New obsession: Early 90’s Wendy’s training videos

Videogum.com posted this video earlier today. It’s called “Hot Drinks.” It was for Wendy’s employees in the 90’s to learn how to pour hot drinks. It’s also possibly the greatest song ever.

There’s another video to teach employees how to serve cold drinks. It’s called “Cold Drinks.” Unfortunately, it pales in comparison to “Hot Drinks.”

What’s a little confusing is the song entitled, “Got to Serve the Drinks.” It’s not so much an instructional video, as it is an anthem describing the morale expected of Wendy’s drink servers. (If one is looking for more information about the ins and outs of serving drinks, whether they be hot or cold, one should consult the two other videos, “Hot Drinks” and “Cold Drinks.”)

Finally, there is the masterpiece that is “Chili Can Be Served With Cheese.” This song (which one could argue is even better than “Hot Drinks”) not only describes how chili can be served with cheese, but also goes over the intricacies of serving milk and cookies to customers as well. Unbelievable.

Dave Thomas was basically the Quincy Jones of fast food.
