Steak 'n Shake throws shade at Wendy's on Twitter, promptly gets shut down

Best read in the actual link where you can see the tweets

Wendy’s is at it again.

The fast-food chain is infamous for posting snarky messages and beefing with rival restaurants on Twitter (no pun intended), but Steak 'n Shake didn't seem to take that information into consideration when taking a jab at Wendy's on Tuesday afternoon.

Steak 'n Shake launched its not-so-subtle jab at Wendy’s on Twitter, suggesting that some find the notion of eating at Wendy's "awkward," complete with a GIF featuring the cast of "New Girl" reacting with disappointment.

Wendy's, meanwhile, responded to the post within an hour, and had no trouble rebutting the accusation even though Steak n' Shake failed to tag the restaurant chain.

Of course Steak ‘n Shake tried their very best to win with a snappy comeback, but Wendy’s once again proved they dominate Twitter wars.

In the end, some Twitter users were amused by the mini power-play.

Some felt for Steak ‘n Shake, which has a lesser Twitter following than Wendy’s.

And others made up some puns of their own.

But in the end, Wendy’s had the last word, and tweeted out a plug for its "We Beefin'?" mixtape.

Steak & Shake shouldn't feel too bad, though, because they're only the latest to feel the wrath of Wendy's Twitter. McDonald's absolutely knows what it feels like to the be butt of Wendy's jokes, as does Carl's Jr. and IHOP.

Ok, thats a minute and half of my life I'll never get back.

Steak no Shake would have been more appropriate... at least in my experience. They never get the shakes out with our meals. Always after we are finished.

The location that we go to occasionally, usually gets the shakes to our table way before the "steak." Kind of like starting the meal with the dessert course.

That is HILARIOUS. LOL Does Wendy have like an "Urban Marketing" arm? How in the hell do they crank something out like that so fast?

If you're referring to the video, they didn't. That's been out for several months.

I couldn't make it past 10 seconds.

Why would I follow a commercial establish on Twitter?

(I don't follow anyone on Twitter, but why would I sign up for advertising voluntarily?)

Me neither. One crack house fighting with another crack house on social media, neat. I won’t eat at either because they serve shit food that will kill ya.

With their (former) slogans:
- Wendy's hot and juicy.
- Wendy's makin' bacon.
I think Wendy's is inviting jabs.
