We’re all finding ways to make the most of our time indoors. Fortunately, our favorite fast-food restaurants are still doing drive-thru and delivery, so we can still have a Baconator or Dave’s Double burger. Now, Wendy’s is offering a gift to customers—a FREE Frosty with every drive-thru order!
FYI: The Frosty formula is a secret.
How Do I Get a Free Frosty?
Since Wendy’s dining rooms are closed for the time being, this freebie is a way of spreading goodwill.
The free junior-size Frosty is available in either vanilla or chocolate. You just have to place at order at the Wendy’s drive-thru. (It might be pretty difficult to keep your Frosty chilled with delivery orders, so that’s probably for the best.)
There’s no official word on how long this promotion will last at Wendy’s, though the offer is likely to be a thing as long as the coronavirus outbreak persists. We appreciate the perk, Wendy’s.
More Fast-Food Chains Have Deals, Too
KFC and Chipotle are doing free delivery, Starbucks and Taco Bell are still doing drive-thru and to-go orders and Burger King has been giving away two free kids meals with the purchase of an adult meal.
