History
When the first Wendy's opened in 1969, chocolate was the only flavor available. The actual flavor of the original Frosty is a mixture of chocolate and vanilla. Dave Thomas thought that 100% chocolate was too overpowering a flavor when paired with a Wendy's burger and fries meal. The second Frosty flavor, vanilla, was introduced in 2006. The dessert is available in four sizes: Jr. (6 oz.), small (12 oz.), medium (16 oz.), and large (20 oz.). Frosties are served at 20 °F ± 1 ideally.Advertising
