Really? I found them stale and tasted/smelled like bum/bun instead of bacon. Even bad fake bacon flavour usually is good.
Same. I thought they tasted bad.
So they really did capture the Wendy’s flavor, then?
I mean, could they be much worse than Pringles already are?
These are proper bacon flavour starch snacks:
I bought bacon jerky once. It just tasted like cold, super greasy bacon. Did not enjoy it.

That looks like something my dogs would enjoy.
I like Wendy’s :( They are not as good as say, Shake Shack but I’m not gonna turn my nose at some hot burgers.

Canadian Wendy’s now has a “Korean BBQ” that has nothing Korean about it:

May not be Korean but I would gladly eat one.
I’d eat it. It looks like a pretty standard BBQ cheeseburger. I agree that I can’t see anything about it that seems Korean. Maybe a cultural thing, is Korean BBQ really popular in Canada? I’m guessing that their marketing people thought “Korean BBQ Cheeseburger” would get more attention than just “BBQ Cheeseburger” so they went with it.

Put Kimchee on it you cowards!

Is that what this is supposed to be? “mix of pickled red onions?”
Well, okay, “good” might be a stretch. I’d eat them if someone handed me a tube, but I probably wouldn’t pick that flavor out of the lineup at the store. It hit enough recognizable bacon/cheese/mustard/ketchup notes that it registered as a decent bacon cheeseburger potato chip.

On th eother hand, this tasted like relish and mustard mostly.

Yeah it doesn’t sound very Korean to me. It’s just sweet BBQ and some spice on bacon?

Yeah probably. Every “Korean” burger I’ve had from non-fast food restaurants is usually made with kimchee, maybe some pork belly/bacon and some gochujang-ish sauce. There are other ways to make a burger korean I presume, but that seems to be the most popular that I’ve seen.
Nothing screams Korean cuisine quite like … um… jalapeño jack cheese? I went to the Wendy’s web site and the BBQ sauce contains soy sauce and ground ginger so I suppose that’s what makes it vaguely Korean.
