South Korea.

Since 2012, these are countries that have had the Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza offered at their Pizza Hut restaurants at one time or another. Absent from this list is the pizza and hot dog-loving United States. But that may change on June 18.

Impulsive Buy reader The Groove Machine sent us this photo of a promotional flyer that features a French’s mustard packet with another condiment packet that has printed on it a Venn diagram with a hot dog in one circle and a pizza in another. It could mean Pizza Hut will finally be offering their Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza in the U.S. Or it could be a pizza that’s topped with hot dogs and mustard. Or maybe they’re doing what Burger King recently did.

We’ll find out on June 18.

Our internet pal Nick from On Second Scoop sent us a photo of a poster promoting a McCafe Oreo Frappé. According to a friend of Nick’s who works at a McDonald’s in Johnstown, NY, “It’s a mocha base but the base is mixed with something else as well. I don’t know what it is, and we add cookies and cream syrup and a spoonful of crushed Oreo. Topped with whipped cream and a light dusting of crushed Oreos.”

After a quick internet search, it appears the Oreo Frappé has been around for a few weeks in several markets, including Kansas City and Florida where it’s called the Cookies ‘n Creme Frappé. It’s unknown whether it’s a test product or a regional product.

Impulsive Buy reader Brad sent us this photo of a poster for a new Asian Salad that’s being tested in Chicago. For those of you who have an encyclopedia of McDonald’s products in your head, you’re probably flipping through it because you could’ve sworn McDonald’s had an Asian salad before. Well, let me save you the trouble and tell you there was one.

Update: We’ve gotten reports that the Asian Salad has also been spotted in Baltimore and Southern California.

Much like the one from the mid-2000s, this updated version features edamame, mandarin oranges, snow peas, red bell peppers, almonds, and is available with either grilled or crispy chicken. We do not know if the salad comes with the same Newman’s Own All-Natural Low-Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing that was passed out with the original Asian Salad, but since McDonald’s still uses Newman’s Own dressings it’s probably safe to say that it does.

So what’s different?

Well, this one has got a greens upgrade. The previous version had a spring mix and iceberg lettuce, but this one has a “romaine, spinach and kale salad blend.”

Last month, Wendy’s began offering a freshly brewed tropical green tea from Honest Tea. Well, they’ve taken that tropical tea and combined it with fruit purees and juices to create Wendy’s FruiTea Chillers.

The new fruity beverage comes in two flavors:

Orange Mango is a combination of tropical green tea, mango puree, orange juice, and carrot juice.

Blueberry Pineapple combines tropical green tea with blueberry puree, pineapple juice, and pomegranate juice. Thirsty Dudes tried this flavor.
