“We like our tweets the way we like our fries: hot, crispy, and better than anyone expects from a fast food restaurant,” Wendy’s Twitter profile says. 

Listed below are some of the best roasts of companies.

Uber Eats: Wendy’s took on several food delivery companies during its roasting session including Uber Eats, the food delivery unit of Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER).

T-Mobile: Communications company T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS) asked for a 10 piece spicy nugget roast and they quickly found themselves getting called out for their potential lackluster network.

Axe: Deodorant brand Axe from Unilever (NYSE: UL) found itself the target of appealing to a certain demographic.

Benzinga: Benzinga asked to be roasted by Wendy’s and found itself on the receiving end of a common misconception of the company’s name. The name Benzinga comes from company founder and CEO Jason Raznick.

“It’s a made up word,” Raznick said recalling how him and his grandfather used to create words together. “(I) went to a speech tutor, made up words.”

Benzinga has become a well-known brand across many verticals including financial news, financial events, cannabis news and the evolving world of cryptocurrency.

Raznick said the company wanted a name that didn’t have other meanings. So while Sheldon Cooper famously said “Bazinga!” on “The Bing Bang Theory” for years, it had nothing to do with the Benzinga company. 

is this a big bang theory thing?#NationalRoastDay
