Wendy’s new Minion meal is Burnanas!
Wendy’s introduces new “Minions” themed meals featuring unique collectibles and new Banana Frosty Swirls.
The minions ran away from Wendy’s. mischievous childA new movie called “Minions & Monsters” is set to be released on American Bunch, and the fast food chain has created a new “Minions”-inspired menu to celebrate.
“Wendy’s Minions & Monsters Adult Meal” was released on June 15th (Monday), so I immediately went to the nearest store. After ordering through the AI-powered drive-thru and picking up my meal, the cashier told me I was the first person at that Wendy’s to order the new option.
I arrived promptly at 10:30am (Central time). That’s the time they start serving lunch. Priced at $14.49, the meal came in a bag covered in various Minion and Wendy’s images, including the Wendy’s logo wearing Minion Google.
When I had to choose between the Big Bacon Classic and the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, I chose the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. This meal also comes with fries and the most “Minions” inspired menu item, the Banana Frosty Swirl.
Sweet treats were the star of the show. I don’t really like banana flavored foods, but this was too delicious not to like it. (After a few sips, I said “Banana!” in my best Minion voice.)
This meal also came with one of four Wendy’s exclusive “Minions & Monsters” blind box collections. I’m sorry to report that my collectible was a monster (fourth option). I wanted the minions, but that means I have to go back and collect the other three.
Although I didn’t try these, Wendy’s also announced two new Coca-Cola Freestyle beverages inspired by movie characters: Pineapple Minion Mischief Fizz and Goomy’s Grimy Lime.
Here’s what else you need to know about the diet.
Watch me try out the meal in the video at the top of this story.
