This guy must be a financial genius.

When the fast food chain announced its free nugget giveaway, a hungry Lents resident known as Skweezy Jibbs grabbed an underwear mask and a skillet and hit up 11 drive-thrus in the Portland and Vancouver area—not once, but twice.IMAGE: Courtesy of Skweezy Jibbs.
Not all heroes wear capes—and some of them go by the name Skweezy.
Last week, fast food chain Wendy's announced it would be giving away free four-piece chicken nuggets nationwide for one day only. Upon hearing the news, a hungry Lents resident hatched a devious plot: to fully take advantage of the company's generosity during These Uncertain Times and visit 11 Wendy's drive-thrus in the Portland and Vancouver area—not once, but twice.
"So the first thing was, obviously, I was hungry and heard about it, so I figured I would go get some nuggets," the internet personality known as Skweezy Jibbs tells WW. "But then I was like, 'Wait, I'm gonna be hungry later. And tomorrow. And next week, too.'"
Armed with a makeshift face mask of moisture-wicking boxer briefs and a skillet to assist with social distancing (which, he confesses, he only employed twice), Jibbs hopped in his girlfriend's car and set off on a journey that would ultimately last five hours.
Skip x "Next thing you know," he says, "I'm getting more nuggets than a prospector."
Not only that, he also got a shoutout from the official Wendy's Twitter account:
@Skweezy · Apr 24, 2020 times is tough so when i heard @wendys was givin out free 4 piece nuggs today i knew i had 2 HUSTLE 🏃 i hit every damn wendys twice within 17 miles across 2 states 🚘 it took 5 hours but now we eatin free 4 a week WHAT IT DOOOOOO
✔ @Wendys That’s just straight up impressive ngl
But fame has its consequences. Jibbs—the alter ego of comedian Tim Savage, who previously went viral in 2017 after convincing the internet he named his newborn son "Fidgit Spinner"—says, "Peeps were talkin' @#$%, sayin' I was selfish," so he ended up giving half his haul away to his neighbors. He confirms to WW that he kept all the sauces, though:
This guy must be a financial genius.
Well - he was smart enough to use his girlfriend’s car - and probably her gas.
I don’t know how they do it, but some of these folks on twitter and youtube make some decent money.
Well, that man is going places.
So tell me, how is this not selfish gluttony by the reasoning of the judge who imprisoned the Dallas hairdresser for being “selfish?”
lol 5 hours of driving... um.. fuel??? you know that costs money too right?... I am pretty sure he used more money on the fuel than the nuggets would of cost had he just bought them.
This was just a stunt to get views.
Imagine -—a total of 88 wendy’s chicken nuggets and he only needed 5 hours and probably 10 bucks worth of gas to do it!This is the stupidest quest I ever heard of.

Yep, anything to see your name beyond your birth certificate. What a clown, an ugly one to boot.
He may use another name, but the idiocy is real.
And no comments regarding his men’s boxer briefs worn on his head as a WuFlu mask?
Lol.
But considering you can get 50 for $10 now this guy must really be broke
Don’t you have a friend named skweezy?
As frugal as he is I doubt they’re new.
“And no comments regarding his men’s boxer briefs worn on his head as a WuFlu mask?”
There’s a slim chance they’re “Hanes for Her.” I suppose that might have some (kinky) redeeming value.
underwear mask and a skillet
Ok, I understand the mask but whatsup with the skillet?

...
The IRS allows 58 cents per mile, so if he drove 100 miles those free nuggets only cost his girlfriend $58.
Given the fact that he put @Wendys on his Tweet, he clearly wanted the Wendy’s twitter account to see his message and respond so his story would be shared to millions. Looks like it worked. And yes, wanting to get noticed for doing something like this is beyond sad and stupid, but that’s where we are at these days.
The most surprising aspect to this story is to find that he has a girlfriend.
Nothing but blue sky for that man!
