This headstone in a Californian graveyard

[u/Deathisfatal]

[u/interatria]

Oh… but Wendy’s has square burger patties… :(

[u/Traditional-Ad2409 → u/interatria]

This person is probably rolling in their grave right now

[u/FzZyP → u/Traditional-Ad2409]

weeeeeeeee

[u/futuneral → u/Traditional-Ad2409]

I'm sure they will come around

[u/elliottlawrence94 → u/Traditional-Ad2409]

Rolling better than a Wendy’s burger, because they are square

[u/SeismicFrog → u/interatria]

Sir… This is a cemetery.

[u/5WattBulb → u/interatria]

I just hope Wendy's / fast food wasn't the cause of their death.

[u/EntrepreneurBusy3156 → u/5WattBulb]

More than likely, Moderna….

[u/DrSeussFreak → u/interatria]

They had 1 fucking job

[u/CasualObservationist → u/interatria]

Because Dave Thomas didn’t like to cut corners. He applied that philosophy to the burgers as well. (Per his book)

[u/locabynature → u/interatria]

that was my first thought. this one must be old.

[u/GetYerThumOutMeArse → u/locabynature]

Wendy's has never had round burgers.

[u/locabynature → u/GetYerThumOutMeArse]

well as Wendy's was created long before I was born, I wouldn't know what they had. maybe the people who had the burger stone made didn't know or just didn't care if it was historically accurate.

[u/WeakDetail6750 → u/interatria]

I've had Wendy's a ton.. SINCE WHEN WERE THEY SQUARE

[u/interatria → u/WeakDetail6750]

1969

[u/healthygangsta → u/interatria]

No they have round ones too lol

[u/bajungadustin → u/healthygangsta]

Literally all their burgers are square. Even the kids meals.. Even the sausage patties for breakfast are square.

The only time you may have incorrectly assumed it was round is when all the grease mushed the corners in after it was wrapped.

[u/healthygangsta → u/bajungadustin]

Yeah I guess I never paid attention before scarfing it all down. I just thought oh I guess they make round ones too

[u/rogerworkman623 → u/healthygangsta]

They don’t cut corners at Wendy’s

[u/signmeupnot]

I'm confused as an European. Is this not a common headstone in the US?

[u/Pdub77 → u/signmeupnot]

Must be from Hamburg

[u/RyanIrsyd08 → u/Pdub77]

Hamburg errr, are you sure it's there?

[u/TheDaddyShip → u/RyanIrsyd08]

<slow claps>

[u/goodpplmakemehappy → u/RyanIrsyd08]

Say that again...

[u/doyletyree → u/signmeupnot]

Meh, it’s ok but it’s second rate.

The Primo models have a working soda fountain.

The effervescence in the drinks is created through the gases from your decomposing corpse.

[u/signmeupnot → u/doyletyree]

🦅🫡

[u/doyletyree → u/signmeupnot]

Ok, I tried and tried; what is the first emoji, please?

My best guess is that it’s a witch playing air guitar with her broom.

[u/Catkit69 → u/doyletyree]

Eagle

[u/doyletyree → u/Catkit69]

Heard, " 'murica".

[u/Iccarys → u/doyletyree]

Hell yea, brother!

[u/Whale-n-Flowers → u/doyletyree]

I'll also add that this corpse-a-cola is considered one of the few saintly deeds us common Americans can provide.

When the fizz runs flat, we take the remainder for corpse-starch rations.

[u/CrucifixAbortion → u/doyletyree]

Munga Cola.

[u/doyletyree → u/CrucifixAbortion]

The chemical opposite of Surge Cola.

"Not dead inside enough? Throw back a grave-cold Munga and sink into the sweet release of eternity."

Ugh. Sometimes, I hate my ideas. Thank God there's Reddit so that these intrusive thoughts can be exorcised upon the unwilling masses.

[u/OckhamsFolly → u/doyletyree]

I dunno man, when I hear “mung” I do not think cold, sweet, or release.

I would imagine it is one of the most disturbing of things that could disturb your rest.

[u/Relevant_Winter1952 → u/signmeupnot]

If you don’t choose a custom option, then yes, this is the default template

[u/AccurateArcherfish → u/Relevant_Winter1952]

I plan on upgrading to a second patty and large fries for mine.

[u/Bad_river_exile → u/signmeupnot]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/ahushedlocus]

Sir, this is a graveyard...

[u/161frog → u/ahushedlocus]

I have zero moneys so here’s my broke ass award 🥇

[u/valeavy → u/161frog]

ZERO MINEY

[u/Olivejuice2012 → u/valeavy]

I know exactly what you are referencing

[u/graycivy]

It looks cool to me. If I die, I'd rather have a funny grave like this than a cold common stone saying ''he was a broke ass but good man, family history XYZ...'' or something.

[u/Princess_Slagathor → u/graycivy]

if

I got bad news, friend.

[u/Anemic_Zombie → u/Princess_Slagathor]

Maybe he knows something we don't 😱

[u/awildcatappeared1 → u/Princess_Slagathor]

Don't ruin their Christmas.

[u/Palpatine → u/Princess_Slagathor]

The majority of americans think the singularity will arrive in five years

[u/Princess_Slagathor → u/Palpatine]

I've got bad news for the majority of Americans.

[u/01iv0n]

I'm torn, I think it would be funny to be the guy with the burger tombstone—but I would roll in my grave if I knew I was buried next to the burger guy...

[u/donaciano2000 → u/01iv0n]

Would you be more comfortable if your tombstone was fries then?

[u/01iv0n → u/donaciano2000]

Maybe if the burger guy was my husband, could be a nice cute couple's grave—but still the idea of my friends and family staring at a giant metal burger when they visit my grave wouldn't sit right with me

[u/I_Am_Anjelen → u/01iv0n]

You mean you'd find it hard to stomach?

[u/01iv0n → u/I_Am_Anjelen]

Good one, so obvious I should have made it myself😄

[u/fireflydrake → u/01iv0n]

Why? You don't want to continue to tempt your family to make bad choices from beyond the grave? Where's the fun in that???

[u/OffMyRocker62 → u/01iv0n]

On the plus side, when you go to visit your loved one, and ask the office staff for a map to their grave, instead of giving you a map to their location, they say...

'Just drive around, and when you see the giant hamburger looking tombstone, you found them!' 😅

[u/graycivy → u/01iv0n]

Sir, if you were the guy buried next to the burger guy, you can probably ask him to share the fries.

[u/mosquitojelly]

Would be great execution but that burger looks nasty. Everythings brown

[u/BannedByReddit471 → u/mosquitojelly]

Not much color variance in metals

[u/mosquitojelly → u/BannedByReddit471]

yeah but they painted the wendy’s cups, they couldn’t put some green on there? lol

[u/s4b3r6 → u/mosquitojelly]

Looks like there's a fair bit of weather damage, there. Even the brown is flaking. I suspect there was green, once. Weather proofing is not an easy task.

[u/Grokent → u/mosquitojelly]

You might need to get your eyes checked. Wendy's cups are yellow.

[u/OckhamsFolly → u/Grokent]

All the Wendy’s around me use clear plastic ones now.

In the past, Wendy’s has used white cups as well.

The yellow Wendy cup is not an immutable brand identity.

[u/irishpwr46 → u/BannedByReddit471]

Is it metal? I think it's stone. Look at the marbling on the "lettuce". This looks like layers of granite

[u/scsibusfault → u/irishpwr46]

Lettuce done in bronze so it gets the green patina would've been kickass here, but not on a Wendy's budget.

[u/ohdearitsrichardiii → u/BannedByReddit471]

Enamel sticks to metals and comes in all the colours o the rainbow. They could have put a little effort into this

[u/Un111KnoWn → u/mosquitojelly]

rotted after a few years

[u/Cajum]

Doing all this and not getting a square burger with the Wendy cups is just sad

[u/RurouniRinku]

I feel like this is an unintentional nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where the company that produces the Hitchhiker's Guide values lunch breaks so much that they are taken to the extreme. One editor, known for his lunch breaks, left and never returned, but everyone assumed it was another if his extreme lunch breaks, and left his desk exactly as it was for over a century, believing that he may still show up any day and put in a solid afternoon's work.

[u/fizzyanklet]

That was probably so expensive.

[u/MomIsLivingForever → u/fizzyanklet]

Everything we buy for the dead is expensive

[u/fizzyanklet → u/MomIsLivingForever]

Just knowing how much basic burial plots and headstones with very few characters cost right now, I can’t imagine what this costs.

[u/Rezenbekk]

Sir, this is not Wendy's

[u/Serilii]

America is wild yall have commercials for burger chains when mourning your dead people on the graveyard

[u/chrisckelly]

There’s the beef!

[u/peach_xanax]

The three exclamation points really make it

[u/oneangrywaiter]

Idk wtf this is, but I want a golfing bunny on my headstone.

[u/vessel_for_the_soul]

Who's buried here, "Big Smoke"? haha.

[u/Buck_Thorn]

As opposed to: https://images.findagrave.com/photos/2012/241/41007513_134625262446.jpg

[u/geeeffwhy]

no, bob, i already got your headstone picked out… it says “order up”

[u/No_End_7626 → u/geeeffwhy]

this is immediately what i thought about. can’t believe i had to scroll so far down to find it!

[u/PowerBottomBear92]

Don't hate the playa, hate the grave

[u/Laifstaile]

I would like to hear background why this

[u/LionelHutz313 → u/Laifstaile]

I would really like it to be that the family couldn’t pay for a burial so Wendy’s said they’d pick up the tab … under one condition.

[u/Drinkin_Abe_Lincoln]

Fun fact. That’s the “Where’s the beef” lady.

[u/Intrepid-Nose2434]

This I what Robert pinkton said in court many times after his arrest. He was from Canada and killed 49 women feeding some to the general public. If Robert didn't agree to what was said he would respond with "they are out to lunch". Assuming he meant they were crazy. He died a violent death earlier this year that he very much deserved.

[u/TheExtraMayo]

Tbh they get points for individuality and sense of humor

[u/Dry_System9339]

So who is this?

Dave Thomas is in a mausoleum

[u/[deleted]]

I think thats what got them there 🤔

[u/Kangar]

Is this in Hamburg?

[u/The_Real_Qui-Gon]

Big Smoke R.I.P

[u/pporkpiehat]

RIP Eric Dolphy

[u/leeonie]

Wonder why he passed away..

[u/KTownOG]

Should’ve just been buried in Columbus, Ohio at that point.

[u/MotherRaven]

I could see this being trump gravestone, only McDonald’s.

[u/saintjeremy]

Dave Thomas' grave?

[u/NessTheGamer]

r/hailcorporate

[u/CeruleanEidolon]

I'm surprised the cemetery allowed the corporate advertising.

[u/jjmawaken]

Hmmm... I wonder if they can make one look like a sub sandwich :)

[u/161frog]

And they say you can’t buy taste

[u/hegui]

My mans went out like he lived …one burger at a time

[u/waylandsmith]

"Presumed Fed"

[u/cassette_nova]

I think this is the gravestone of the guy who originally was the 1st Ronald McDonald. Why it has Wendy’s candles I have no idea

[u/Dry_System9339 → u/cassette_nova]

That guy died in 2021 and this looks old

[u/undermind84]

That's my favorite Eric Dolphy album.

[u/2407s4life]

I wonder if they died of heart disease or some other obesity related disease

[u/dryfire]

I just can't decide. I want my headstone to really represent me, my life, the things I truly loved... What should I do?

Uh, sir, this is a Wendy's.

Genius!

[u/squisitospirito]

There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply Oh just remember I don't decide I got no reason it's all too much You'll always find us Out to lunch!!!

[u/No-Excitement113]

“There's more gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”

• Ebeneezer Scrooge

[u/MisterVictor13]

Made me smile.

A sad smile.

[u/matiaschazo]

Imagine your visiting a grave a few plots ahead of this and everytime you look up you have to see a giant burger in the background

[u/cazub]

Dave Thomas's grave?

[u/Somegunguy]

When did CaseOh die? 🤣

[u/shakenthebushboss]

Dave Thomas

[u/Hephaestus_God]

It’s only awful taste if the person who sided didn’t want it

[u/hobokobo1028]

I’m guessing that’s what killed them?

[u/Epicsharkduck]

Of all the fast food places for a headstone, Wendy's is pretty damn good

[u/AmaSandwich]

The top margin of that text is recalling getting to me

[u/Squishedsteak]

I’d honestly love to have a grave like this. Mine would be a giant milkshake or something

[u/CatlynnExists]

i love this. i’d do this for my dad if they wanted to be buried but not with wendy’s cups

[u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

Sir, this is a graveyard.

[u/LupoShadow]

Probably died BECAUSE of too much Wendy’s

[u/Man_in_the_uk]

Surprised they were able to do this, it's such poor taste it's disrespectful to Macdonald's. What might be the equivalent personalised headstone for a porn star?

[u/Radashin_]

Death comes for an old man. He got scared and ran away into kindergarden, hid with the children by the table and started having lunch with them. Death finds him easily and asks him: -What do you think you're doing old man, you ain't fooling anyone. -I'm eatsing. -Fine, you finish your eatsing, then we'll get you to bed and sing you some Twinkle twinkle little star.

[u/iceimusprime]

I thought it was going to be an open grave. 🧟‍♂️

[u/SquirrelSufficient14]

Did a burger die

[u/porridge_gin]

I kinda like it. If we're going to do monuments i like them having character. Our deceased werent generic, maybe our headstones shouldnt be either

[u/FL-Cracker]

One time I was in Columbus Ohio for a conference and I took a walk in a cemetery and stumbled upon the grave of Wendy's founder Dave Thomas. Woody Hayes is also there.

[u/digiplay]

This is just awesome. Full stop.

[u/pintasm]

Probably just a homage to what killed him

[u/Katana_sized_banana]

Imagine seeing ads when you burry a loved one. America in a nutshell.

Edit: Imagine defending this online.
