I Compared Wendy’s New Breakfast Sandwich To Starbucks & McDonald’s — One Was A Clear Winner

There's nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a hearty breakfast sandwich – a sausage patty, fried egg, and a nice layer of cheese, all comfortably sandwiched between a perfectly toasted English muffin. C'mon…what more can you ask for? Add in a refreshing iced coffee (my personal go-to) and a pair of crispy hash browns and you've got yourself the perfect on-the-go morning grub. Well, at least in my book.

Now, thanks to the breakfast revolution, most fast-food joints offer all-day breakfast, making it easier than ever to satisfy those breakfast sandwich cravings anytime you please. While McDonald's may have made the sausage, egg, and cheese classic famous, the fast food joint has got some stiff competition these days. Other fast-food favourites like Starbucks, Wendy's, and Tim Hortons have joined the breakfast party and are serving up their own renditions of this beloved breakfast staple.

Starbucks Canada's Pumpkin Spice Latté & New Fall Menu Are Coming WAY Early This Year

Starbucks has once again pushed up the arrival of its cult classic, the Pumpkin Spice Latte. As if 2023 wasn't chaotic enough, we now have to endure PSL mania a smidge earlier this year. As of August 24, prepare to get your fall on while it's still objectively summer outside.

Now, don’t get me wrong. The Pumpkin Spice Latte has its merits. The hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove makes for a pleasant sipper. And it’s basically become the unofficial mascot of “I can’t even” culture. But Starbucks, do we really need to rush the season? Some of us are still trying to enjoy our last gasps of summer, without being reminded that winter is looming.

A Starbucks Barista Went Viral On TikTok For Calling Out Absurd Custom Orders

Starbucks is known for accepting a high level of customization when it comes to signature drinks. A few extra pumps of vanilla syrup here? Sure thing. Some added chocolate sprinkles and whipped cream there? Absolutely. But apparently, some fans of the coffee chain have been taking things a bit too far, according to one barista who took to TikTok to blow off steam about absurd drink requests and her way of dealing with them.

"If you come into Starbucks and you order a Caramel Macchiato blended, you're getting a f***ing caramel frapp," Tiktoker @laney_duh told the camera point blank, still wearing her branded apron and visor.
