Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions Coming to Wendy’s

By

Wendy’s has announced  the introduction of Frosty Swirls, which feature new sauces and Frosty Fusions, including sauces and mix-ins such as Pop-Tarts and Oreo cookies.

Frosty Swirls will debut exclusively in the Wendy’s app beginning April 11 and will be available in restaurants nationwide starting April 15, according to the company. Frosty Fusions will debut nationwide beginning May 12.

According to Wendy’s, Frosty Swirls starts with choosing one of three sauces swirled with a smooth classic Vanilla or Chocolate Frosty:

  • Strawberry Frosty Swirl
  • Caramel Frosty Swirl
  • Brownie Batter Swirl

Frosty Fusions on the other hand allow fans to add a sauce, in addition to mix-ins, for “extra flavor to the silky smooth Vanilla or Chocolate Frosty,” according to Wendy’s. The three flavors that will be available beginning in May include:

  • Pop-Tarts Strawberry Frosty Fusion: Combines Wendy’s Frosty and sweet strawberry sauce with chunks of strawberry-flavored Pop-Tarts Crunch Poppers pieces.
  • Oreo Brownie Frosty Fusion: Features the classic Frosty swirled with the chocolatey Brownie Batter sauce mixed with crunchy Oreo cookie pieces.
  • Caramel Crunch Frosty Fusion: Blends the classic Frosty with crunchy toffee pieces and a sweet caramel sauce.

Wendy’s New Thin Mints Frosty Is Here!

By

Wendy’s  new Frosty in partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA makes its debut today!  According to Wendy’s, its newest limited edition Frosty combines the “flavor of two iconic fan favorites — Girl Scout Thin Mints and our beloved Frosty dessert — for a delectable, minty treat.” And, as it noted, “everyone knows Thin Mints are extra delicious when frozen,” which, honestly, is impossible to argue with as it’s a verifiable fact. Best of all, fans can enjoy the new Thin Mints swirl in either a Wendy’s Classic Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty.

The development team behind the Thin Mints Frosty wanted to play up the concept of frozen Girl Scout Thin Mints, based on the widely circulated belief that these cookies taste even better straight out of the freezer. Simply adding crumbled frozen cookie pieces to the Frosty didn’t satisfy the developers (not to mention Dairy Queen did exactly that with the Blizzard years ago). Instead, Wendy’s came up with a chocolate swirl inspired by Girl Scout Thin Mints, which exists somewhere between cookie butter and ice cream fudge topping. Being able to try the Thin Mints Frosty in vanilla or chocolate adds another layer of intrigue to Wendy’s Thin Mints innovation.

 

SpongeBob ‘Krabby Patty’ Meal Now At Wendy’s

By

Wendy’s is releasing a special “Krabby Patty Kollab” meal for a limited time — in honor of the 25th anniversary of the “SpongeBob SquarePants” TV show.

The special cheeseburger — named after the fictional burger concocted by SpongeBob in the show — is served with an additional slice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and a “top-secret” Krabby Kollab sauce on a toasted bun.

The Krabby Patty meal is a combo featuring the Krabby Patty Kollab Burger, a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, and fries.

The new Frosty option — inspired by Spongebob’s fruity home — is made with vanilla and a swirl of pineapple-and-mango-flavored puree.

Wendy’s Offers New $3 English Muffin Deal

By

Starting this week (and for a limited time only), Wendy’s is offering either a Bacon, Egg, & Cheese English Muffin or a Sausage, Egg, & Cheese English Muffin with a small order of Seasoned Potatoes for a total of $3. At my nearest location in Chicago, these English muffin options each cost $4.19 à la carte and the small order of Seasoned Potatoes costs $1.79, so the savings here is significant — a nearly a 50% discount.

As Carl Loredo, chief marketing officer at Wendy’s, explained at a media event in 2021, the development of Wendy’s breakfast menu back in 2019 started from a place of rivaling McDonald’s fast food breakfast supremacy, “saving consumers from folded egg sandwiches that were being served in the marketplace.”

Meanwhile, fans hungry for something hearty and flavorful can also order the new Sausage Breakfast Burrito. Inspired by the fandom of Wendy’s Bacon Breakfast Burrito launched earlier this year, this fully loaded morning meal includes a grilled sausage patty, fresh cracked eggs, seasoned breakfast potatoes, American cheese, and cheese sauce. All these ingredients are wrapped in a tortilla and served with two Cholula Original Hot Sauce Packets on the side for fans looking for an added spicy kick.

Wendy’s New Italian Mozzarella Sandwiches & Peppermint Frosty Have Arrived

By

Wendy’s has announced the launch of an Italian Mozzarella Sandwiches And New Garlic Fries. The two new Made to Crave Italian Mozzarella sandwiches, which the company says are meant to give fans the “opportunity to have a true upscale Italian restaurant experience in the Fast Food World.”

The new Italian Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich features a lightly breaded crispy chicken breast, fried mozzarella cheese, savory marinara sauce, and naturally aged rich Asiago cheese, on a toasted golden garlic knot bun. You also have the option to customize with a Classic, Grilled, or Spicy chicken filet.

The new Italian Mozzarella Cheeseburger includes a quarter-pound of fresh beef, topped with fried mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, and Asiago cheese all sandwiched between a toasted golden garlic knot bun.

Priced at $2.79, the new Garlic Fries feature the brand’s signature natural-cut, skin-on fries sprinkled with garlic seasoning and doused in garlic herb sauce.

Just in time for the holiday season, Wendy’s customers will be able to sip on a peppermint-flavored version of their favorite fast food milkshake. The Peppermint Frosty will be made with a classic vanilla ‘Frosty’ base mixed with peppermint syrup. This festive Peppermint Frosty is available in junior, small, medium, and large sizes for $1.19, $1.99, $2.49, and $2.89, respectively. But there’s bad new for Frosty fans everywhere – they won’t be able to enjoy the brand’s popular Vanilla Frosty until next year.

You can find these new menu items at participating Wendy’s locations nationwide for a limited time.

We’ve also heard the ‘Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich’ and ‘Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit’ breakfast sandwich will both be discontinued to prepare for  the new ‘Italian Mozzarella’ options.

Wendy’s Strawberry Frosty Has Arrived

By

Starting today, June 6, and for the first time nationally, the Strawberry Frosty will be available for a limited time, joining the Chocolate Frosty in our famous Frosty lineup.

Wendy’s Strawberry Frosty merges the same creamy, delectable profile you know and love in a classic Vanilla Frosty with the sweet flavor profile of a freshly picked strawberry. Each spoonful is a thick and flavorful bite that will keep you cool on even the hottest days.

I said “spoonful,” because the Frosty was created to be eaten with a spoon. The spoon-ready consistency falls perfectly between a milkshake and soft-serve ice cream, which is what makes it such an iconic dessert.

And did you know the Frosty has been a staple on the Wendy’s menu since the first restaurant opened in 1969? It was actually one of the five original menu items, meaning Wendy’s has been delivering this one-of-a-kind treat to ice cream lovers for over 50 years.

Showcasing their commitment to Fast Food Done Right, the new Strawberry Frosty is shaking up the in-restaurant, delivery and drive-thru dessert game. Whether you’re on your way to the beach or an afternoon picnic, I promise you’ll be tempted to pull over and pick one up on the way. For the most dynamic flavor experience, however, you’ll want to dip Wendy’s reimagined Hot & Crispy Fries into the Strawberry Frosty. It’s a sweet and salty creation unlike anything you’ve ever tasted.

Fast Food’s 5 Monster Burgers

By Leave a Comment

The Super Big Boy from Frisch’s is the Best

Food Adventures leaves no plate unturned.  We eat it all and have no rules.  Sure, most of our stories highlight locally owned eateries with food that we have fallen in love with.   From time to time we will go off track and do our tongue in cheek take on chain restaurants, or in this case the dreaded “fast food chains”

Fast food is a guilty pleasure for many, and a way to grab a quick bite in a pinch…. even these chains go crazy touting deals or big specials.   Today, we go all out and try  some of their biggest creations and we don’t count a calorie.  These are the “Monsters of the Meatway” if you will.  These are the “Big Daddys of the burger industry,” and we aren’t afraid to rank ’em in order.   They are the always huge, sometimes sloppy, sandwiches that will never have you asking “where’s the beef?’

Sit back, loosen your belt, and indulge on these must eats.  Food

The Double Whopper from Burger King is a good one

Adventures presents the jaw dropping, must eat, top 5 “monster” burgers of the fast food industry:

FAST FOOD’S 5 MONSTER BURGERS:

1) “THE SUPER BIG BOY” at FRISCH’S RESTAURANTS:
The supersized version of the American favorite “Big Boy” burger. This one has the same amount of cheese, but 2 bigger patties, more lettuce and most imporantly, more of that unbelievable Frisch’s tartar sauce. It is a 1/2 pound of beef on the signature double decker bun, and it aims to please. It does just that and makes the grade as our #1 pick!

 

The Triple Cheeseburger from Wendy’s

2) “THE DOUBLE WHOPPER SANDWICH” from BURGER KING:
Another giant version of a popular burger, the flame broiled “double whopper” is a very filling sandwich. Over the year’s the regular whopper has been shrinking in size. This burger is a push back towards yesteryear. The hearty, sesame seed bun finally gets challenged and does the job, strongly holding the lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, cheese and mayo together. The secret to this sandwich is the griled taste that is unmatched in the fast food world.

 

3) “DAVE’S TRIPLE CHEESEBURGER” at WENDY’S:
Not one, not two, but THREE patties, each one weighing a quarter of a pound make up this masterpiece. This “brick of beef” is packed with cheese and loaded with lettuce, tomato, mayo, pickles, ketchup, and onion. The soft bun holds this massive monster together. This sandwich is bursting with flavor but is not for the squeamish, as it has the most amount of meat in our list.

 

4) “THE BIG BUFORD” from RALLY’S:

The Big Buford from Rally’s

Two “seasoned and seared” beef patties on a bun with all the fixins. That means cheese, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and onions served on a premium, sesame seed bun. Grab a napkin, this fast food freakshow likes to drip condiments on your hands and shirt. Probably the most bang for your buck on the list, as Rally’s is known for good prices.  It is a Food Adventure on a bun.

 

5) “THE 2/3rd POUND MONSTER THICKBURGER with CHEESE” from HARDEE’S:
We were surprised to find out this burger had the word “monster” in its name. It must be fate, so it rounds out our list.  This is the only “bacon burger” on our list. It features two 1/3 lb. charbroiled 100% Black Angus beef patties, 4 strips of bacon, 3 slices of American cheese and mayonnaise. The bun is heralded as “fresh baked.”  It doesn’t matter though because the lack of condiments on this one makes the burger pretty much uneatable.  This sandwich is just all meat, no toppings.  Pretty gross unless you are a pure carnivore.

Hardee’s Monster Thickburger – just gross…

There you have it.  The “plumpest patties on a bun,” the “biggest boys of the drive thru” ranked in order.

How did we do?  Did we nail it, or did we leave out one of the gargantuan bundles of meat on a bun?

Give us your feedback and remember this list was for FAST FOOD chains only ….
