What Is a Wendy's Frosty?

The History Behind the Iconic Wendy's Frosty

The Wendy's Frosty has been on the menu since the chain launched in 1969, which means it's one of fast food's oldest sweet treats. Wendy's founder Dave Thomas designed it to be thicker than a milkshake customers must use a spoon so it would feel more like a dessert when paired with salty fries. It started as just chocolate, but over the years, it grew into a full dessert menu, and that thick creaminess is really what sets it apart.
