Indulging in a cool cup of ice cream is the perfect way to end a hot summer day. According to Wendy’s, how you eat it is the real question. Now is your chance to find out.
Wendy’s has announced a special deal on its iconic Frosty for a limited time. From Aug. 5 to Sept. 15, customers can enjoy a $1 small Classic Chocolate Frosty or try the seasonal Triple Berry Frosty. This offer is a significant discount from the typical price range of $1.69 to $2.49.
The debate posed by Wendy’s is simple: How do you eat your Frosty?
If you’re like 15% of Frosty fans, you might enjoy dipping a salty fry into the treat. This option is popular among Gen Zers. The majority, 70%, prefer using a spoon, while the remaining 15% sip it through a straw.
Wendy’s $1 Frosty deal encourages fans to try all three methods and decide on their favorite.
This offer is part of a larger trend in the fast food industry to attract customers back amid rising menu costs and decreased spending flexibility. Chains like McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Sonic, and Starbucks are introducing combo meals, $1 menus, and other promotions to win over consumers.
Revenue Management Solutions reported a decrease in restaurant visits, with nearly 40% of respondents cutting back on dining out. Wendy’s has already introduced various value offers, including the $5 Biggie Bag and discounted menu items.
After the $1 Frosty deal, customers can look forward to new promotions from Wendy’s. The chain typically introduces seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice and peppermint to replace treats like the Triple Berry Frosty.
