enjoyed the square patties because they gave the sense of having more meat as the corners would poke out from the burger bun.\n</p><p>This made customers think they were getting more meat in their burgers and allowed customers to see the quality of the meat easier.\n</p><p>This was one of the first things added to the menu, and it became an iconic burger associated with Wendy\u2019s.\n</p><h2
