Burger King may be the home of flame-grilled hamburgers but the fast-food chain was the one feeling the heat after an attempt to troll its rival backfired.
Wendy’s social media account has long earned its status as snark champion on Twitter and Burger King became its latest target after it unsuccessfully tried to mock the restaurant chain’s square patties.

Burger King posted a photo of its mascot in front of a Wendy’s store, holding a cardboard sign that read, “Roses are red, violets are blue, patties are round.”
Though it wasn’t clear how the rhyme was supposed to end, Wendy’s decided to hit back with a different angle.
Looked who dropped by to see what Spicy Nuggets were supposed to taste like. https://t.co/zYpvTxNohS

As expected, Burger King responded with another sign reading, “Don’t burn people just because you can’t flame-grill.”

Wendy’s fired back with another zinger.
Honestly expected better, but you’re probably pretty used to hearing that.

And Wendy’s took credit for having “thoroughly dunked” on its fast-food rival.
Yes, we already thoroughly dunked on it.

Wendy’s took a celebratory lap on Twitter while continuing to roast Burger King.
Big ouch

Burger King answered back some of its own critics – and fans.

As some Twitter users pointed out, Burger King may not have succeeded in trolling Wendy’s but at least a new meme template was born.
