A Wendy’s customer went viral on TikTok after exposing the fast-food chain for allegedly getting rid of its popular 4 for $4 meal deal.
The customer, Krissy Lyn (@krissylyn), posted the video, which has received over 1.4 million views. In the video, Lyn zoomed in on the deals section of a Wendy’s drive-thru menu. The “4 For $4” and another deal were darkened.
“WENDY’S GOT RID OF THE 4 FOR 4 AND THE BIGGIE BAG,” Lyn wrote in on-screen text.
“I cant believe @wendys and inflation did this to us,” she added in the caption.
What is Wendy’s 4 for $4?
Since 2015, Wendy’s 4 for $4 deal gave customers the choice of sandwiches. They could choose between a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger, Crispy Chicken BLT, or Double Stack to accompany their four-piece nuggets, Junior Fry, and a value drink—all for $4.
As of now, the 4 for $4 meal deal only comes with a Jr. Cheeseburger. If customers want a choice like before, they have to order the $5 Biggie Bag.
This allows customers to choose between a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger, Crispy Chicken BLT, or Double Stack to accompany four-piece nuggets, small fries, and a small drink.

In the comments section of Lyn’s video, several viewers expressed disappointment that the deals may be gone.
“Not worth going anymore then. I’m not paying 20 dollars for 2 meals,” one viewer commented.
“Only reason why I went to Wendy’s,” a second wrote.
“I’m so tired of inflation,” another complained.
Other viewers were skeptical that the items were discontinued.
“That’s just a blown fuse lmao I ordered one yesterday,” one viewer claimed.
“Idk mine still has them ??” another wrote.
Viewers who claimed to work for Wendy’s also weighed in on the discussion.
“I’m a manager and we haven’t heard this at my location lol only that we’re adding a biggie bag for breakfast,” one user commented.
“It’s true :/ I work at Wendy’s and there gonna make it a $6 biggie bag with the bacon double [stack] or crispy chicken blt,” another claimed.
Wendy’s has previously come under fire online. A man’s TikTok claimed that Wendy’s reduced the size of their Frosty. Another person alleged that Wendy’s served them a large strawberry lemonade that was only three-quarters full.
Does Wendy’s still have the 4 for $4 meal deal?
As of September 2023, only the $5 Biggie Bag deals seem to be available on the Wendy’s website. However, Wendy’s released an article on Aug. 29, 2023, saying that they still sell the 4 the $4 Meal Deal.
The Daily Dot reached out to Wendy’s via email to confirm whether they are still being offered. The Daily Dot also reached out to Krissy Lyn via TikTok comment.
