No matter where you live, it's easy to feel like the most exciting international fast-food releases never make it to your region. That feeling is especially strong in the U.S., where menus often seem stuck in a loop of the same old promotions we've seen for years.

'Wendy's in the Philippines is bringing back their Mango Sticky Rice Frosty and this one is so interesting,' @snackolator reveals to folks online.

'Oooweeee,' one fan wrote, effortlessly communicating our collective feelings upon laying eyes on this delicious-looking treat. 'I tried this and it's actually really good,' another added.
Sure, hopping on a plane to the Philippines just to try this summer-ready Wendy's treat might be a stretch—but we can still dream of its arrival stateside. Until then, we're stuck with busted Frosty machines and the same tired releases, crossing our fingers for something—anything—worth getting excited Fans Left Salty Over New International Drop: 'This Would've Been Good with the Takis' first appeared on Parade on Jun 24, 2025
