Is it at all possible to go into a Wendy’s and not at some point order a Frosty? I have tried several times, every one of them has been unsuccessful. I am wondering if this is a general human trait or if I have some sort of recessive gene that precludes me from not purchasing the creamy, chocolatey dessert.
You do know they are made with seaweed right? They use it as a thickening agent.
I don’t like ice cream.
I’ve never not ordered one while at Wendy’s either. Though I have ordered a frosty without ordering anything else. Does that count?
I loves me some Frosty! Though I have been able to enter and exit a Wendy’s without succumbing to their chocolatey goodness, I have also made special trips solely to secure them.
I don’t get the Frosty. I love chocolate shakes. A Frosty is Something Else. I also don’t like their burgers, etc. so I never go there.
How bad is a Frosty? They’re worse than Hardy’s shakes. “Um, excuse me, but why does my chocolate shake taste like coffee?”
My favorite thing about Frosty’s is that they seem to contain very little actual dairy. I’m somewhat lactose intolerant but Frosty’s are no problemo.
I say hooray for carageenan. Ever since I read The Black Stallion, I’ve been pro-carageen seeweed (it’s what they ate on the desert island to survive)
All about Carageen!

I never got Frosties. I’m not big on frozen dessert products in the first place, but the off-beige color always sort of put me off. What flavor are they supposed to be, anyway?
The few times I’ve ingested one of these concoctions the closest I’ve been able to figure it is that it’s some combination of “cold” and “dirty frozen yogurt nozzle”.
Sure fire method for a Mr. Misty headache.
But da-amn, they are good.
There’s nothing wrong with using seaweed. Why, I had a biology professor in college tell us that they used to use Bull semen in ice cream to keep it from freezing. Now they use kelp extract.
Technology marches on!

A straightforward column that gets high-jacked to hell and back. And you folks thought the hi-jacks here on the boards were bad. This one is of classic proportions.
Bull! Now that’s a UL worthy of Snopes. Time to do some debunking. Ice cream is supposed to freeze, that’s why they call it ICE cream. What’s it’s not supposed to have is ice cyrstals. The butterfat content and mixing while freezing keeps them from forming.
Wiggum: Quarter Pounder with cheese? Well, I can picture the cheese,
but, uh, do they have Krusty partially gelatinated non-dairy
gum-based beverages?
Lou: Mm-hm. They call ‘em, “shakes.”
Eddie: Huh, shakes. You don’t know what you’re gettin’.

If you go soon, Wendy’s is running a fundraiser for adoption…donate $1, and get coupons for free fries, and frostys, and you can enter for a chance to win a trip to Aruba!
Act fast, supplies are limited!!
I usually love the frosty. But lately everytime I order one it is half melted!!! This is unacceptable for a frosty! The thick, creamy texture is key.
…
goes out to buy a frosty
i dont like them cold frozen deeezerts.
my tastes buds freeze up and i can’t taste em anymore after the third bite.
I only drink water at restaurants.
You know what makes Frosty’s even better???
Take them home and add some Bailey’s Irish Cream to them!!!

The triple cheeseburger succeeded in distracting me this time…
I went to Wendy’s at the food court yesterday, but I didn’t buy a frosty because I’m watching my money. However, I DID get a junior bacon cheeseburger. So good.
I can get out of there without a Frosty, but without my 2 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers and a med. Dr. Pepper? God wouldn’t allow it. Without fries, of course. I like fries, but I’d rather have another sandwich instead.
