Move over vanilla.

There’s a new Frosty in town.

First discussed on Math and Musings more than a month ago, fast food titan Wendy’s really does now have an Orange Dreamsicle Frosty on its menu.

And God damn it’s delicious.

As far as I can tell, the first time I wrote about “alternate” Frosty flavors was June of 2022. I had to wait until I was 40 before having a third option following chocolate and vanilla. Now in less than two years Wendy’s has doubled that output, tacking on peppermint, pumpkin spice, and the aforementioned orange. That only one alternate flavor (to the o.g. chocolate) is available at a time is still an issue, but wow, one taste of that orange Frosty and all was forgiven.

Friday on Math and Musings you heard me and Franklin talk about how we haven’t had one yet. That’s an outdated lie. Shortly after we recorded the episode we were in the drive-thru line, waiting for that taste of Heaven.

It was worth the wait.
