Mark January 20th, 2016 on you calendars Bros, because it’s a day that’ll go down in history. Why? Because it’s the day Wendy’s and Burger King got into a Twitter fight that lasted exactly three tweets but made over 20,000 people on Twitter be like:
‘Twas a normal day on the Internet: the sun was shining (metaphorically), the grass was green (metaphorically) and the webpages were loading (not metaphorically). Wendy’s, realizing that today was just as good a day as any to plug their own shit on Twitter, sent out the following message:

The real burn comes from Wendy’s in a response to user @bguerns13’s tweet, who asked “what are you firing back”:

Burger King still hasn’t responded, but I think the winner here is clear – and now you’re just like one of the 20,000+ Twitter people who be like:
