For years touring musicians listened to copies of this call in their vans. Now, you can hear it for yourself.
It takes a while to develop, but many believe the below video contains the greatest prank call of all time. Touring musicians have been listening to the call -- which has managed to remain offline for over 15 years -- for ages. Now, you can too.
The call goes like this: someone from "the corporate office" of Wendy's calls a Tempe, Arizona, area store to inform the crew on the closing shift that they've received a few complaints about French fries coming out under temperature. The head honch at corporate needs the store to turn back on the Fryolater and make sure its internal thermostat is correct.
He asks the employee to stick his hand in the hot oil to tighten a loosened heating filament. Thankfully, the employee is too smart for that. But what he does next ... Will. Blow. Your. Mind. And he does it twice. (Thankfully, no one is physically harmed in the making of this prank call.)
The "Corporate Office" is the work of Los Angeles funny man Bob Schriner, who lived in Tempe, AZ, at the time of the call, 1999. Schriner says he wasn't surprised the call ends the way it does. (WARNING: Spoilers ahead.)
"The premise of calling as the guy from corporate was something I'd been messing with for a little while with mixed results," Schriner tells BuzzFeed News. "You'd be amazed by how often someone would destroy company property when they thought it was their boss's boss on the phone. If there's something I was surprised by it would be the sound a phone makes when submerged in frying oil."
