So, I just came back from Wendy's and noticed they introduced a new Vanilla Frosty™ this week. I throughly enjoyed it, but it was weird.

Anybody else try one?

[jokell82]

Is it just a thick vanilla malt?

Wendy's, my favorite fast food joint.

Well, it's in most locations already, but not everywhere from what I understand. I think it just rolled out this past Monday, so it's brand-new.

Hey New Daddy-O!

Is it just a thick vanilla malt?

What's different about it from the previous one?

[Art Vandelay]

No, it's a thick vanilla shake. The difference from the other frosty is that it's vanilla. The first one is chocolate.

I don't get their decision to make it just THAT thickness (viscosity).

Too thick for a straw. Too shake-like to enjoy as real ice cream. But not ice creamy smooth when frozen.

Lots of people love it and it IS a Wendy's exclusive.

But, I don't get it.

[the macimum]

It definately is a good mix, by that I mean the chocolate, the vanilla tastes weird, probably because i'm not used to it.

However the original frosty is really just a thick chocolate malt. That's why I'd expect this one to have malt as well...

[rickey939]

I do consider it more of a malt-type beverage, but it's got a great "homemade" vanilla flavoring to it.

[Art Vandelay]

There's no malt in any of the frosties. I love malt and have never tasted any hint of malt flavoring in a frosty.

Milk, Sugar, Cream, Nonfat Dry Milk, Corn Syrup, Whey, Cocoa, Dextrose, Guar Gum, Cellulose Gum, Mono and Diglycerides, Carrageenan, Disodium Phosphate, Artificial and Natural Flavors. CONTAINS: MILK.

Some Wendy's used to sell chocolate chip cookies and Frostys, but now they all sell chocolate and vanilla Frostys and no cookies. This fills my heart with sorrow as I deeply enjoyed their cookies.

[brassplayersrock²]

will be having the first taste right....now.

meh

not impressed

ps
i asked and the wendys across the street got them in this morning.

edit:
okay, now that i have been having it for a bit, this can become very addictive

[ghporter]

There's no malt in a Frosty™, just chocolate (and now vanilla). A malt includes malt powder, which has a specific taste all its own.

Up until recently, Starbucks had malt as a flavoring. A Mocha Frapuchino™ with malt makes one GREAT drink. But, sadly, the coffee masters decided that it wasn't enough of a draw, so they dropped malt. Sigh...

[brassplayersrock²]

just ask for it ghporter. the ones in boston don't have it advertised, but if I ask they'll put it in for you.

update:

my stomach is NOT liking this thing. it hurts like hell

[Spliffdaddy]

The 'original' frosty was a blend of chocolate and vanilla. It was decided that the vanilla would take the edge off *just* chocolate so the flavor of the rest of the meal wouldn't be overpowered.

Take (2) Chocolate Frosty's™ and call Dave Thomas in the morning.

..Thats why you get a spoon. I've never had a problem with it. Its soft serve ice cream.

[misc]

The way I understand it is the vanilla is the base and you can add stuff like M&M's and other candy. The vanilla Frosty was decent but I can't wait to try it with some candy.

My question is, how do you type that cool superscript TM?

Oh, and, I like square burgers.

[TheoCryst]

Mmm, had one the other day. Vanilla Frosty™ = t3h good. I'm not a fan of chocolate ice cream normally, but I always liked Frosties™. Now they are just super-good. Yay Wendy's!

Option-2.

As Jim Paradise aptly pointed out, "Option-2."

OR...

In Safari click on "EDIT."

Then in the pull down menu click on, "Special Characters..."

In the "Character Pallette" search for the symbol you wish.

I found ™ on line 2120 of the UNICODE TABLE.

I met Dave Thomas once, he was a emcee at a boat parade in Fort Lauderdale along with Miss America at the time. Nice guy, nice food!

Wendy's is good for a fast food place, but Chick-Fil-A is the best.

Chick-Fil-A's are great, but they have no Frosty's.™

Also, they are not all over the place.

...which sucks for those places.

Barely.
The Frosty is about the least chocolate-tasting shake going.

[iREZ]

i dislike wendy's food but LOVE their frosty's and prefer vanilla over chocolate so this sounds real promising.

[brassplayersrock²]

yeah, went to bed with a really bad stomach ache, and this morning threw up. all i had was a large vanilla shake from wendys

Um, try eating some food. Man cannot survive on Frosty™ alone.

[brassplayersrock²]

Maybe you are allergic to Delicious®?

Not around here-they were required to pull it as of July 31. I asked... Every one in the area that I get anywhere near "no longer offers" malt. Still sad.

How's the stomach? Did you eat something that didn't agree with you, or are you really sick?

[brassplayersrock²]

the stomach was still upset after classes today, took a imodium about an hour ago, which seems to be helping a lot. nothing that i could think of could have been screwed with my stomach to do what it did, ohh could of been the beetles i had the stomach is better though, thank you.

[krillbee]

had the vanilla frosty yesterday. it tasted wonderful!
no stomach problems either.

Wendys definately needed this in their food lineup. now all they need are better buns for their sandwhiches (like McDs) and ill be satisfied with their restaurant.

Longer than that, actually. When we upgraded to VBB 3, (I think) the interface changed so that I couldn't use Alt-numbers combinations on my PC to insert non-keyboard characters. This more recent issue has a lot of us stumpped, but it's similar: the interface sees keystrokes differently than we expect, so you get weird characters, and not what you want. I've been keeping a text file of my favorite characters (including the ever popular ®) handy so I just copy and paste what I want. It's a bummer.
