Fast food lovers, fear not - the tomato is coming back to your sandwich, taco, and pizza. According to CNN, Wendy's International Inc. began restocking restaurants on Sunday with tomatoes from northern Florida. If your Wendy's doesn't have them, they should be back soon.

CNN also reports that Yum Brands Inc. (the parent company of Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, A&W and Long John Silver's restaurants) is also starting to resupply its restaurants with tomatoes from areas that have been cleared of salmonella risk.

I'm glad to see that this tomato scare is coming to a close.

Are you eating tomatoes again? Did you even stop?

...Well, almost. The corporation has officially switched all of its cooking oils to trans-fat free in its U.S. and Canadian restaurants, but many of the premade products - like pies and cookies - still contain the artery-clogging ingredient.

You probably remember hearing about this - or even thinking it had already happened- because Mickie D's announced the plan awhile ago. In fact, while they were drumming up press, Wendy's, KFC and Taco Bell all made the switch to trans fat-free cooking oil.

So, thanks, McD's. Now Americans and Canadians have another way to rationalize our insane consumption of fried foods.

AOL Money & Finance has a feature on the origin of some famous brands named after people. Here are some of the ones that I found particularly interesting:

• Arby's stands for R.B., the initials of the Raffel Brothers. Many people think it stands for roast beef.
• Taco Bell was founded by Glen Bell. I thought they just liked the bell logo. Who knew?
• Baskin-Robbins was a combination of two ice cream stores, one started by Irvine Robbins and the other by Burton Baskin. This one shouldn't have surprised me, but it did.
• Wendy's was named after Dave Thomas' (the founder) daughter's nick name. He had 5 kids. You have to wonder what the other ones thought of his choice.

Check out the rest of the 39 brands for more interesting facts.

When I was young and my family lived in Los Angeles, we had a tradition that we'd go to Wendy's for dinner any time the power went out. In our little Eagle Rock bungalow, the power went out nearly every time it rained, which meant we got over to Wendy's at least once every couple of months. My parents liked Wendy's because they had baked potatoes and a salad bar, and as far as fast food went, it seemed better than many of the other alternatives.

However, it looks like Wendy's, soon won't be Wendy's, at least not as we currently know it. Arby's, the chain known for big (and in my opinion, mediocre) roast beef sandwiches, is gobbling up Wendy's for a cool $2.34 billion dollars. I am sure that Dave Thomas, the founder of Wendy's, is rolling over in his grave. According to this AP article, the rest of his family certainly isn't happy about it.

Not wanting to be outdone by their competitors, Wendy's has announced that they will be improving the flavor and quality of their coffee in the near future. The fast-food chain plans to launch the new product, to be marketed as Wendy's Custom Bean, along with their new breakfast menu in select markets later this year.

Apparently the chief exec and president of Wendy's, Kerri Anderson, wants to make Wendy's "a destination for coffee". I do have to wonder - is yet another place to go drink coffee what we, as consumers, really need or want?

I suggest improving the fries, instead.

Back in 1969, when the first Wendy's opened its doors, the Frosty was one of five things on the menu. Wendy's founder Dave Thomas wanted to offer customers the hybrid milshake/soft-serve ice cream that waas so thick they had to eat it with a spoon. The Frosty has remained on the menu for more than 35 years, but it hasn't changed a bit.

Until now.

Thi August, Wendy's will be rolling out a new vanilla flavored Frosty in addition to the chocolate standard. Yum. 

What could possibly be the world's most confusing naming system, the Wendy's "biggie" sizing, is coming to an end. The company, which is the 3rd largest burger chain in the US, decided that the names "small," "medium" and "large" are easier for customers to use, despite the fact that they have been imposing the "biggie" sizes for over a decade.

Unfortunately, the change might not be all that less confusing to customers. The old sizing system was small (16-oz.), medium (20-oz), Biggie (32-oz.) and Great Biggie (42-oz.). The new system is small (20-oz.), medium (32-oz) and large (42-oz.), with no extra large; each size is significantly larger than it was only 1 week ago, with the smallest size eliminated, not to mention that it is different (still larger) than other fast food restaurants.

Reuters mentions that this change to larger drink sizes comes after the company, in an attempt to promote their food as healthier, nearly eliminated trans fats from their foods. Calories must be "healthier," then, right?
