- Turkey Picklewich – Featuring Thanksgiving-inspired ingredients, this sandwich combines Jimmy John’s premium turkey, provolone cheese, lettuce, and tomato, also served between two pickle halves for an extra crunch.
In celebration of National Sandwich Day on November 3, Jimmy John’s offers Freaky Fast Rewards members 50% off the Picklewich by purchasing any 8-inch sandwich. With their iconic salty, sour flavor, Jimmy John's Pickle Jimmy Chips are also returning. Both Picklewich options are available through November 14.
Wendy’s
For dessert, Wendy’s is launching a new Frosty flavor this November: the Salted Caramel Frosty. Following the recent return of the Vanilla Frosty, this flavor promises a blend of sweet and salty caramel that’s sure to be a hit among Frosty fans. This release joins a lineup of unique international Frosty flavors, such as the Chocolate Covered Pretzel Frosty in Trinidad and Tobago and the Pistachio Frosty in Saudi Arabia. While these international flavors aren’t yet in U.S. stores, high demand abroad may eventually lead to a U.S. debut.

This drink blends iced coffee with rich Dulce de Leche flavoring, topped with whipped cream, a drizzle of Dulce de Leche syrup, and crunchy caramel pieces.
