A Kansas school asked to be roasted by Wendy’s on social media and the fast-food chain delivered.

On Thursday, Wendy’s was once again celebrating #NationalRoastDay on Twitter, a day it calls “everybody’s favorite made up social media holiday,” by dishing out burns to whoever requested it.

Velveeta, Wheat Thins, Bagel Bites and other major brands all got served.

Pittsburg State University asked for it and Wendy’s responded.

Then the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, took notice.

However, Pittsburgh had more love for the city of Pittsburg, where the university is located.

“Aw, shucks,” Pittsburg replied.
