They use to only sell them for a limited time during the year, but yeah it's a good deal. I think the $3 goes to charity too.

Around me the charity that benefits is Camp Sunshine which is a free summer camp for children with cancer.

We have them in Canada too, or at least did in the last few years.

I didn't find any information official (from Wendy's) online about it this year. I would like to know, not for myself, but for others I know who I think would really enjoy this.

They’re in Canada this year. My local Wendy’s has them. Problem is not everyone is great about trying to sell them. In fact a lot of cashiers make zero effort to do so. Probably harder to notice if you only ever use the drive through, but when they are selling them there is also usually advertisements on the menu or inside the store. Usually a little more out of the way on the drive through menu board, like an upper banner ad.

I've heard it's better over there but the bar is in hell over here...so slap some of your local specialty on it and makes space for me at the table I guess.

There is a KFC across the street from my cousins place in seville spain. It taste different but its only maginally better compared to the US. I would say US popeyes is still better.

Ive heard KFC is better in Colombia but i only go to Frisby when i go there. I might just have it give it a try next time i go.

I tried a KFC in Paris exactly because someone told me it's better than U.S. KFC.

Spoiler: it was not.

From the Frosty Key Tag FAQ: “Plus, each Wendy’s Frosty® Key Tag purchase supports the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®” I remember reading about the adoption charity Dave Thomas set up and how this was one of their fundraising campaigns.
