Wendy's is offering two new combos titled the 'Hot Honey NOT Birdperson Combo' and the 'Riggity Riggity Wrecked Combo' in celebration of 'Rick and Morty' season 6. In addition to these two combos, the fast-food chain is bringing back its previous 'Portal Time Lemon Lime Freestyle' drink and is launching an all-new 'Froopyland Froopunch Freestyle' drink.
Season 6 of the popular adult cartoon series began on September 4th, 2022, on HBO Max. As such, the new menu items are available now, for a limited time, in celebration of this release. The two meal combos are only available online via Uber Eats for a limited time, whereas the two drinks are available exclusively through Wendy's Freestyle drink dispensers in-stores.
