Wendy's teams up with Takis for new limited-time spicy meal. Here's what's in it
Wendy's is spicing up its menu with two new items — but they won't stick around. Fans can get their first bites of the new Takis Fuego Meal starting Friday, June 20, at participating Wendy's restaurants nationwide, according to the Ohio-based burger chain. Wendy's teamed up with the Takis snack brand to launch the limited-time meal, which includes the new Takis Fuego chicken sandwich and Fuego fries. Made with a Wendy's spicy chicken filet, the sandwich features crushed Takis Fuego chips, chili lime sauce, a creamy corn spread and cheese sauce, a product description says. Customers can pair it with a side of Fuego fries tossed in a chili lime blend. The meal also comes with a 1-ounce bag of Takis Fuego corn chips, while supplies last, the restaurant said. Pricing information wasn't immediately available. Wendy's teased a collaboration with the Takis snack brand in March, along with plans to grow its chicken offerings. The restaurant serves a range of chicken options from classic nuggets to a crispy chicken BLT, according to its menu. Wendy's new Takis Fuego items will be available as a meal or a la carte for a limited time, though the restaurant didn't say for how long. Find your nearest Wendy's here.

Wendy's menu adds hot new additions featuring a beloved snack
Some may remember when school cafeterias actually had good food. Pizza was served almost daily, and nothing was more delicious than the mouthwatering Bosco Sticks with cold marinara sauce or the chicken rings with smiley fries. Gone are the days when double servings were permitted and education departments were cool enough to allow kids to purchase chips, ice cream, and chocolate chip cookies during lunch. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Every school had two types of spicy chip lovers: those who preferred Hot Cheetos and those who favored Takis Fuego. There were also the kids who would rather indulge in cold treats. The hardest decision of the day was choosing between an Orange Dreamsicle and a Crybaby Extra Sour Italian Ice.
