Wendy's Unveils New Summer Frosty, but People Are Dying for This Classic Flavor

With the start of summer just around the corner, there couldn’t be a better time to pick up an ice-cold treat. Luckily, Wendy’s has you covered — the chain just released its Triple Berry Frosty, a blend of strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry.

 Wendy’s website describes the Frosty as “thick” and “creamy,” adding that “the best berry of all is more berry.” The new dessert offering will replace the chain’s ultra-popular spring menu item, the Orange Dreamsicle Frosty.

And with an affordable price range of $1.29-$3.29, saving money while eating out is a breeze. 

The Triple Berry Frosty debuts on Monday, June 10, in stores across the U.S., making it the latest of the chain’s seasonal items. While it's unclear exactly how long the flavor will be available, it’s safe to guess — based on the Orange Dreamsicle’s three-month run — that it’ll only be on the menu for a few months. 

You may also remember previous seasons' flavors; last summer’s strawberry frosty, last fall’s pumpkin spice frosty, and last winter’s peppermint frosty all followed similar months-long menu availability.

There were many mixed reactions to the news of the Triple Berry Frosty on social media. 

One food reviewer who goes by the username @snackolator did not approve of the latest flavor. “It tastes like cough syrup, it really does,” they said in a post reviewing the item. “It’s got like a berry taste but there’s like an aftertaste that reminds me of DayQuil.” 

 One commenter who tried the flavor disagreed and said they “loved it.” 

“It tastes like the @costco Berry Sundae all blended up.” 

While many people seemed to be on board with the chain’s latest flavor, many also just wanted some of the old flavors back on the menu. 

“Boooooo!!!!! Make the orange dreamsicle frosty permanent!!!!!!!” one person commented. 

“They should just bring back the vanilla and call it a day,” someone else wrote.

Wendy’s recently launched its newest chicken nuggets, the “Saucy Nuggs,” nationwide June 10. Previously only available for order on the app, the new nuggs are now accessible beyond the mobile menu.

Saucy Nuggs comes in seven flavor options — mild Honey BBQ, Garlic Parm, Buffalo, and more kicky Spicy Honey BBQ, Spicy Garlic Parm, Spicy Buffalo, and Spicy Ghost Pepper. Regardless of your preferences, the restaurant promises on its website that each flavor is “crafted to perfection.”

If you want to try the newest Frosty flavor and see how it stacks up to the Orange Dreamsicle, visit to your local Wendy’s today — and hile you’re there, grab some Saucy Nuggs on the side.
