Wendy's Restaurants has begun offering 8 oz, plastic grab-and-go containers of milk as an option in its Kids' Meals.
A test launched last month in parts of Ohio, South Florida and North Carolina will help the hamburger chain jump on the healthier-food bandwagon by presenting alternatives to the soft drink and French fries in its kid-targeted combo meals. At no extra charge, customers can request the milk to replace the soda, and/or a fresh fruit cup-with honeydew melon and cantaloupe chunks-as an option for fries. Wendy's will offer both 2% white and 1% chocolate milk.
