Wendy's Pulled Pork Cheese Fries Are The Saddest Meal
http://foodspin.deadspin.com/wendys-...eal-1641207963 This is not really a review of the Wendy's Pulled Pork Cheese Fries; in order for it to function as a review, I would have to go to a Wendy's location and say, aloud, to a Wendy's employee, "I will have the Pulled Pork Cheese Fries," and I can't even rehearse that without my hands literally punching me in the face of their own accord. -snip- Given the amount of effort and artifice that goes into these representations—given that the ad agencies and food stylists involved in their creation can do pretty much anything they need to do in order to render the food delicious-looking—it's always a bit ominous when you see one of them that still looks gross and unappetizing. -snip- With that in mind, scroll on back up to the top and take a gander at what Wendy's (and its various advertisement-producing partnerships) came up with when tasked with promoting the company's new pulled-pork poo-tine.

More deadspin sniffing its own farts. Even the commentors calling this one FoS. More often than not, goopy foods ladled over fries look like shit, taste like heaven.
