Frosty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the fictional character animated from snow by a magical hat, see Frosty the Snowman.
The Frosty is the trademark frozen dairy dessert of Wendy's fast-food restaurants. The dessert can be compared to a thick milkshake or slightly melted soft-serve ice cream.
[edit] History
- When the first Wendy's opened in 1969, chocolate was the only flavor available.[1]
- The second Frosty flavor, vanilla, was introduced in 2006.
- A new Frosty version called the Frosty Float, in which vanilla frosty is mixed with the customer's choice of soda, was introduced in 2007.
- The dessert is available in four sizes: Jr. (6 oz.), small (12 oz.), medium (16 oz.) and large (20 oz.).
- Frosties are served at 22°F.
[edit] References
- ^ The actual flavor of the original Frosty is half-vanilla, half-chocolate. Dave Thomas thought that 100% chocolate was too overpowering a flavor when paired with a Wendy's burger and fries meal.
