• WENDY'S FROSTY TRIVIA Wendy's anticipates using 450,000 gallons of Frosty mix; converted, that makes 14 million 6 oz cups of Frosty. This is the equivalent of 126 trucks full of Frosty mix; if you place them end-to-end (bumper-to-bumper), that equals nearly two miles of Frosty trucks. It takes the one-day milk output of 120,000 cows to produce this many Frostys. If you stacked them on top of each other, they would reach more than 800 miles into the sky. The Frosty Dairy Dessert was one of the five original products on Wendy's menu in 1969. The others were hamburgers, chili, French fries and beverages. The original price of a Frosty was 35 cents.
• DOES NOT INCLUDE CANADA damn it. so just don't even think about heading down here FOR OUR FROSTYS.
• There are no .. hang on, there *are* Wendy's in Australia, aren't there? Banana smoothy please! (and yes, banana milkshake is my favorite, always has been). Oh, shit. Not the same franchise. Fuckity shit-bags.
• A frosty is not just a "milkshake". A frosty is the perfect combination of ice cream, chocolate, happiness, clouds, and rainbows. It tastes exactly like thick, creamy, whipped chocolate milk. It doesn't taste like hershey's syrup like all other fast food chocolate milkshakes. And I love it even more because it only comes in chocolate. I'd go for the free frosty thing, but I would want a bigger one than than the tiny kids size anyway.
• I like dipping french fries into frostys. Sweet and salty, hot and cold goodness.
• Ugh!
• There's something I want to remember about Wendys but I can't quite put my finger on it.
• THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!
• Wow, and I was just going to make this an all-alcohol weekend. Free milkshake, please!
• does not include Canada I hope you all choke on your free Frostys.
• Tabernac! Now I really want a frosty.
• I'm heading out right now to put this free frosty thing to the test. They say you can't get anything for free in NYC, hrmppfhh!
• SHIT I WISH THERE WAS A WENDYS IN MY TOWN. IT'S GOING TO COST ME A GOOD TEN BUCKS IN GAS TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST WENDYS. FUCK DAMN SHIT. I HATE MY LIFE.
• does not include Canada Pooh- we've got free frost all month. Free poo, too.
• Side Dish: when did you get the marketing job with Wendys?
• *disclaimer: this monkey did indeed work at a wendy's as a high school student and was known to drink the frosty mixes before they were frosty-fied because they were SO DAMN GOOD EVEN THEN but has no financial nor public relations interest in the aforementioned wendy's corporation* mmmmmmmmmmmm frostyyyyyyyyyys
• I'm down. I used to brain-freeze myself into a coma with those damn tasty things when I was a kid.
• i can just hear all you canadians salivating. I CAN HEAR YOUR SALIVA GLANDS! don't try to hide them.
• OK OK here you go. a super-secret recipe to make your own. 1/2 cup milk 2 cups vanilla ice cream 4 teaspoons Nesquik chocolate drink mix Combine all of the ingredients in a blender: Blend on medium speed, stopping to stir several times with a long spoon, if necessary, to help the ingredients blend well.
• Ok, so the cashier was a slight confused about the free frosty at the Wendy's down the street - - but persistence paid off! Pales in comparison to the frosty cockpunch SideDish is hoarding to herself, but mmmmm, this frosty is damn fine! *dips hot crispy fry in* meredithia, think you are on to something with this
• oooo! a pleased customer! please describe it in deeeeeeeetail for us!
• umm, I meant meredithea
• Being low on 'ice cream, chocolate, happiness, clouds, and rainbows' these days, it's ON.
• It's hard to resist diving straight in when your hands first clasp that cool waxen frosty cup; alas, I heaved the spoon in deep and quick! The icy choco-ness... the creamy yet sandy texture... it quivered down my tongue with ease and urgency... The cool-tingle trailed all the way to my tummy... and begged for more!!! Temptation got the better of me when I saw the hot fries just sitting there - lonely and depraved - so I gave it a try... the hotness of the fry made the frosty melt around it, liquid numminess enveloped the fry... the salty hot meshed with cool sweetness almost perfectly... this time, I went all-out, no holes barred, the fry has become my slave, wrapped in frosty-melt, and I shall only tease it more and more!!!
• Lonely and depraved hot fries are my favorites.
• Something tells me that dayfat lives somewhere near Quebec.
• monkeyfilter: Lonely and depraved hot fries
• Nesquick IS NOT THE SAME!! It's not! It has no clouds! It has no rainbows! It's not as fluffy! And really, the best way to eat a frosty is with a plastic wendy's spoon.
• and you really have to lick to get all the rich goodness off that spoon. mmmm.
• From where I'm sitting, the closest free Frosty would be in Buffalo. Or Cheektowaga. Or any of the Tonawandas. Do I really want to spend half an hour at the border getting grilled by some Homeland Security guy with mirrored sunglasses and a grade seven education to get myself a free Frosty? Have to think about it, but no. Thanks, though. (Honestly, I just wanted to think about it simply to thwart SideDish. Consider yourself thwarted, Sidey! Ya-HAH!)
• here's a closeup of what you're missing, good captain!!!! DROOL, DROOL CANADIAN!!!
• Meh.
• *slurps last of Pop Shoppe Lime Rickey*
• *wolfs down great handfuls of delicious chocolate tastier-than-M&Ms Smarties*
• Ya, I guess if I want a Frasty, I could drive down to Fargo? I think there's a Wendy's next to the Radisson. They gat a great lunch buffet there ya know.
• *looks around for Coffee Crisp set aside this morning*
• I take it tracicle's away this week, then?
• *offers Capt. Renault a packet of Wine Gums*
• koko, a FRASTY? a FRASTY???? are you mocking your southern neighbors? we might just have to invade for that.
• *accepts Koko's Wine Gums, offers Mackintosh Toffee in return*
• Bring it on, Yank, or are ye too logie from all the ice cream?
• Nonsense- you'd be invading for the Caramilks!
• *snicker*
• The Great Canadian Milkshake Tent (sorry no free milkshakes) features live music in an up-close intimate environment. oh forget that invasion, hell, you guys don't even give away free milkshakes in the Great Canadian Milkshake Tent Yah Hey
• *offers fellow Canadians a plate of Nanaimo bars*
• Poutine, anyone?
• No free milkshakes and they call off the invasion. Typical Yank... (Bok bok bok bok bok..!)
• Poutine? Sounds like it should come with a condom or dental dams. mmm...I love me some poutine.
• There's something I want to remember about Wendys but I can't quite put my finger on it. Yeah, I wonder if this is partly in response to that PR nightmare. Or maybe the free frosty day is an annual thing. Myself, I used to like getting the baked potatoe with sour cream and chives along with my Frosty.
• Ye can keep your clotted milkshakes I've had 'em up to here. Give me just a sip o' porter or a fine Canadian beer. /and nya! to ye
• I wonder if this is partly in response to that PR nightmare. Guaranteed, it is. They want to get more bodies moving through their stores. Got to give Wendy's a hand for this! (Or at least a finger.) *rimshot* *audience groans*
• let's ask Tom! Wendy's restaurants are giving away free Frostys frozen desserts this weekend as a thank you to customers who supported the burger chain following an embarrassing incident in California where a women allegedly planted a severed finger in a bowl of chili. "Our customers stood by us while we defended our good name and protected our employees' livelihoods, so now we're showing our appreciation with free Frostys," Tom Mueller, Wendy's chief executive, said in a press release. "We're moving on."
• Here's also where I need to say that I'm so glad I live in California, where there's In 'N Out, which kicks Wendy's ass all over town.
• "Our customers stood by us while we defended our good name and protected our employees' livelihoods, so now we're showing our appreciation with free Frostys," Really? PR people are so full of shit.
• oh meanwhile did you guys see this... SAN JOSE, Calif. - The finger that a woman said she found in a bowl of Wendy’s chili came from an associate of her husband who lost the digit in an industrial accident, police said Friday. advertisement “The jig is up. The puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place, and the truth is being exposed,” Police Chief Rob Davis said. The man is from Nevada and lost a part of his finger in an accident last December, Davis said. His identity was traced through a tip made to Wendy’s hot line, he said.
• as you can see i included a subliminal advertisement in that
• There is a shop with real cream ice-cream right near me, and my roommate and I also get Hagan Daas on special, so I'm all snobby about ice-cream now. But I want poutine.
• Meh. Go and choke on your free choco & rainbows juice, see if I care. /goes out for $5 thick-as-ice-cream B*skin R*bbins chocolate shake, slurps it down hiding in server room at office
• The next patient we'll be seeing is SideDish, who is recovering from a near-fatal sugar high after somehow finagling six free Frostys from her neighborhood Wendy's (apparently by promising to shill their product on a semi-popular website). She's also recovering from the incident when the Wendy's Manager discovered she was talking about MonkeyFilter and not MetaFilter, after which he cut off her finger.
• So apparently their milkshake is better than ours? And they can teach us, but yet wont have to charge?
• Does our milkshake bring all the Canadians into our yard?
• Damn right, it's better than ours. (Close, ooga_booga: I lived in Ottawa for five years)
• all your milkshakes are belong to us
• SIDEDISH WHY U KEEP TALKING THE FROSTY? MY BROTHER NOT WANT FROSTY. ME AND MY FRIEND NOT WANT FROSTY. NO TO FROSTY OR THE TALK! CANADIAN DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT MAUDIT. EVEN FOR FREE AND PLASTIC SPOON FORE EVERYONE. TIME FOR STOP THE FROSTY POSTING. ONE DAY WE MAD AND DROP THE POUTINE LARD MOUNTAIN ON YOU HOUSE. SCARE THE WHILE EH?! HA ha AND LAUGH TIL THE BIG ONES COME OUT.
• There are 17 Wendy's in Albuquerque. Just letting you know. (I was disappointed that there was no finger in my free Frosty.)
• Who is driving?? Oh no bear is driving!! How can this be???
• Monkeyfilter: WHY U KEEP TALKING THE FROSTY? Monkeyfilter: DROP THE POUTINE LARD MOUNTAIN ON YOU HOUSE Monkeyfilter: HA ha AND LAUGH TIL THE BIG ONES COME OUT.
• What Kimberly said.
• *orders plaid shirts and suspenders for StoryBored's birthday*
• I had six of them.
• O the poutine lard mountain walks like a man, but I will outrun him if I can!
• great! now i want one and the wendys is far away...you bastards! *flings bananas, jumps up and down on branch, beating chest and screaming*
• So what's far away in LA terms, 5 blocks? Get out and walk ya lazy sonofabitch.
• Koko - in LA terms, far away is next door. It's canonized in the county statutes, "thou shalt drive if thou needest go further than thy front door". Haven't you watched LA Story?
• Sing doo wah diddy, ooga_booga.
• I’ll have a half double decaffeinated half-caf, with a twist of lemon.
• A study done while I was in the US found that the distance the average US resident was willing to walk, before hopping into a car and driving instead, was 800 metres, or half a mile.
• PLAID SHIRTS IS FINE AS LONG TO COVER THE BUM. THANKS BE TO YOU, MIDDLECLASSTOOL. (WHY DEY CALL U DAT? HOPE YOUR TOOL IS OUT STANDING)
• Trac: I understand the study was done by survey people driving door to door asking questions. I couldn't get a shake--the drive in window was closed.
• i ended up walking to the jack in the box..much closer..and getting one of their chocolate malt crunch shakes..very tasty. so there. VV (tungsten!)
• Now I want ice cream. My friends and I tried to visit coldstone creamery last week - we even found great parking in West Hollywood..... because they were CLOSED! ::weeps, gnashes teeth::
• I have a big container of Jamaca Bryers in the freezer yum
• no, Coffee don't know where that other thing came from
