WATCH: The reaction of Stephanie Ruhle to the ‘cult-like force’ comment by Milano says it all
Wendy’s– which, by the way, has one of the best Twitter games in all time and space– recently decided to do a little experiment. They decided to give people the opportunity to fight for the return of spicy chicken nuggets.
Y’all keep asking, so here’s your chance.
The people in charge say if you guys can get our tweet (this one right here) to 2 Million likes, they will bring SPICY CHICKEN NUGGETS BACK.
Let’s freakin’ do this! https://t.co/qrtvWXjj9V— Wendy’s (@Wendys) May 4, 2019
As you can see, it worked. At the time of the publication of this post, the tweet had 2.22 million likes.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
Spicy Chicken Nuggets are coming back! Y’all are crazy!
That took like a day and a half! WHAT?!
We don’t know when yet, gotta figure it out, but soon, and ok, LOSING IT RIGHT NOW THIS IS AMAZING!!— Wendy’s (@Wendys) May 6, 2019

Time to rain on the parade. Cue Amy Schumer and Alyssa Milano.
Schumer, however, refused to allow the positive attention on Wendy’s to overshadow the recent protests against the company for not buying tomatoes from farms that enforce strict labor guidelines. The comedian, while announcing the gender of her baby, posted an Instagram on Monday asking social media users to boycott the company.
That’s peak activist. You can’t even focus on having a baby. You have to whine about Wendy’s, and you MAKE YOUR GENDER REVEAL IN THAT POST. WTH is wrong with you?
Wendy’s has responded to the criticism.
“This is a complex issue, but be assured that we do not purchase the field grown product that the Fair Food Program covers. In fact, Wendy’s is proud to only purchase tomatoes from indoor hydroponic North American farms,” Wendy’s statement read. “We are excited about the superior quality of these tomatoes, and this move further strengthens our commitment to responsible sourcing practices by providing safe, indoor working conditions, shelter from the elements and environmental contaminants, reduced water and land use burdens, and a significantly reduced need for chemical pesticides.”
“Further, all of our suppliers must adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct which includes requirements related to human rights and labor practices,” it added.
Cue Milano.
So yeah. These celebs are boycotting Wendy’s. (I seriously doubt they ate there anyway.)
