If you were active on the internet in 2017, you would have seen the rise in popularity of the fast-food chain Wendy’s Twitter handle. On January 4, 2017, a Twitter user questioned the validity of Wendy’s claim that the beef used in its products was fresh, as the meat couldn’t be brought to the chain’s locations in hot trucks raw.
