The Wendy's What the Fanta? sweepstakes is a new promotion being launched by the QSR brand to provide consumers with a way to put their tastebuds to the test and try their hand at winning big. The sweepstakes consists of having patrons try out the Mystery Mix on the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine at their nearest location and taking a guess at what they think it tastes like. Consumers only need to tweet their guess using the hashtags #WhatTheFant and #sweepstakes to enter to win up to $10,000.
The Wendy's What the Fanta? sweepstakes is running at participating locations across the US where more than 11,800 Coca-Cola Freestyle machines are available, but only through November 7, 2021.
