• Digital videos on Instagram and YouTube put a spin on traditional product "beauty shots" by featuring Wendy's Bacon Mozzarella Burger in unpredictable settings – including falling in a mid-air skydive and sitting at the center of a car spinning donuts.
• The American Authors partnership is also uniquely integrated into video spots for the Bacon Mozzarella Burger, which feature semi-hidden references to the band including a concert poster and the band's new album cover. These video spots also appear in movie theaters and include custom bumpers with the Shazam mobile app icon.

Unexpected Tastes Good

Naturally, the burger boasts Wendy's signature quality ingredients including thick cut, oven cooked Applewood Smoked Bacon and fresh, never frozen North American beef*. The Bacon Mozzarella Burger then takes the taste to a new level with a creamy and sweet natural mozzarella, a cheese that has the perfect meltability when placed on a hot beef patty. It's then topped with sliced red onions, spring mix and a garlic parmesan cheese spread – all sandwiched between a toasted garlic brioche bun.

The Bacon Mozzarella Burger is available for a limited time and is priced at $4.69 or $6.79 for a combo meal.**

*Fresh beef available in the contiguous U.S. and Canada.
**Prices and participation may vary.
