The Meal of Misfortune is centered around four mystery sauces inspired by the show. Fans can grab their own meal starting August 4 in Wendy's restaurants across the US.

Wendy's has announced a limited-time collaboration with Netflix's hit show Wednesday, set to launch nationwide on August 4. The partnership introduces the "Meal of Misfortune," a unique menu item centered around four mystery sauces inspired by the show, along with "Rest in 10-Piece" Nuggets, "Cursed & Crispy" Fries, and a "Raven's Blood" Frosty. The meal will be available in Wendy's restaurants across the United States, with the exception of Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Guam, where it will be available starting August 11 [1].

The collaboration is part of a broader marketing strategy by Wendy's to capitalize on the popularity of Wednesday. The meal is designed to be a limited-time offering, with custom packaging created by Wednesday Addams herself, adding a touch of the show's dark humor and style. The "Dips of Dread" sauces, including "You Can't Hyde," "This Will Sting," "Grave Mistake," and "Nowhere to Woe," are a central feature of the meal, with two mystery sauces accompanying each order. Customers must surrender to fate when it comes to selecting their dipping sauces, as the selection is random [1].

In addition to the meal, Wendy's has also launched an interactive game experience called "Escape from Wednesday's Woe," available only in the United States through the Wendy's app. The game features treacherous traps, delicious Wendy's x Wednesday treats, and exclusive rewards, with the chance to win $10,000 [1].

The collaboration is a strategic move for Wendy's, leveraging the popularity of Wednesday to drive customer engagement and sales. The company's U.S. Chief Marketing Officer, Lindsay Radkoski, noted that the partnership is not typical and highlights Wendy's commitment to challenging conventions with wit and boldness [1].
