Wendy’s new Frosty in partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA makes its debut today! According to Wendy’s, its newest limited edition Frosty combines the “flavor of two iconic fan favorites — Girl Scout Thin Mints and our beloved Frosty dessert — for a delectable, minty treat.” And, as it noted, “everyone knows Thin Mints are extra delicious when frozen,” which, honestly, is impossible to argue with as it’s a verifiable fact. Best of all, fans can enjoy the new Thin Mints swirl in either a Wendy’s Classic Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty.
The development team behind the Thin Mints Frosty wanted to play up the concept of frozen Girl Scout Thin Mints, based on the widely circulated belief that these cookies taste even better straight out of the freezer. Simply adding crumbled frozen cookie pieces to the Frosty didn’t satisfy the developers (not to mention Dairy Queen did exactly that with the Blizzard years ago). Instead, Wendy’s came up with a chocolate swirl inspired by Girl Scout Thin Mints, which exists somewhere between cookie butter and ice cream fudge topping. Being able to try the Thin Mints Frosty in vanilla or chocolate adds another layer of intrigue to Wendy’s Thin Mints innovation.
