Wendy’s new “I Kissed the Ground” meal deal mocks Katy Perry’s space stunt, sources have confirmed.
After the pop star’s 11-minute Blue Origin jaunt, where she kissed the dirt upon landing, Wendy’s seized the moment with a $5 combo: a burger, fries, and a “down-to-earth” milkshake.
“It’s for folks who prefer real beef over cosmic theatrics,” a Wendy’s rep quipped on X, jabbing at Perry’s overblown gesture.
The chain’s social media team, already infamous for roasting Perry’s “Woman’s World” flop, leaned into the satire, offering a side of “shade sauce” for free.
Conservatives on X cheered, calling it a jab at “woke space tourism,” while Perry’s fans cried foul, demanding a boycott. “She’s a trailblazer, not a punchline!” one tweeted. Wendy’s doubled down, posting memes of Perry’s ground-smooch with captions like “Gravity’s the real MVP.”
The deal’s a hit, with lines out the door at some locations.
As of press time, Wendy’s was reportedly crafting a “Send Her Back” dessert to pair with the meal.
Love it! Gotta go to Wendy’s.
It’ll take me more than 11 minutes to get to the closest Wendy’s but I’m going!
No bragging rights, you won’t pay a million bucks. Don’t forget the free Frosty..
You are a hero astronaut !
Brings new meaning to “airheads”. I’m less than 11 minutes from Wendy’s – I’m taking orders now. Dems are making fast food great again!
