Everything You Need To Know About Wendy's Breakfast

Wendy's might be better known for Frostys than biscuits, but that doesn't mean it's given up on giving its patrons a fresh meal in the morning. From the various menu items that vanished, to where everything is at today, here's the 411 on the fast food chain's rocky breakfast history.

Fast food breakfasts aren't typically considered a healthy option. However, Wendy's doesn't totally ignore those who want a nutritional breakfast. Oatmeal may not be the most exciting breakfast but its merits for improving cholesterol have been touted for years. Wendy's serves up plain jane oatmeal made up of the incredibly simple ingredients of oats, water, and cinnamon. If oatmeal's not your thing, you can opt for apple bites, which have only six grams of sugar, and that's about it for healthy options.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are plenty of greasy biscuit and croissant sandwiches. And the absolute big boy of Wendy's breakfast is the Breakfast Baconator. This burger masquerading as a breakfast sandwich is 770 calories of bacon, cheese, egg, sausage, and cheese sauce. That's nearly 2,000 milligrams of tasty sodium to start your day!

Wendy's has been around since 1969, and for a while it was all just square patty burgers and fries on the menu. It wasn't until 1985 that the chain decided to take a chance and start nationally offering its customers a fast and hot breakfast. Commercials touted Wendy's as the "fresh" option to more lackluster fast food breakfast competitors. The chain spent almost a year testing out its breakfast offerings, and it seemed poised to be a serious competitor to the likes of Burger King and McDonald's.

Wendy's new breakfast venture should've been a hit. After all, they were riding high off the popularity of their "Where's the beef?" ad campaign.
