Is the Frosty a Dessert, a Drink or a Dip? 

The Frosty can be all three! With a consistency that falls somewhere between a milkshake and soft-serve ice cream, the Frosty was created to be eaten with a spoon. But if you prefer to let your Frosty melt a bit to enjoy it with a straw, we won’t stop you. There are also those who like to dip their Wendy’s Hot & Crispy Fries in a Frosty for the ultimate sweet and salty experience. When it comes to how to enjoy this iconic dessert, we say, “you do you.”  

History of the Frosty 

The Frosty dairy dessert has been a Wendy’s menu staple for more than 50 years. The Frosty was one of five original Wendy’s menu items, which are all proudly still on the menu today. This signature treat was co-created in 1969 by Fred Kappus, CEO of Kappus Company, an Ohio-based foodservice equipment distributor, and Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas. Dave was looking for a frozen dairy treat to put on his new hamburger restaurant menu. He thought since Fred sold ice cream machines, he might have an idea for a recipe. That hunch was correct and the Frosty was born. Over half a century later, Kappus still supplies Frosty machines to Wendy’s restaurants around the world.
