Thread Name: OBIT: Dave Thomas-'Where's the Beef?'
Subject: RE: OBIT: Dave Thomas-'Where's the Beef?'
I've been favoring Wendy's a lot lately for my fast food because I'm wearing braces. His crispy chicken nugget five piece is easy to eat and doesn't get hung up in the wires. It's also the only fast food chicken that tastes like chicken. I always liked it as a place to take the kids on our budget. I could feed three of us for under $10. Now they're big, it isn't quite as inexpensive. . .

I agree with folks above. I enjoyed his commercials. During last year's strike by members of the union representing actors in advertisements Thomas honored the strike, until it became clear that it was impacting his employees too heavily. He decided to resign his membership and resume making commercials, but he was upfront about why, the hardship his absense was causing. Tough choice to make, but he made it for the humane reason.
