Good thing Wendy's announced this today so I can ignore them forever

No seriously how do they recover from this

They recover by everyone else realizing there's profits to be made, and following suit. Once greedy corpo assholes come up with an idea to fuck the consumers harder, there's usually no going back. Hopefully I'm just being cynical.
