Refrigerator or Freezer? Best storage methods?

edit

What are the best short-term storage methods? We buy 5-6 Frostys and invite friends over and eat them 6 hours later. They would melt if left room temperature, but after they are in the freezer they loose the original "Wendy's texture", becoming a bit more icy. We'd like to know the melting temperature, and whether it's better to store it in the refrigerator or the freezer. ClintJCL (talk) 04:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Chocolate or Not Chocolate

edit

I've always thought Frosties tasted more like frosted malt than chocolate. In fact, I'm not sure why many people think it's chocolate. Frosties taste delicious, but they don't exactly taste like chocolate.

The boxes at Wendy's say "Chocolate Frosty Mix". The Kids Aren't Alright 04:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's an equal blend of chocolate and vanilla, I think. I saw it on the Food Network once. Sykil 02:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I'd say that's correct. If you mix vanilla and chocolate ice cream together (or take vanilla ice cream and stir chocolate syrup into it) you get something that looks and tastes remarkably like a Frosty. Kairos 13:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why do so many people think a Frosty is nondairy?

edit

Many people claim it's a non-dairy product, and I even have a friend who told me it was made with soy. Why does this myth persist?

I guess that's because Frosties are so icey that it doesn't seem like there could be dairy. Just smile at them and laugh when you get home. ;) --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 04:57, 27 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Frosty as a Soquid

edit

It is also known as a Soquid (Solid + Liquid) that you can eat with a fpoon (Frosty + Spoon). How you eat a Frosty with a Frosty and Spoon is a mystery to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.100.147.183 (talkcontribs)

-- Well, you can only eat a Frosty if you have a Frosty and a spoon, right? If you have only a spoon, how do you eat the Frosty if it isn't there? Therefore, Frosty + Spoon = How to eat a Frosty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.130.212 (talkcontribs)

The logic seems a little off here: e.g. What to eat spaghetti with: with spaghetti and a fork? Most people would just say "with a fork", not "with spaghetti and a fork". Also, the word "with" means "accompanied by". So are you saying in order to eat a Frosty, you have to accompany it with ANOTHER frosty and then a spoon? I can barely eat one! Either way, the awful advertising campaign has fortunately come to an end.


---It's the whole Soquid part that's incorrect. A Frosty is an amorphous solid that melts a a low temperature, turning partially into a liquid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.71.51.102 (talkcontribs)

The "soquid" thing is a joke appearing in Wendy's promotional materials. Bradd 23:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Verify This!

edit

I removed this line from the article until verified: --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 04:48, 27 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

As it turns out the Frosty material is most likely a bingham plastic (until it melts), rather than the so-called "soquid."

Uhh... I'd say a Frosty is simply a highly-viscous liquid. - SigmaEpsilonΣΕ 14:06, 21 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Move?

Soft serve ice cream?

edit

I feel that designating the Frosty as soft-serve ice cream is not the best classification. A Frosty is actually ice milk as it contains no cream. It is indeed a "frozen dairy dessert" as the page title indicates, but the section in which it is referred to as ice cream should probably be rewritten. 69.139.23.137 (talk) 00:07, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Ice+cream?r=75&src=ref&ch=dic http://www.wendys.com/food/Nutrition.jsp 1. Ice cream doesn't necessarily need cream. 2. It does have cream. Justinarice (talk) 03:05, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Soft serve ice cream isn't ice cream, it is ice milk bu USDA definition. Per WP:Common name, we use the term soft serve ice cream because it is the most prevalent term in the US. BTW, ice cream does not have to have cream either... --Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 03:34, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
