'Wednesday'-themed Meal of Misfortune available at Wendy's: See what's in it
The limited-time meal, unveiled on – you guessed it – Wednesday, July 23, is centered around four mystery sauces called the "Dips of Dread," along with "Rest in 10-Piece" nuggets, small "Cursed & Crispy" fries, and a new Frosty flavor called "Raven's Blood." The items will all be served in custom packaging, according to Wendy's.
The meal, called the "Meal of Misfortune," will coincide with the release of Season 2 of "Wednesday" on Netflix. The show will be in two parts. Part 1 will premiere on Aug. 6 at 3 a.m. ET and Part 2 will be available on Sept. 3 at 3 a.m. ET.
The items will be at restaurants and via the Wendy's app nationwide beginning Monday, Aug. 4, according to Wendy's. In Canada, customers can get the meal in restaurants or via the Wendy's app starting Monday, Aug. 11.
The fast-food chain said the Meal of Misfortune will also be available at Wendy's locations in Puerto Rico, The Bahamas and Guam.
"Wendy's and Wednesday are both cultural icons famous for challenging convention with wit and a bit of sass," said Liz Geraghty, international chief marketing officer for The Wendy's Company, in a news release. "This isn't a typical collaboration, because not just any brand could scheme up a Meal of Misfortune with Wednesday Addams. But for a brand that's proudly customer-obsessed and unapologetically bold, it was a match made in dark, dry-witted heaven."
The meal has already gone viral as fans took to social media to chronicle their journey of waiting in line for hours for the meal at a restaurant in Norwalk, California, which held a special drive-thru event last week.

Wendy's said two mystery dipping sauces come in each meal, adding that "fate will decide which of the four dips" customers receive.
The four flavors are called:
"Don't bother asking which sauce you'll get – you must surrender to your destiny. Those brave enough to try them all must endure multiple visits," Wendy's said in the news release.

Hannah Burns 'Completely Cut' From ‘Perfect Match' Season 3
Netflix's Perfect Match season 3 just debuted last week, but already, there has been more drama offscreen than in the first six episodes of the series. For instance: Amber Desiree 'AD' Smith from Love Is Blind and Ollie Sutherland from Love Is Blind: UK have already announced their engagement (and pregnancy!). And more recently, Too Hot to Handle's Louis Russell made his red carpet debut with Love Island USA's Huda Mustafa (the latter of whom is not even on Perfect Match...) The latest drama: The Mole alum Hannah Burns claims Netflix won't let her go public with her fiancé/the father of her according to her, they 'completely cut' all her scenes from the season. Confused? Let's back up a bit. Hannah first raised eyebrows in late June, when she posted an Instagram suggesting she's gotten engaged on the upcoming season. '& now I'm engaged 🙊💍 Watch me find love on Perfect Match August 1st on @netflix,' she captioned a promo pic on June 25. Oh, and she also debuted a photo of what appears to be an engagement ring just over a week earlier on June 16. The plot thickened on July 16 when she announced that not only is she engaged—she's also expecting her first child. Naturally, fans began speculating that she'd met her mystery man on Perfect Match, and she kept the rumor mill turning with TikTok videos like this: And this: And while the identity of Hannah's fiancé is still not clear, she's now calling out Netflix for not allowing her to go public with her romance. In a TikTok posted on August 2, Hannah wrote, 'So, since my castmates from PM announced their engagement and fake relationships, can I be allowed to announce my BD/fiancé now or ????' She also added a caption reading, 'Like the double standard is INSANE.' She doesn't name names, but it seems preeeetty clear she's calling out her fellow castmates, AD and Ollie, who were allowed to go public with their post-Perfect Match relationship way back in March at the Love Is Blind season 8 reunion. THEN, in a second TikTok, Hannah wrote, 'Being told you have to keep your engagement a secret for six months only to find out you were completely cut from Perfect Match.' Oh? If you've already watched, then you know that Hannah doesn't appear in the first six episodes of Perfect Match. Presumably, she will be one of the new arrivals in a later episode if chosen for a date, but tbd!! Since Hannah is apparently unable to disclose any more deets, we'll just have to wait to find out who her IRL perfect match ends up being.
