In its latest push to establish itself as a purveyor of premium burgers, Wendy's is testing a pretzel bun.

The Dublin, Ohio-based chain has started selling a bacon cheeseburger in select locations made with a slightly heartier, pretzel like bun. A spokesman for Wendy's declined to confirm the tests or provide any details, such as its price or where it's being sold. But the "Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger" was being advertised as a limited-time offer at a Wendy's in Miami with others posting pictures and talking about it on the social media site Twitter.

Wendy's executives have already said they plan to use better breads in the year ahead as a relatively low-cost way to raise perceptions about the quality of its food. The reliance on bread comes amid rising costs for beef, which have pressured restaurant chains that are struggling to keep prices down to hold onto price-conscious diners. So Wendy's is hoping distinct breads can help justify premium prices for some burgers.

The focus on bread is part of Wendy's ongoing push to position itself on the higher end of the fast-food pecking order in terms of quality. As such, the chain is also working to revamp its restaurants with a modern look with causal seating areas more reminiscent of fast-casual chains such as Panera Bread Co.

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WOMEN'S SPORT HIGHLIGHTS ATHLETICS

Nation's fastest growing sports league' (NBC Sports), Lingerie Football League (or 'LFL') officials have announced a major re-branding of the successful Lingerie Football League as Legends Football League. Despite the tremendous success' of the Lingerie Football League since premiering in 2009, LFL officials are now positioning the global brand to gain more recognition as a sport.

Since premiering in 2009, the LFL has accomplished the following:

Named 'Nation's fastest growing sports league'.
Secured the 1st ever video game deal in the history of women's sports.
Drawn sell-out crowds in the US as well as internationally.
Record TV ratings for MTV Networks.
Broadcast to nearly 85 territories around the world.
Launched international league play in Canada (2012), Australia (2013) and Europe (2015).

"This is the next step in the maturation of our now global sport. While the Lingerie Football League name has drawn great media attention allowing us to showcase the sport to millions, we have now reached a crossroad of gaining credibilty as a sport or continuing to be viewed as a gimmick. In the coming years we will further establish this sport in the US, Australia, Europe and Asia as the most known form of American football globally. In order to reach the next milestone, we feel the focus has to be the sport and our amazing athletes", said Mitchell S. Mortaza, Founder & Chairman, Lingerie Football League, LLC.

LFL re-branding announcement also includes:

Performance wear replaces all lingerie aspects of uniform.
New design of logos removing any sexy female figures.

I don't think they understand why people watch that league. At all.

I don;t even think most of the viewers realize they're watching Football.

I don't understand why it's not going to be permanent.

Just like every other fast food restaurant out there, if it sells well enough it becomes part of the permanent menu. Taco Bell does this sort of thing all the time and many "limited" items are now permanent.
