Wendy's Is Giving Away Free Frostys This Week
Wendy's Frosty has had a big couple of weeks. First, it launched its new Thin Mints Frosty made with a first-of-its-kind Girl Scout Thin Mints-inspired cookie butter at the end of February. Then, it announced that it's releasing all-new Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions—letting you add sauces and mix-ins to your favorite Frosty flavor—later this spring. While we await the new Frosty innovations, whose official arrival date and flavors have yet to be revealed, we can still celebrate the delicious Thin Mints Frosty and its milestone as the first time Wendy's has ever had four Frostys on its menu. Because, unlike the other seasonal flavors, the Thin Mints Frosty didn't replace the beloved Vanilla Frosty—instead, you can add the Thin Mints cookie butter to either the Vanilla or Chocolate Frosty. The Thin Mints Frosty has quickly become a fan-favorite flavor at the drive-thru, and if you haven't had a chance to try it yet, Wendy's is giving you one for free. Don't worry, if you have tried (and love) the new Thin Mints Frosty, you can also get one for free with this deal. On March 12, otherwise known as National Girl Scout Day, Wendy's is giving away free small Thin Mints Frostys all day long. To score the free Frosty, you'll simply need to make a purchase using the Wendy's app. On March 12, when you order anything—no matter if it's a small fry or an entire combo meal—you will automatically qualify for a free small Thin Mints Frosty with your choice of Chocolate or Vanilla. You'll need to download the Wendy's app and sign up for a free rewards account to make the purchase, then navigate to the 'Offers' section. There, you'll find the free Frosty deal, and you'll click either 'Use in Mobile Order' or 'Use in Restaurant,' depending on how you want to order. If you're ordering ahead for pick-up or delivery, you'll click 'Use in Mobile Order,' then add your food and a small Thin Mints Frosty of your choice. If you're at the restaurant, you'll click 'Use in Restaurant,' which adds the offer to your digital rewards card. Before you pay, show the Wendy's employee your barcode for them to scan, and the free Frosty will automatically be applied. Once you have the Wendy's app, you'll also be able to play its new Thin Mints Frosty Adventure game. The in-app exclusive allows you to win food prizes daily and be entered into a drawing to win up to $10,000. A free Frosty to celebrate hump day? Now that's our kind of mid-week pick-me-up.

Wendy's Frosty Is Getting a Big Makeover
The iconic Wendy's Frosty, a dessert staple for generations, is about to embark on its most significant transformation yet. Forget the simple chocolate or vanilla debate; the future of the Frosty is all about personalized indulgence. Keep reading to discover the exciting new ways to enjoy your Frosty. Wendy's is taking its beloved Frosty to the next level with two exciting new options: Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions. Announced at its recent investor meeting, these innovations offer customers a fresh way to customize their favorite frozen treat. Frosty Swirls allow the addition of various sauces, while Frosty Fusions incorporate mix-ins—both of which can be combined for entirely new flavors never before seen on the menu. While Wendy's hasn't officially disclosed which sauces and mix-ins will be available, the brand's promotional photo (seen above) hints at caramel sauce, cookie pieces, and what appears to be strawberry-flavored crunchy crumbles. Social media speculation suggests they resemble Pop-Tart pieces, though Wendy's has yet to confirm. Fans have already gotten a preview of this customization trend with the Girl Scouts' Thin Mints Frosty, introduced in February. This limited-time offering features a swirled and creamy minty cookie crumble sauce, marking one of the first times Wendy's has experimented with such add-ins. 'Frosty is the most iconic brand in the frozen treats category. It's unique to Wendy's, it's broadly appealing, and our customers love it,' said Lindsay Radkoski, Wendy's U.S. chief marketing officer, during the presentation. 'That's why we're evolving Frosty from a product to a treat destination. We will be that destination when a sweet treat strikes any and all of our customers.' Radkoski also highlighted the appeal of adding toppings and mix-ins, noting that this customization is 'very popular among younger consumers.' She explained, 'They help them fill their desire for new flavors and variety.' The first hints about Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions came from a snack-focused Instagram blogger, who claimed in a February 15th post that Wendy's was working to 'vastly extend the customizability of the Frosty.' At the time, Wendy's neither confirmed nor commented on the speculation. As for their official release, Wendy's has only revealed that Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions will debut sometime this spring, though the exact launch date remains unknown. This menu shake-up comes at a time when the fast-food industry is facing challenges, with inflation-conscious customers seeking better value. Brand loyalty in the quick-service space remains low, with diners often gravitating toward competitors offering better deals or fresh new menu options. Wendy's hopes that these Frosty innovations will keep customers engaged and coming back for more. Radkoski also shared that the changes go beyond just new add-ins—Wendy's is introducing redesigned Frosty cups, lids, and custom blue spoons, all crafted to enhance the eating experience. 'This spoon allows customers to get every bit of Frosty goodness out of the bottom of the cup,' she explained, emphasizing the brand's commitment to both convenience and enjoyment. Wendy's efforts to reinvent the Frosty are just one piece of its broader strategy to drive growth. The company aims to increase global sales from $14.5 billion to $18 billion over the next three years while expanding its worldwide footprint by nearly 15% to 8,300 locations. According to a press release, Wendy's plans to open an additional 1,000 locations by 2028, focusing on investments in technology and operations to enhance the customer experience. Wendy's Chief Financial Gunther Plosch also announced that nearly 6,000 U.S. locations will implement artificial intelligence at drive-thru windows. This AI-powered system will build upon FreshAI, Wendy's existing voice-ordering assistant developed in collaboration with Google Cloud. Initially tested in 2023, FreshAI is currently operating in about 100 locations, with plans to expand to 500–600 restaurants by the end of the year. Source: Read the original article on GEEKSPIN.
