Wendy’s Meal of Misfortune Drops In Canada This August
Fans of dark humour and darker sauces, get ready: Wendy’s and Wednesday are teaming up for a meal that’s more misfit than happy. Launching in Canada on August 11, the new Wendy’s Meal of Misfortune brings a strange and spicy twist to your regular fast-food run.
A Not-So-Happy Meal

Wendy’s is teaming up with Netflix’s Wednesday for a limited-time collab that leans into the dark, dry humour of everyone’s favourite Addams. Launching August 11 in Canada, this campaign brings Wednesday Addams’ signature mood to the fast-food world, just in time for the season 2 Part 1 premiere of Wednesday on Netflix August 6th. With mystery elements built into each order, fans are invited to embrace fate and see what surprises await.
What You Can Get In The Meal of Misfortune

Designed by Wednesday herself, this meal skips cheer and dives into the dramatic. It includes:
- “Rest in 10-Piece” Nuggets
- Small “Cursed & Crispy” Fries
- Small “Raven’s Blood” Frosty®, a dark cherry dessert made with 100% Canadian dairy
- Two “Dips of Dread” mysterious sauces chosen at random
“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. “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.”
Try New Dip Flavours With the Dips of Dread

Each Meal of Misfortune comes with two randomly selected dipping sauces from a lineup of four:
- You Can’t Hyde
- This Will Sting
- Grave Mistake
- Nowhere to Woe
There’s no picking and choosing. You won’t know which sauces you’re getting until you open the box, and that’s the whole point. Like fate, it’s out of your hands. If you want to try all four, you’ll have to come back for more.
The Wendy’s Meal of Misfortune delivers a one-of-a-kind twist. Get yours starting August 11 and find out what fate has in store. Craving more ways to switch up your meals? Check out our picks for the 12 Best Healthy Meal Kits in Canada.
