G. I had a Wendy's chili years ago. It was OK. Had it been selling for $1, it would have been excellent chili! I think the hot potato was $3. I've never had it. If it was $1, no doubt I'd have eaten it. Looks like I'll buy anything for a dollar. :-) |

Girl at window said, can't give you this one, too bad looking. Took other one home. Boy was that bad, hate to see the other. Their chili is much like mother made, ok by me. Greg |
