Just when the Wendy’s in Brandon was getting the most publicity it has had in years, its burger buzz was killed.

The Huffington Post created a sensation when it released a story Tuesday about the T-Rex Burger, a nine-patty monstrosity priced at $21.99 that was only being sold at the Brandon restaurant.

The burgers were born after a fictional ad appeared in an edition of Sports Illustrated magazine nine years ago. Customers started requesting the artery-clogger and Wendy’s management had obliged almost daily for the past nine years — despite the fact it was not actually listed on the menu.

The corporate head office told the Brandon outlet to cease and desist in the wake of the unwanted attention late Wednesday.

“Wendy’s neither promotes nor condones the eating of a nine-patty burger in one sitting,” Blake Trotter, co-owner of the Brandon Wendy’s said, reading directly from a statement issued from the head office.

The mammoth burger is reportedly 3,000 calories and one unidentified gentleman had ordered one the previous three straight days, according to a witness who wished to remain anonymous.

“We strive to provide a positive dining experience for our customers,” Trotter said, continuing to read from the statement.

The Brandon Wendy’s has already removed the old ad of the Dino burger from inside the restaurant, Trotter confirmed. That doesn’t necessarily mean the burger has gone the way of the Dodo bird.

“It’s just a triple-triple burger,” said the witness.

A request for comment from the corporate office in Dublin, Ohio was not returned.
