Ah, Wendy’s—the US-based burger brand famously fronted by a cheery red-haired girl. Rumors have circulated that there’s an Easter egg hidden in the logo, but Wendy’s has already addressed this conspiracy. Fans believe that Wendy’s collar spells out ‘Mom,’ nodding to the company’s home-cooked roots inspired by the founder’s daughter.
However, a Wendy’s spokesperson denied this, stating, “We are aware of this and find it interesting that it appears our Wendy cameo has ‘mom’ on her ruffled collar. We can assure you it was unintentional.” Despite this, the internet can’t unsee the ‘mom’ in the collar.
This supposed hidden message would make a better story than the Subway logo’s supposed resemblance to the speed of service or Walmart’s ‘spark’ logo representing its idea. Whether intentional or not, the ‘mom’ in Wendy’s collar remains a charming detail for fans.
What Does the “WC” Sign Mean?
A couple from TikTok, Shelby and Dylan, shared a video in 2020, where they were talking about the difference between Americans and Canadians.
“What in the world is a washroom?” Dylan asked. “And what are they washing in there? Oh, it’s a restroom. The only thing I wash in there is my hands,” he then continued.
Then Shelby asked, “Do you rest in a restroom?”
“That’s a good point. They both don’t make much sense,” Dylan said.
As the Mirriam Webster’s Dictionary explained, “water closet” is a noun which describes, “a compartment or room with a toilet” or “a toilet bowl and its accessories.”
In short, it means “WC.”
In Reddit, a user asked to other users, “Why is a public WC called bathroom if there is [no] bath?”
A Redditor commented under, “Americans might similarly ask: ‘Why is it called a WC (water closet) if it isn’t even a closet?”
“In Russian it’s ‘a room without windows’ even if there actually is a window,” then a different Redditor shared, “In Esperanto, it’s necesejo, or ‘necessary place’”
