8. Wendy’s Chili
Wendy’s chili is one of the more controversial fast-food items out there. Some love it, but many are surprised to learn it’s made from leftover hamburger patties. While this may reduce waste, it doesn’t exactly sound appetizing. The meat is often dry from being cooked twice, and the texture can be inconsistent—sometimes chunky, sometimes mushy. The beans and tomato base are heavily seasoned, possibly to mask the repurposed beef. On top of that, it contains a hefty amount of sodium. If you’re craving chili, you’d do better grabbing a can from the grocery store or making a quick homemade batch. At Wendy’s, stick to the baked potato instead.
