"Did You Mean 'Wendy's SQUID'?"

I was reading "Entertainment Weekly" just now and came upon an ad that offered this tasty proposition:

WOULDN'T A SOQUID* TASTE COOL RIGHT NOW?

Reading that, dear PeaceBanger, you could be forgiven for thinking, as I did, "Hell NO, a squid would NOT taste cool right now! What the hell is this?"

But then your eye would fall on the photos of three dishes of ice cream sprinkled with various candy, and to the following explanation,

* Solid + Liquid = Soquid. That's a Wendy's Frosty!

And then you would think, as did I,
Worst. Name. Ever.
Most Stupid Ad Campaign. Ever.

Someone's gotta lose their job over this. Maybe an entire department.

Try googling "Wendy's Soquid." If you've had a bad enough week, it may give you a fit of the giggles.

What about the McDLT, keeping the world safe from overly hot lettuce and tragically cool burgers...?

Soquid is indeed horrific. Why not just something simple like "Wendy's Frosty Ice Cream?"
