Wendy's Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty is arriving as a special edition version of the QSR brand's signature frozen treat that's perfect for avid fans of the cartoon franchise to try out this fall. The menu item boasts the classic frozen consistency of the brand's original Frosty, but sees its chocolatey flavor replaced with a pineapple mango profile. This flavor, along with the name, pays homage to SpongeBob SquarePants' home -- a pineapple under the sea -- to provide fans of all ages with a sweet treat to try out.
Wendy's Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty will replace the Vanilla Frosty starting October 8, 2024 for a limited time to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the cartoon and encourage fans to get their hands on one.
