Wendy’s may soon be taking a page out of McDonald’s playbook.
Food bloggers @snachwithzach and @sodaseekers collaborated on an Instagram reel to reveal that Wendy’s is making major changes to the iconic Frosty in the coming months.
The reported plan — which they cited to a leaked internal memo provided by “an anonymous source” — would allow customers to customize their Frosty with the new Frosty Swirls and Frosty Fusions.
According to the duo, the Frosty Swirl will let customers add caramel, strawberry or brownie batter swirl to any Frosty — similar to the looks of the Girl Scouts’ Thin Mint Frosty. They said that this will be added to the menu in April.
For the Frosty Fusion, they said that customers can mix in “sauce and various sweet treats” to a chocolate or vanilla Frosty. Though no specific flavors or treats were mentioned, the food bloggers said that people can expect something similar to mix-ins like the Oreo and M&M McFlurries from McDonald’s or Blizzards from Dairy Queen.
The Frosty Fusion will reportedly launch mid-May.
“The potential of this is massive,” @snachwithzach said in the reel. “The biggest question I have is how this is going to affect limited-time offerings.”
“One of the most popular frozen desserts in fast food, the Frosty has gotten most of its updates in the form of limited-time flavor changes, often using the existing Vanilla flavor as the base for some of its more rambunctious options including Pumpkin Spice, Orange Dreamsicle, and Salted Caramel,” the caption read.
“It’s a move that’s highly competitive, and some might argue much overdue.”
However, @snachwithzach reiterated that Wendy’s has not yet confirmed the news but their source is “very reliable.”
The Post has reached out to Wendy’s for comment.
Fans jumped to the comments section to share their excitement about the potential new offerings.
“They had these back when I was working at Wendy’s in the late 00s. so glad to see these coming back,” one person wrote.
“the best news of the year so far,” another said.
“Yessss finally,” someone commented. “I dont know why Wendy’s didn’t always do this. Fries are a grip dipper but…to have brownies or some other dessert option makes me happy.”
“They indeed used to have something like this!! I started there in 2006 and we had them then 🙂 so excited to see them come back,” a commenter said.
