I may spend a little time on this one because it is a violation of something sacred.
I can never resist trying a variation of an old favorite, like new chocolate bar flavors etc. Naturally, this looked like a must; I was going to buy a Tim Horton's Iced Cap anyway, so I thought I may as well give this Frosty-cino a try instead.
If they had just pured hot coffee over a chocolate frosty, it would have been a lot better. This tastes like a dead bird's ass. That does not taste very good.
Because it's still ice cream, it's not the worst thing you'll ever have, but Wendy's really rushed this product through quality control. Remember when frosties were our friend?
You might have noticed there have been several Frosty variations abound in the past several months. In the fall of 2008, we were introduced to their version of the McFlurry -- Twisted Frosties -- and these are delectable at worst. More recently, we've seen their "hand spun" Frosties in chocolate fudge, vanilla bean and strawberry flavors. I don't know what's hand spun about it, I didn't see anyone operating a churn behind the register; none the less, these get strong enough marks. They also brought out a Frosty float; it tastes like any other float, which is good, but I'm not sure what's so special about it. This F-cino, however, really caps off the descent of the Frosty. Dear Wendy's: Get this product off the market before you ruin Frosties for everybody. My body cannot wait to excrete this.
There's also the Coffee Toffee, if you like little hard bits of toffee in your frosty rather than whipped cream and chocolate drizzle, but otherwise no different than a Frosty-cino.
I think it's the girl from Superbad, but I'm not sure. She needs to get a clue because someone clearly just shot a poison tipped arrow into her brain.
If you needed more reason not to get one of these, here's some nutritional info on the Frosty-cino.
The good old days of Frosties are gone. We need to get back to basics.
Overall score: 50%
Justification: It tastes like an dead bird's ass, but hey, it's still a Frosty
Title from 1980's Coffee Crisp ad campaign
