The highly anticipated sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday is set to hit theaters in August and ahead of the [theatrical release](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-x-wicked) of [Disney's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freakier-friday-key-lime-blackberry-cake) Freakier Friday, P.F. Chang's launched a limited-time Freakier Flavors menu. This menu pays tribute to the fictional House of Chiang's from the original film and entices fans of all ages to indulge in [Asian-inspired cuisine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burgerfi-szechuan-menu).

On the menu, there's a customizable Make Good Choices Dinner Specials combo with a choice of a starter, a base and an entrée. The Switcheroo and Crystal Ball Refreshers, two non-alcoholic drinks with fruit-forward flavors, touch on the movie's body-swap theme with color-changing elements, and the Pink Slip Ube Cheesecake similarly plays with contrasting elements with a classic cheesecake base and a creamy, nutty purple layer on top.
