What’s New at Wendy’s?
We see Wendy’s as one of the most creative fast food chains out there, partly because they always have something new to offer. And we mean that in a literal sense, not just because of returning fast food deals. If you’re thinking about what to try next after sipping on the Tangerine Twist Lemonade, we’ve got you covered! Here are the latest releases you shouldn’t miss from Wendy’s:
Frosty Swirls and Fusions
Everyone’s still talking about the fresh new ways to frosty! Wendy’s initially dropped the Frosty Swirls, which allows you to customize your frosty with a swirl of sweet sauce; options include strawberry, caramel, and brownie batter. Meanwhile, the recently launched Frosty Fusions go all in. Aside from the sauce, they’re made with a mix-in. Available flavors include Pop-Tarts Strawberry, OREO Brownie, and Caramel Crunch.
Cajun Crunch Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Last April, Wendy’s also dropped a new spicy menu item. According to the fast food chain, they’re building on the legacy of their iconic Spicy Chicken Sandwich by adding a new twist. If you want to turn up the heat even more, try the new Cajun Crunch Spicy Chicken Sandwich! It’s made with spicy chicken filet, layered with pepper jack cheese, tangy pickles, cajun-spiced crispy onions, lettuce, and spicy mustard. All these are well-stacked on a toasted premium bun. Carefully crafted and made fresh, this new sandwich delivers both the kick of heat and satisfying crunch.

From The Club
What’s better than a perfectly stacked JBC? Getting it for almost nothing, of course! 😂 Thanks to Wendy’s, that’s possible with their 1-cent JBC deal. I love that it’s available not just for a day but until June 1st. And also, as expected from Wendy’s, they always try to give more of that fast food value we’re craving. I’m looking forward to more deals coming from the 100 Days of Savings campaign. 👀
