Who Wants Free Wendy’s?

frosty.jpgToday’s your lucky day! Very supposedly, the PR firm that represents the purveyor of Frosties is sending a girl dressed as Wendy around to the “sell-side guys” who cover the company and is handing out $25 gift cards as we speak. Apparently she’s been to Neuberger Berman already, is on her way to JPMorgan and “has plans to make all the stops.” No idea who thought this would be a good idea but obviously the genius of this stunt will soon reveal itself. Her name is Melissa. Enjoy.

    Enjoy the Frosties or the girl dressed as Wendy? Don’t usually dig the redheads, but I plan to do both (ideally at the same time).

    I think this calls for a Frosty challenge. 6 Frosties in 1 hour.

    Frosty and a blumpkin? Heaven!

    I used to cover Waste Management on the sell side. David Steiner and his team used to come around and take a dump on each and every one of our desks.

    In Dave Thomas’ autobiography, the founder of Wendy’s tells the hilarious tale of watching “Col.” Harlan Sanders get in a fist fight with a restaurant owner who criticized Col. Sanders’ Kentucky Fried Chicken. Col. Sanders was selling his way of cooking chicken to restaurant owners out of the trunk of his Cadillac in the ’50s.

    If she’s looking, tell her to meet me on the roof of 85 Broad. That’s where money (and a slew of beat secretaries) never sleeps.

  25. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 10:40 AM

    I used to cover Smuckers and their gal came around frequently until she got into a jam.

    @17 FUCK ME. I pride myself on my posting etiquette. That TRIPLE post was shameful.

  27. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 10:43 AM

    @25…the Frito – Lay people used to chip away at our business.

  28. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 10:44 AM

    The guys on our retail desk used to get crotchety if the Victoria’s Secret lady hadn’t been seen in quite a while.

  29. Posted by NakedShort | October 8, 2009 at 10:46 AM

    Wait until the Snickers people come by to pitch their Chewtual Funds

  30. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 10:47 AM

    Now that you all mention it, the Cabela’s folk used to lure us into seeing them.

    I worked sell side for La Perla.

    Energizer folks were good people, too. We always got a charge when they kept us informed of current events.

    terrible you guys (girls?), just terrible

  35. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 10:54 AM

    $25 gift card from a girl dressed as Wendy? That sure beats last year’s bonus of a shiv up the ass from a woman dressed as the Queen of England.

    I covered sell side for Kotex….Ugh! Don’t even ask…

  38. Posted by NakedShort | October 8, 2009 at 10:58 AM

    I found the Trojan reps a tad annoying they were always coming when we weren’t ready.

  39. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 10:58 AM

    I am sell side Goldmans. Bask in my prestige, plebeians!

  40. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 10:58 AM

    Personally I prefer the Red Bull bitches.
    Anybody have first-year frosty-mule numbers?

  41. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 11:05 AM

    @29 I thought they were Muchewal Funds

  42. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 11:07 AM

    The KY reps are always so invasive. On the plus side, it is impossible for them to pitch their product without making us lubed up and ready for insertion.

    I’d rather an egg cream. But she’s about the right age.

    In re Wendy….HB needed for TF or not?

  54. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 1:31 PM

    @53 no HB needed. cans were huge.

  55. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 2:04 PM

    There simply must be pictures of this somewhere.

  56. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 2:10 PM

    This is a serious conflict of interst.
    What will the disclosures look like on this one?

  57. Posted by guest | October 8, 2009 at 3:24 PM

    The girl portraying Wendy is my secretary. Those frosty cups were empty before our daily meeting at (on) her desk.
