Wendy's set to make a major change to iconic menu item
It might be known for its square hamburgers, fries and chili but there's another part of the Wendy's menu that has kept fans flocking through the door for decades. The American fast food chain, which has been in existence since 1969, has also found fame for the Frosty - a frozen dairy dessert which was launched as part of the original menu. But while it remains as popular as ever, it's undergone a radical change (Picture: Getty Images) Currently, the Frosty is available in chocolate or vanilla flavour, with the dessert being known for being thick enough to eat with a spoon but smooth enough to drink through a straw. However those seeking something a little different to the usual Frosty flavours have had their patience rewarded with the arrival of two new variations - Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions (Picture:for Wendy's) Frosty Swirls feature new sauces allowing you to customise your Frosty - with strawberry, caramel and brownie batter to choose from. These launched in the US last month but are now being joined by Frosty Fucions, special 'mix-ins' which allow you to customise your sweet treat even more (Picture: The Wendy's Company) Options include Pop-Tarts Strawberry Frosty Fusion - featuring Pop-tart pieces - Oreo Brownie Frosty Fusion with chunks of Oreo cookie, and Caramel Crunch, allowing you to blend your Frosty with toffee pieces. The new desserts will not only be served in a special new cup with a domed lid, but will also come complete with a blue spoon which allows customers to get every last bit out (Picture: The Wendy's Company)
Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy's Company, said: 'Frosty has been on Wendy's menu for 55 years and is one of the most iconic frozen treats in American culture. We're expanding on our beloved Frosty so when a sweet tooth strikes, the choice is easy for consumers: It's Gotta Be Wendy's' (Picture: Getty Images) 'We know consumers are always on the lookout for new flavors and ways to customize their order with sauces and mix-ins. We can't wait for everyone to experience even more ways to enjoy our iconic Frosty!' (Picture: Getty Images) Wendy's isn't the only chain to switch up its menu recently, mind. McDonald's in the UK has also added some new sweet treats as we head towards summer with the return of the Biscoff McFlurry, as well as the Biscoff frappe, both featuring a generous serving of the popular biscuit (Picture:) The fast food chain has also added a cherry lemonade to its drink offerings - a blend of frozen lemonade with a cherry swirl which is described as 'the perfect refreshing drink to take on a sunny stroll' (Picture: McDonald's)
