  • How Tim Hortons Lost Canada (Then Tried to Buy It Back) #177
    Jun 8 2026
    This week, Harley and Big Lynch break down how Tim Hortons went from owning Canada (eight out of ten cups of coffee, double-doubles, Timbits, Roll Up the Rim) to getting branded anti-Canadian. The guys get into the hockey-player founder, the 2014 sale to the Burger King owners in Brazil, the "always fresh" par-bake reality, the franchise squeeze, and the temporary foreign worker firestorm that dragged Tims into Canada's youth unemployment rage. Plus: the fact sheet Tim Hortons dropped to defend itself, why Dunkin' marching back into Canada might be the thing that saves them, Crumbl naming a 186-gram dirty soda after the boys, the unwritten laws of golf attire, and an investigation into Harley's hair.

  • How Wendy's Lost the Beef and 50% of Their Stock #176
    Jun 1 2026
    This week, Harley and Big Lynch break down how Wendy's spent decades trying to replace Dave Thomas and ended up posting their worst quarter in 20 years, with the stock down 50%, 600 stores closing, and CEO Kirk Tanner bailing to run a chocolate company. Big Lynch delivers a full PREsentation on the rise of Wendy's, Dave Thomas, the high-school dropout and Colonel Sanders protégé who founded the chain in 1969, the 1984 "Where's the Beef?" campaign that spiked sales 31%, the 800+ commercials that made Dave the entire brand, and the recent struggles that one of Double Dusted's favourite fast food restaurants now faces. Plus: AI data centers melting your bones, the "AirPods made me fat" documentary pitch, the Saudis buying up golf, Ferrero's $8B US shopping spree, the Halo Top alleged air scam, and evaluating the Pizza Hut Crust Platform.

  • Why McDonald's Was Sorry for Selling 100 Million Happy Meals #175
    May 25 2026
    This week, Harley and Big Lynch break down how McDonald's accidentally caused the biggest fast food promotion disaster in history: selling 100 million Happy Meals in 10 days during the 1997 Teenie Beanie Baby craze and having to publicly apologize for it. Big Lynch delivers a full PREsentation on the history of the happy meal, the $1 billion 1996 Disney exclusive deal that nuked the toy arms race, and cover some of the other great fast food toy promotions. The boys discuss how 75% of family fast food trips are kid-driven, why toys went from afterthought to the entire reason you buy the meal, the Pizza Hut Book It program flanking McDonaldland, Burger King's 1989 Kids Club move, and the Pizza Hut Metal Gear Solid demo crossover. Plus: Donnie's tenant catching him on camera doing dirt in their living room for an hour, the Planet Fitness jerk chicken treadmill cup holder girl, the Batman glass collab being undefeated, Tim Sparks converting 80 Pizza Hut locations back to red roof Classics, White Castle's vending machine empire, Milka's German shrinkflation ruling, and Wendy's new CEO Bob Wright walking into five straight quarters of declining sales.
