Spicy Chicken War
July 14, 2006McDonald's is waving the white flag.
In the land of food wars, Wendy's has delivered the one-two combo to the chicken fast food giant.
After a couple of months McDonald's is pulling its Spicy Chicken Sandwich off its menu in favor of some other snack food.
And Wendy's is heating up the competition even more, so to speak.
Soon they will amp the volume on their already spicy sandwich and make a "4-alarm" chicken sandwich.
I can't wait.
I'm guessing one of the reasons McDonald's spicy chicken sandwich failed, was basically, because it sucked.
Big Time, with a capital T.
Now that I think of it, all the chicken sandwiches at McDonald's are better left off the menu. The only thing worth a damn at that fast-food hut is the Big Mac and Chicken McNuggets.
They reinvented their "restaurants," or eating areas, a while back to attract a new crowd and keep the ones they have.
Main reasons of success for that company are kids and old people looking for a place to sip some coffee and talk in the early hours.
It's the breeding grounds for AARP meetings, great-grandparent conventions and gin rummy discussions.
Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich has dominated the market for years. And with them revealing a spicier one, I'll be waiting at the counter.
I can get enough of good spicy food.
You have to dial it down from time to time, but I like that burning sensation when I eat. Nothing's better than sniffling your nostril off all meal long.
So as McDonald's turns their back on the spicy chicken sandwich, I will again start to turn my back on them.
I can't boycott the giant...they have the best sausage biscuit and hash browns around.

Hottest sandwich I ever had...the Flamethrower Burger at Dairy Queen.
I love spicy chicken and all...but that burger (complete with jalapenos, jalapeno cheese, jalapeno bacon and habanero mayo) was rediculously spicy.
