Roaring into gear October 18, 2004, the four-week promotion features MONSTER JAM-inspired trucks in Wendy's Kids' Meals while supplies last. Kids can collect all four: BLUE THUNDER(R), BULLDOZER(R), DESTROYER(TM) and PREDATOR(R). In addition to the truck premiums, Wendy's also is providing two different full-color MONSTER JAM themed Kids' Meal bags featuring a special $3.00 discount coupon from Clear Channel that can be used toward the purchase of an adult admission to any arena event during the 2004/2005 season.

MONSTER JAM draws more than 3.5 million spectators to more than 300 live stadium and arena events throughout the year. With their giant wheels, these 10,000-pound, 1,500-horsepower trucks cause maximum destruction, flying, flipping and flattening anything in their path to the delight of kids of all ages.

The MONSTER JAM promotion is available to all 5,500 Wendy's Restaurants in the U.S. and Canada. For each participating restaurant, Wendy's will create a local television spot featuring MONSTER JAM trucks. Wendy's is supporting the MONSTER JAM promotion with in-store merchandising (in-store displays, tray liners/activity sheets, coloring sheets, drive-thru signage) and exposure on both the Wendy's (www.wendys.com) and MONSTER JAM (www.ushra.com) Web sites.

"With its rip-roarin' live stadium and arena events, MONSTER JAM has been a hot property with kids and adults for many years," said Alfred R. Kahn, Chairman and CEO of 4Kids Entertainment. "We're delighted to once again launch a national promotion with Wendy's Restaurants and bring these popular trucks to its guests."

"Wendy's is happy to once again bring families together for a special Monster Jam event," said Fay Kamer, Brand Marketing Manager for Wendy's. "The excitement and popularity surrounding MONSTER JAM together with the quality and value of a Wendy's Kids' Meal make for an ideal match."
