The Frosty is the signature frozen dessert of Wendy’s fast-food restaurants.

Product description

The dessert is a type of frozen dairy dessert. It was only available as chocolate until vanilla was introduced in 2006 after repeated requests by consumers.[1]

History

The Frosty was invented by Borden's dairyman John Bowers at the request of Wendy's owner, Dave Thomas. When the first Wendy's opened in 1969, chocolate, which is actually a combination of chocolate and vanilla (swirl), was the flavor of the original Frosty. Dave Thomas thought that 100 percent chocolate would be too overpowering a flavor when paired with a Wendy's burger and fries meal. A second flavor, vanilla, was introduced in 2006. Except for Yonkers, where it came out in 1986.[1] The dessert became available for free for T-Mobile US customers as part of the T-Mobile Tuesdays program.[2]
