[UA] Possible burger war?

[Tim Groth]

Hm.  This makes Wendy's an interesting player in all of this.  Built by the
common man, for the common man, old fashioned, picking the image of a common
girl as the mascot.  Perhaps, given the God-fearing nature of the founder
(IIRC), Wendy's is an attempt to break the occult stranglehold on fast food
burger joints.  Or, at least the noble/courtly strain of occult
stranglehold.

-Tim, who was planning to have dinner with the King tonight.
