As we discovered last year after a beef with Burger King, the person behind Wendy’s snarky Twitter account is a certifiably incredible human being. The Twitter burn towards a troll earlier this year is one of the all-time savage Twitter burns, causing a troll to delete his account in embarrassment.
This afternoon, Wendy’s reloaded with fresh square patties and headed back to the beef war trenches to fight one of their biggest enemies. McDonald’s announced that their Quarter Pounder burgers will be cooked with fresh beef.
Today we've announced that by mid-2018, all Quarter Pounder burgers at the majority of our restaurants will be cooked with fresh beef. pic.twitter.com/Bdf99ALlxw

Wendy’s — who doesn’t freeze their beef in the first place, along with chains like Shake Shack, Five Guys, and In-N-Out, ran with an opportunity to put the Golden Arches in a body bag:
.@McDonalds So you’ll still use frozen beef in MOST of your burgers in ALL of your restaurants? Asking for a friend.

Wendy’s even used a response from Cris Crocker, the “Leave Britney Alone” guy, to troll the fast food giant:
LEAVE MCDONALDS ALONE!!!!!!

The responses to others jumping in and out were pure gold:
you starting beef with @McDonalds ?

We'll stick to our fresh beef. They can have those ice chips they're serving.
