Chance the Rapper did what many of us wish we could which is tweet at a restaurant their order that isn’t even on the menu and get them to commit to making it, but that’s what he did. On Saturday, he made his list of affirmations for the day to include that he WILL succeed and have a good day, and by the way, he wanted Wendy’s to bring back their spicy nuggets. Wendy’s responded with a Twitter challenge, leaving it up to fans to declare if they should bring them back or not.
Positive Affirmations for today: I WILL have a good day, I Will succeed today, Wendy’s WILL bring back spicy nuggets at some point please please Lord let it be today.

In exactly two hours, Wendy’s tweeted, “Y’all keep asking, so here’s your chance. The people in charge say if you guys can get our tweet (this one right here) to 2 Million likes, they will bring SPICY CHICKEN NUGGETS BACK. Let’s freakin’ do this!” By Sunday evening the tweet had been liked 2,000,000 times, as requested. An announcement soon followed from the fast food chain saying, “THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Spicy Chicken Nuggets are coming back! Y’all are crazy! That took like a day and a half! WHAT?! We don’t know when yet, gotta figure it out, but soon, and ok, LOSING IT RIGHT NOW THIS IS AMAZING!!”
Y’all keep asking, so here’s your chance.

Before Chance chose to tweet Wendy’s about bringing back their spicy nuggets, a Change.org petition with over 10,000 signatures had been signed, but within a matter of days, he was able to bring millions together for the effort. If that isn’t activism, we don’t know what is. Unfortunately, his brand of activism didn’t exactly translate over as a complete success lately as neither of the candidates he supported for Mayor of Chicago were elected, but his track record of activism in his home town speaks for itself and he’s done just well all the same.
Now while we’re happy about these spicy nuggets returning, we’ve compiled a list of things we’d like his help on bringing back below:
1: Desperate Housewives: It’s been 7 years since the show went off the air. We need a movie, damnit. Chance *claos hands* let’s make it happen!
2: Devious Maids: Because… if it wasn’t bad enough that we suffered separation anxiety with Eva Longoria off the air following Desperate Housewives, she was given a show to produce that was also canceled. Talk about traumatizing. Jesus H. Christ almight!
3: McDonalds Pizza: Okay, I admit I didn’t even know there was ever such a thing and never had it, but seeing that there was such a thing in the 90s, I now want to try it. Apparently it never went national and was only tried in a few regions, but that doesn’t take away from the fact it’s stuck in my head and I want one. Think you can help, Chance?
4: Taco Bell’s Waffle Taco: This was their breakfast taco inside a waffle. I’ve also never had this but I remember the commercials for it in 2014, saying I would get around to getting one and before I knew it, they were canceled in 2015.
5: Burger King’s Cini Minis: Okay, this one is a trick item. The food chain’s response to the ever growing Cinnabon was discontinued in the 90s and just came back last fall. We just want him to monitor the situation and possibly issue a veiled threat in case they decide to get rid of them again.
