Most people remember those times when they were kids and their parents would stop and get a special treat for the whole family on a hot summer day. For those who played sports as a kid probably would remember that celebratory ride to the local ice cream place for a great tasting victory celebration.
Today, anyone can enjoy a serving of great tasting frozen goodness by visiting their local Wendy’s restaurant. They have been serving the same fantastic frozen dessert called a Frosty. It pretty much has gone unchanged since it was first introduced to public back in 1969 when the first Wendy’s open.
What is this fantastic dessert called a Frosty?
Dave Thomas was making plans to launch his burger and fries restaurant business when he realized that he needed something extra to set his menu items apart from all of the burger joints in town. So, he turned to one of the top dairymen to create a dessert for him that would help drive customers through his doors. The Frosty was born and 40 years later the combination of vanilla and chocolate of the frozen ice cream treat is still as amazing as it was that first day.
While other restaurants were tweaking recipes while looking for answers to slumping sales, the Frosty stood the test of time and in 2006, Wendy’s decided that instead of messing with such a good thing, they simply added a vanilla version of the Frosty and an alternative. So now, the people who prefer vanilla over chocolate can enjoy the amazing taste of a Wendy’s Frosty without having to compromise on their love of vanilla.
