both BK and McD used to sell a 1/3-lb burger for a while in the early-mid 00s. Wendy’s, too, IIRC. to my recollection, it did ok in sales, but was maligned for being “unhealthy”, and both chains stopped selling it shortly thereafter.
Meanwhile, modern Wendy’s is all, “Here’s three patties on a greasy bun slathered in ketchup/mustard/mayo, and if you manage to take a bite it’s all gonna come sliding out the other side like bloody pus. Comes with bacon as an option, too. Don’t forget your quart of sugar water.”

the bacon is for traction!
In a combo meal for only $14
No kidding, sometimes I have to take a napkin and wipe most of it off. Really excessive.
I was thinking the same thing! Sure, a 1/3 burger is bad for you but a baconator is totally fine.
