## Story

If you like watermelon, jalapeño and cookie dough, Wendy’s new spring menu is right up your alley.

The Dublin, Ohio-based fast-food chain revealed its new spring menu, featuring seven sweet and spicy items, including a Cookie Dough Frosty Fusion that is already available for members of the chain’s loyalty program.

The items will be broadly available on Monday, April 27.

The items feature multiple beverages spiked with watermelon, as the industry focuses more intently on beverage menu development in a bid to capture more drink occasions.

But it also includes a trio of new breakfast items, even as the company has allowed some of its franchisees to stop serving the daypart.

The sweet items Wendy’s is introducing include:

Cookie Dough Frosty Fusion, which features cookie dough pieces and brownie batter sauce swirled into Wendy’s Frosty base;

Watermelon Lemonade, an expansion of Wendy’s Dave’s Craft Lemonade Lineup, combines lemonade with a sweet watermelon puree;

Watermelon Sparkling Energy, an energy drink flavored with fruit and candied watermelon;

Sprite Watermelon, which is pretty much what it says it is, Sprite flavored with watermelon.

The company also is adding spicy items, including:

Jalapeño Ranch Cheeseburger, including jalapeño ranch, jalapeño slices and melted American cheese;

Jalapeño Bacon Breakfast Potatoes, featuring Wendy’s seasoned breakfast potatoes, three strips of bacon and Swiss cheese, topped with jalapeños.

Jalapeño Breakfast Biscuits, including jalapeños, sausage or bacon, egg and American cheese with jalapeños on a biscuit.

Wendy’s new items come as restaurant chains have pushed new limited-time offers aggressively in recent years. Chains introduced a record number of such offers each of the past three years, according to data from Restaurant Business sister company Technomic.
