  2. Completing our list of the biggest social media mistakes by companies in 2017 is Wendy’s, which raised the eyebrows of many when it tweeted a Pepe the Frog meme in January. The photo, which showed the company mascot morphed into a frog, sparked a connection to an image used by “white supremacists” to harass and demean. The fastfood chain deleted the tweet and acknowledged the mistake by saying, “Our community manager was unaware of the recent evolution of the Pepe meme’s meaning and this tweet was promptly deleted.”
