Hamburgers Beat out Tacos for Late Night Food Choices among Millennial Males
May 7, 2013 (Dublin, Ohio) 鈥 Young Millennial males have good taste.聽 When it comes to late night quests for food, eight in 10 Millennial males said that they want good food鈥攏ot just any food, according to a recent survey* conducted by Braun Research.聽 Of the late night food options, these nighttime diners vote for hamburgers (over tacos) as their top choice and beef and cheese were some of the most craveable ingredients.聽 It鈥檚 more than good food (84%) that鈥檚 important, convenience (79%), quick service (78%) and food options for $5 or less (73%) are also important attributes for late night diners.聽
Wendy鈥檚 Moonlight Meal Deal鈩 was designed to meet these needs. The Meal Deal includes a Double Stack鈩 hamburger, Chili Cheese Fries and a large soft drink all for $5 after 10 pm. The Double Stack starts with two junior hamburger patties topped off with American cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickle and onion. But the beefy, cheesy goodness doesn鈥檛 end there. The Chili Cheese Fries combine Wendy鈥檚 natural-cut fries with sea-salt, with slow-cooked, rich and meaty chili and a cheesy cheddar sauce.聽 And just like everything on the Wendy鈥檚 茄子污污视频, this meal is made when you order it, something that 67% of Millennial males said was important.
