The idea for Wendy's Super Bowl ad stemmed from a spat the brand had with someone on Twitter (TWTR, WEN)

Published by Business Insider on Mon, 30 Jan 2017


Wendy's will air its debut Super Bowl ad during the big game this year ' and the idea for the commercial all stemmed from a public spat the restaurant chain had with a user on Twitter.Late lastmonth Wendy's tweeted out a photo, saying its beef is "way too cool to ever be frozen."Our beef is way too cool to ever be frozen. ' pic.twitter.com/QuXECJtlq5' Wendy's (@Wendys) December 30, 2016Twitter user "Thuggy D" incredulously responded:@NHride Sorry to hear you think that! But you're wrong, we've only ever used fresh beef since we were founded in 1969.' Wendy's (@Wendys) January 2, 2017And so the back-and-forthcontinued:@NHride Where do you store cold things that aren't frozen'' Wendy's (@Wendys) January 2, 2017Until the final mic-drop moment:@NHride You don't have to bring them into this just because you forgot refrigerators existed for a second there.' Wendy's (@Wendys) January 2, 2017That exchange started somewhat of a roast-spree, with Wendy's sending a slew of sassy tweets.In a press release announcing the Super Bowl ad, Wendy's said its research found seven in 10 consumers did not believe it really serves fresh beef.Wendy'shopes the ad ' which shows a man trying to defrost a pile of frozen burgers with a hairdryer ' will educate consumers that it doesn't serve frozen patties, unlike other chains. To that end, the ad's final call-to-action is "Othr-guyz.com," which leads to the website of a fictional chain that sells frozen burgers that have lots of practical uses, but can't be eaten.The commercialwill air in the first half of the game and was created by ad agency VML.
