Drive Thru Order
As the sun was dimming to mark the end of the day, the drive-thru at Wendy's buzzed with activity. It was the perfect time for a meal, and a line of cars filled the drive-thru lane. Eager to satisfy my craving for something sweet, I slowly moved my car up to the menu screen, my anticipation growing with each turn of the wheels. At this hour, it was all about Wendy's Frosty.
I reached the order station where the friendly drive-thru attendant awaited my selection. With a smile, they asked me the golden question: "What would you like to order?" Without hesitation, I confidently stated I would like to order a medium chocolate frosty.
It's a delightful treat, a cold cup of chocolate ice cream that possesses the texture of something that has been blended or mixed to perfection. Served in a cup, it bears a striking resemblance to soft-serve ice cream.
As I pulled away from the drive-thru, frosty in hand, I couldn't help but notice that is was already starting to melt. The warm summer air was causing my frosty to slowly melt. It was now a race against time, a battle between enjoying each lick and preventing a complete meltdown.
The velvety chocolate goodness was satisfying. Occasionally I fell victim to the notorious brain freeze—a reminder that even the most enjoyable treats can cause a brain freeze when eaten too quickly.
In the array of fast-food dessert options, Wendy's Frosty remains a timeless classic - a dependable treat that always brings joy. Whether you're young or old, this Frosty is undoubtedly a delightful indulgence.

Where did the frosty begin?
Some more fascinating history about the Frosty is that it's been around since 1969, the year Wendy's first opened. Vanilla was added in 2006. Further history from the official Wendy's website shines a new light on the origins of how the frosty came to be on the menu. Back in the 1960s, in Cleveland, Ohio, there lay a horse racing track called Thistledown.
At the racetrack, a wonderful treat was the very popular malt flavored shake. These malty marvels were made possible by the talented Mr. Herman Weistner, who had an strong connection with the founder's of Wendy's. Weistner was the mix master, concocting a fantastic ice cream treat that was catching on in Cleveland, Ohio.
Among the race track's colorful sights, there hung a sign that caught the eye of the Wendy's staff: A marketing statement declaring that the “secret formula” is frosted malted.
Eager to delve into the world of frosted malts, the Wendy's team embarked on a mission. They sought out Thistledown's creamy delights and brought them to meet Dave Thomas. The stakes were high; and Dave Thomas's opinion was very important at this moment in time.
The details of that meeting were a mystery, but one thing is certain: Dave was very much interested in the secret formula. It resonated with him. The marriage of vanilla and chocolate, the velvety smoothness, and the hint of malt—it all came together in a very delightful way.
After their meeting the Frosty was then developed and eventually put on the menu. The rest, as they say, is history.
