Wendy's T-Rex Burger Challenge Returns!
11 Sep
Summary
- A 3,000-calorie T-Rex burger reappears at a Wendy's location.
- Participants have nine minutes to finish the nine-patty burger.
- The promotion is running across Oklahoma starting September 10th.
A legendary 3,000-calorie T-Rex burger has resurfaced at a Wendy's franchise in Edmond, Oklahoma, offering a daunting challenge to customers. This nearly $30 meal features nine beef patties and all the traditional fixings. Participants who can consume the entire burger within a strict nine-minute timeframe will receive a T-shirt and a special prize, as advertised on a sign spotted in early September.
The T-Rex burger promotion is scheduled to expand to Wendy's locations throughout Oklahoma starting September 10th. An employee from the Edmond location hinted that the prize includes a voucher for a free meal, though finishing the accompanying fries and drink is not mandatory for the challenge.
This monstrous burger has a history dating back to the mid-2000s, initially appearing as a joke in Sports Illustrated. It gained traction when a Canadian Wendy's began offering it, eventually going viral. Corporate intervention led to its discontinuation in 2013, but fans continued to order it unofficially by customizing a Dave's Triple with extra patties. Wendy's corporate headquarters has been contacted for further comment on this resurgence.
