Wendy's teams up with Takis for new limited-time spicy meal. Here's what's in it
Wendy's is spicing up its menu with two new items — but they won't stick around.
Fans can get their first bites of the new Takis Fuego Meal starting Friday, June 20, at participating Wendy's restaurants nationwide, according to the Ohio-based burger chain.
Wendy's teamed up with the Takis snack brand to launch the limited-time meal, which includes the new Takis Fuego chicken sandwich and Fuego fries.
Made with a Wendy's spicy chicken filet, the sandwich features crushed Takis Fuego chips, chili lime sauce, a creamy corn spread and cheese sauce, a product description says. Customers can pair it with a side of Fuego fries tossed in a chili lime blend.
The meal also comes with a 1-ounce bag of Takis Fuego corn chips, while supplies last, the restaurant said.
Pricing information wasn't immediately available.
Wendy's teased a collaboration with the Takis snack brand in March, along with plans to grow its chicken offerings. The restaurant serves a range of chicken options from classic nuggets to a crispy chicken BLT, according to its menu.
Wendy's new Takis Fuego items will be available as a meal or a la carte for a limited time, though the restaurant didn't say for how long.

Gen Z is obsessed with tri-color tresses: Eye-catching ‘calico hair' trend takes inspiration from cats
Gen Z is feline this trend. 'Calico hair' — a dye job inspired by the black, white, and orange patches that appear on calico cats — is suddenly all the rage with Zoomers looking to stand out from the crowd. 'Ask your colorist for a mix of copper, auburn, and golden blonde shades with dimensional highlights and lowlights,' Marie Nino, a New York City-based hair colorist, told RealSimple. 'Bring reference photos to show the color placement you're after, and have them tailor the blend to suit your skin tone.' Advertisement 5 Though the style is technically DIY-friendly, many of its proponents prefer to visit hair color pros at salons for ease of mind. angelringhair/Instagram 5 Stylists on social media have said that the hair color trend works on many different hair types and textures. manes_by_mia Though many opt for a trio of more flashy, vibrant hues, it's entirely possible to embrace the calico hair trend with a more subtle color profile. Advertisement 5 Here, Miley Cyrus, beloved by Gen-Z, touts a toned-down calico hairstyle. Frazer Harrison By choosing a range of warm brown, striking blonde, and coppery brown, for instance, Miley Cyrus has struck a balance between natural and on-trend. Despite its popularity online, the eccentric hairstyle hasn't hit the mainstream the same way other recent hair color trends like 'recession hair,' or its more positively packaged term, 'old money blonde,' have just yet. Chances are, you may spot one or two Zoomers sporting tri-color tresses, but due to its vibrant colors and relatively limited wearability, calico hair may be another one of Gen-Z's short-lived micro-trends. Advertisement 5 Hairstylists find that the look is easiest to achieve on long hair, but short-haired Zoomers have taken to social media to show off their own variations on the typical look. Between sectioning hair off, mixing three different dye colors and washing each part separately, the steps to achieving calico hair in the salon and at home are lengthy and, for many, difficult. To make matters more complicated, the initial coloring process isn't even half the battle, experts say. It's the upkeep that stops Zoomers from continuing to flaunt calico hair. 'The calico trend is very high-maintenance. Due to the intricate coloring process, it's best to preserve the color for as long as possible,' advised Ryan Dickie, a colorist at IGK Salon Miami, in an interview with RealSimple. Advertisement Hairstylists and calico cut-sporting Zoomers alike advise that washing your dyed hair as rarely as possible will prevent different colored dyed sections from bleeding onto each other, fading colors and dry, frizzy hair. According to experts, the temperature at which you rinse your hair also counts. 'When exposed to warm or hot water, the [hair] cuticle becomes more pliable and may lift slightly,' which causes color fading, NYC-based dermatologist Ellen Marmur told Allure. On the other hand, 'cold water exposure induces cuticle contraction. The cuticle cells lay flatter against the hair shaft, creating a smoother surface,' resulting in brighter, shinier and more hydrated hair. If there wasn't already ample proof that fashion and beauty trends are cyclical, let this latest hair craze serve as further corroboration. Back in the early 2000s, celebrity style icons like Beyoncé and Kelly Clarkson were sporting an early version of calico hair: the chunky highlight. 5 Kelly Clarkson, Lindsay Lohan, the Olsen twins, and Christina Aguilera were likely all hairspiration for the teens of the 2000s. Kevin Winter Advertisement Thick blonde stripes were ultra-trendy back in the early aughts, especially among young women, and with the rise of calico hair, it looks like the teens of today have put their own spin on the look. Of course, the unconventional, eye-catching hairstyle may make millennials, and really anyone else who lived through the early 2000s, cringe, but take comfort in knowing that in 20 years, Gen Z will be living through the same thing — that's the beauty of the trend cycle.

Jon Stewart Shocked His Staffer Won A Pedro Pascal Lookalike Contest
The fake Pedro Pascal may be as charming as the real Pedro Pascal. On Tuesday, The Daily Show shared a behind-the-scenes clip to its X account in which Jon Stewart revealed to fans that the winner of a New York-based Pedro Pascal lookalike contest was George Gountas — who happens to be the lighting designer for The Daily Show. After inviting Gountas on stage, who looks like he could be a long-lost member of Pascal's family, Stewart made a confession. 'I've never noticed he looks like Pedro Pascal,' Stewart admitted, before showing a photo of what Gountas typically looks like in the office, which looks less like Pascal, but still very Pascal-esque. 'How did you do this?' Stewart asked Gountas. Gountas then launched into a very funny explanation as to how he went from 'Pedro No. 5' during a silly contest on Sunday to its ultimate winner. Gountas explained that a fellow Daily Show staffer noticed fliers for the contest last week. The contest was held at Son Del North, a Mexican restaurant in the lower east side, and the prize for the winner was $50 and a year's supply of free burritos, according to local news station FOX 5 New York. The co-owner of the eatery, chef Annisha Garcia, told People she was inspired to create the contest after coming across an interview with Pascal in which he said that there isn't any 'good Mexican food in New York City.' Gountas went on to tell Stewart about the contest, who was only mildly interested, and completely forgot about it. That was until he mentioned it to his wife, Jenny, just two days before the contest — and Jenny told Gountas he was absolutely doing it. Contesting whether Gountas liked it or not, Jenny enlisted the help of a neighbor, who was a stylist, in order to pin down Pascal's look. 'And I showed up on Father's Day — you were supposed to pre-sign up, I did not sign up,' Gountas said. 'I rolled up, and I was like, 'Yo, I'm here.' And they're like, 'You're going to win.'' And he did. The winner of Pedro Pascal lookalike contest in New York City 📹 jameskleinmann | instagram — Pedro Pascal Daily (@pascalarchive) June 15, 2025 @pascalarchive/X/jameskleinmann / Via Later on in his discussion with Stewart, Gountas eventually revealed that his wife had an ulterior motive in her insistence that he enter the Pedro pageant — and it's that she wanted to use Gountas' 15 minutes of fame to meet the real Pascal. So, Gountas decided to be a good hubby and shared his wife's request on camera in hopes that Pascal would receive the message. 'Hey Pedro, this is Pedro No. 5 from New York,' Gountas began. 'It would be a great, great, great gift if you could meet my wife, Jenny. It would mean the world to her. We need to make this happen.' The winner of the Pedro Pascal lookalike contest is also The Daily Show's lighting designer, George Gountas! #AfterTheCut — The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) June 17, 2025 Although it's currently unclear if Pascal is even aware of this whole fiasco, fans of the Daily Show were blown away by how much Gountas does look like the Last of Us star. See their comments below. I almost feel like that is Pedro Pascal and they're punking us. Anyway Pedro has to meet Jenny he just has to! — Nice4What (@mizztotal) June 18, 2025 @mizztotal/X / Via @dailyshow should change their intro to say "now featuring pedro pascal on camera 2" — Lucas Lyons (@lucaslyonsart) June 18, 2025 @lucaslyonsart/X / Via Pretty amazing!!! He's got the body language dialed in. — Wear your masks (@tonyver45) June 18, 2025 @tonyver45/X / Via He's got the mannerisms down! If that's not him trying to do that, it's even more eerie — j🍥 (@Noteless) June 17, 2025 @Noteless/X / Via

Students' Summer School Collection Is for Twilight Range Sessions
There's something about the last summer before everything changes. Longer days, empty parking lots, range balls under golden Golf's latest collection, Summer School, channels that in-between feeling. The stretch of time when real life lessons happen away from the classroom. Built around breathable mesh polos, heavyweight jersey tees, washed cotton caps, and utility-driven shorts, the collection holds its shape even as the season loosens. Hints of varsity styling and quiet nods to golf heritage ground the look, while each piece is cut for movement and heat. The palette is sun-faded, and the silhouettes are familiar but intentional. Each garment is designed to feel broken-in from the start, like something you might've worn years ago and just never stopped reaching for. For the campaign, Students partnered with the SCGA Junior Golf Foundation, featuring players Carolina and Alejandro Pedrozas, as well as EPSON Tour pro Katie Villegas, adding a touch of lived-in storytelling for the LA-based brand. The collection launches Summer 2025 exclusively with global distribution through key partners including Nordstrom, HBX, Bodega, Politics, Extra Butter and select golf retailers like TrendyGolf and Roger Dunn.
