Sure, I like bacon as much as the next guy but the Baconator from Wendys is really, really bad. Worse yet it replaced the Big Bacon Classic.

We went there for lunch a few weeks ago and I thought I would give it a chance. What I got was two patties, a bunch of Wendy's lame excuse for bacon and melted cheese. There was no lettuce or tomato or onion. It was not pleasant to eat this sandwich because it was so heavy.

The BBC was a nice blend of veggies and meat which combined to form a great sandwich. I looked up the nutrition info and the Baconator is almost twice as bad for you as the BBC.

There is a petition to save the BBC here.

NOTE: some people have reported that the BBC is still available in the speciality sandwiches section of the menu.
