This summer, Wendy’s is bringing Minions mischief to restaurants nationwide, inspired by Illumination’s Minions & Monsters, the riotous new chapter from the biggest global animated franchise in history. Starting June 15, the limited-time Wendy’s Minions & Monsters Meal arrives with an all-new Banana Frosty Swirl and exclusive blind-box collectibles. Can’t wait? The Wendy’s Minions & Monsters Kids’ Meal is available now at Wendy’s restaurants nationwide.

The all-new Banana Frosty Swirl features a sweet banana cream sauce swirled into Wendy’s iconic Vanilla Frosty base that will make fans (and Minions) go absolutely bananas.

  • Choice of Big Bacon Classic or the new Spicy Chicken Sandwich

  • Small Hot & Crispy Fries

  • Small Banana Frosty Swirl

  • One of four Wendy’s exclusive Minions & Monsters blind box collectibles – collect them all and unlock the full Minions experience

  • Two new Coca-Cola Freestyle beverages round out the lineup, inspired by the film’s characters: Pineapple Minion MischieFizz and Goomi’s Glimey Lime

  • Choice of 2-piece chicken tenders, 4-piece chicken nuggets, a hamburger or cheeseburger

  • Jr. Hot & Crispy Fries or apple bites

“The best partnerships start with an understanding of what our fans are passionate about,” said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy’s Company. “By bringing together one of the world’s most beloved entertainment franchises with Wendy’s iconic, high-quality food our customers love, we’re creating shared experiences that fans will go bananas for this summer.”

Illumination’s Minions & Monsters arrives in theaters July 1, telling the rambunctious story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to save the planet from the mayhem they created.

Fans in Los Angeles can get an exclusive first taste of the Wendy’s Minions & Monsters Meal on Thursday, June 11 through an immersive, themed drive-thru experience at the Wendy’s on East Imperial Highway in Norwalk, CA.

Bring your Minions crew to Wendy’s restaurants nationwide to try the lineup, discover the exclusive collectibles and experience the Minions mayhem. Poopaye!
