All right...I had to finally come out of hiding in order to share my seething hatred for this new Wendy's bit. I searched to see if it had already been done, but I found nothing.

I live in a house with two extremely irritable people, and the sound of people chewing food makes them go nuts. Previous to viewing this commercial, I thought I was the patient, reasonable one in the house. Now, whenever I hear the little tinkling music and sounds of smacking wet lips, I want to take a leisurely stroll down to the park and start headbutting small children.   :(
Or...you know. Mute the TV or something.

The current bane of my existence:

That is ******* disgusting...it literally angers me.  When are these idiot ad execs going to learn that mouth noises, food on faces, etc. is completely gross?  Whom do they think will actually get a smile out of this gluttonous display?  Angry  Thank goodness I haven't seen it air around here yet!!

GAAAAHHH! I could barely make it through the whole 20 odd seconds of thaat! Its really disgusting. I don't eat at Wendy's and they've now successfully convinced me that I never will!
 
Really, that was sickening.

As a Wendy's fan (I personally think it's the best fast food place, with BK as a close second), this one disgusts me to the core. Don't these guys realize people eat when they watch TV (I do anyway)? I don't want to have a gag reflex during the commercials.

Ugh...I get where they were going with this, and the baby is cute enough that it COULD be bearable, but it still fails. If I'm eating something messy I'm wiping my mouth or hands every 5 seconds. I can't just go at it and clean up the disaster after.

Thankfully I've never seen this on tv. Knock on wood.

The only thing this ad does is remind me of how messy Wendy's burgers are to eat.  And watching babies eat is never appetizing.  Doesn't exactly make me want to go there for dinner tonight.

GOD I HATE LIP SMACKING. Who the hell decided long ago that the louder you eat a food the more enjoyable people will think it is? Also I hate the weird bulgey eyed wiggle the baby does at the end. It's almost like it's cgi or not a real baby.

I've seen it up close, unfortunately....the mysterious food pile resembles some sort of meaty corkscrew pasta that was dumped onto the tray.

This one is a definite full family D/VPA nominee.  Why in the hell do these advertising imbeciles think that messy eating is clever or cute??  For the sake of decency,  I really wish that the rules about showing alcohol product consumption in commercials applied to food products as well.

I like it, actually, except for the kid's wiggle. The mom is a turn-on.

I have learned on this site, however, that eating really bugs people. Luckily, these days, any little drip on the lip can be obliterated post-production.

Don't ever see Tom Jones or Tampopo. Great movies, but none of you could handle them without going back to your parents' reactions to your messiness as a kid.

You know, seeing a couple of slobs and their ugly kid smearing their faces with partially regurgitated food does NOT want to make me want to go out and get myself a cheeseburger from Wendy's.

This is disgusting. Why do ad executives think that showing people with food splattered on their faces is appetizing in the slightest? This does not make me hungry, it makes me want to f**king vomit.

Honestly, I've always wondered why people find babies with food allover their face to be cute. Personally, I think it's repulsive. I mean, I've never found babies to be cute anyway, but this commercial cements the fact in my mind. It's now etched in stone, ladies and gentlemen.

Seriously, I don't understand you people- I adore this commercial! Hating this commercial is like hating a commercial with puppies or cats in it. And, before you think I have kids, I don't and I normally hate people who eat with their mouth open but come on...this baby is damn cute!
 
My two cents..
