an unexpected purple color that made me wonder if the demented person who runs Wendy’s social media accounts had melted Grimace to make the sauce. It had a Tabasco-ish flavor to it, and had a spiciness that I’d put at a 3-4 on my personal heat index.

The second one was a blood red, and spicy ketchup came to mind the moment I tasted it. It’s probably as hot as the purple one, which means my digestive system was misapprehensive. I enjoyed both a lot and I wouldn’t mind getting them randomly again.

If you’re not into spicy sauces, you can get the nuggets with ranch or whatever sauce on the menu that would make you dance like Wednesday Addams.

While the sauces weren’t as spicy as I was expecting, the Raven’s Blood Frosty extinguished whatever lingering heat quickly. While it’s supposed to be dark cherry-flavored, my taste buds thought differently because the sauce didn’t taste like anything cherry-flavored I’ve had before. I kept thinking it tasted more like mixed berries. I guess my taste buds were mistaken. Overall, it’s an okay Frosty Swirl, but it’s not as satisfying as other Frosty Swirl varieties, and I wouldn’t order it again.

I’m not sure Wendy’s x Wednesday Meal of Misfortune is a meal that’s worth misappropriating funds for. While my digestive system believes the Mystery Sauces are worth a try, it doesn’t feel the same about the meal’s Frosty.
