It has been around since the 1930s, but it wasn't until the 1950s when they began using artificial flavors and colors, It was first introduced in 1953 at the Wendy's restaurant in San Francisco. The name "Frosty" comes from the fact that it is served with a cone of vanilla ice cream.

17) The Frosty was created by R.J.Reese, a former employee at Jack in the Box restaurants. Before he had created the Frosty, Rees worked at several other restaurant chains. In addition to creating the Frosty, he also created the French Fries, the Big Mac, the Cheeseburger and the Mountain Dew.

18) In 1984, the first frozen dessert machine was installed in a Wendy's restaurant in Pennsylvania. The machine makes about 100 Frostys per hour.

19) In early 2006, a Wendy's restaurant in Northfield, Minnesota received international media attention when it introduced a new "Dollar Cone" that costs a dollar. This brought allegations of price fixing by the major fast food chains. Within days the Northfield Wendy's manager had stopped using the machine and returned to serving the traditional Frostys.

20) In 2007, the Frosty was voted #1 in a survey of "America's favorite fast food item".

21) In some locations, Wendy's Frosty orders are placed in a special container that has a pull cord which closes the freezer door. When enough orders accumulate, the cord is pulled and the door is closed. This signals the cook to start making the Frosty.

22) A machine that makes Frosty was once patented in the 1930s, but it was never put into production.

23) In the late 1980s and early '90s, there was a competition between the Wendy's and Arby's chains to see who could come up with the best new Frosty flavor.

24) If you're really hungry, a Frosty will bloat you up . In fact, it's probably best to have something to eat before indulging in the frosty.

25) Contrary to popular belief, Wendy's Frosty is NOT made with real ice cream. It's more like frozen desserts that use the name "frost."

26) The drink that gives Wendy's Frosty its name is not a coffee drink, but a soft serve ice cream based beverage called "Froot Loops."

27) If you have road rage, try to get in the car and drive to the Wendy's drive through. Due to their limited locations, it's usually faster to get a Frosty there than it is to get one at a normal Wendy's.

28) The drink that gives Wendy's Frosty its name is not a coffee drink, but a soft serve ice cream based beverage called "Froot Loops."

29) Due to the limited locations of Wendy's, there are certain items that can't be found at their restaurants. This is because when a Wendy's sells something, it takes away business from other locations. This is why you can't order a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger at any Wendy's.

30) If you try to order a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger at a Wendy's, the employee will most likely give you a weird look and say "we don't have that." They may even repeat this phrase three times: "We don't have that. We don't have that. We don't have that.

31) The chain's official color is "blue". However, if you go to a Wendy's, the most likely color you'll see is a yellowish- orange. This color is due to their signature sign which is also yellow in color.

32) Wendy's was originally meant to be called "Wendy's Hamburger Nest." The founder's daughter's name is Wendi. Hence, the name Wendy's.

33) In the 1960s and '70s, you could get a Frosty at Wendy's for a couple of cents (and sometimes for free with the purchase of a meal).

34) In the late 1980s, Wendy's started getting into the frozen food industry by acquiring various operations. In all, Wendy's acquired eight different operations.

35) In the early 2000s, Wendy's started selling chicken wings as a separate item.

36) The " Junior " is a reference to the old saying " follow the leader." When Wendy's came out with their radical advertising campaign, all of their competitors quickly followed suit.

37) In the first place that you'd encounter the " Junior " campaign, you would see a curly-haired girl with large eyes. Curiously, the girl does not blink.

38) The Wendy's "girl" is not an employee of the restaurant. She is a real person who was hired by Wendy's to promote their products.

39) In the early 2000s, Wendy's came out with a radical advertising campaign. The ads showed a curly-haired girl called Wendy. Wendy was the only "character" in the ads.

40) The idea of the campaign was to make people want to "come back" to Wendy's . The ads showed a fantasy world in which Wendy lived.

41) The ads showed that Wendy had a large eye that could see everything. They also showed that Wendy didn't break her "word." The ads showed this by having various people ask Wendy to perform various tasks.

42) The campaign's main catchphrase, "Where's the beef?" became a popular term for when something was suspicious or lacking quality.

43) In the summer of 2003, the "where's the beef?" ads became very popular.

44) Wendy's also had a website for the campaign. The website allowed people to send in pictures of themselves as well as various words that described them. Wendy would then use these descriptions to write new ads.

45) Wendy's stuck with its campaign until the summer of 2009. These were the final "where's the beef?" ads.

46) After the ads stopped running, Wendy's temporarily went back to its original advertising campaign. This time, the ads showed a "regular family" (rather than a fantasy world family).

47) In the summer of 2009, the "regular family" ads too stopped running. Wendy's brought back the "fantasy world" ads in the summer of 2010, but those too ended in the summer of 2012.

48) In the summer of 2012, it was revealed that Wendy's was going back to the "fantasy world" ads.

49) In addition, Wendy's also started offering coupons online. These coupons allowed people to get free products such as cheese sticks or small soda's if they came to Wendy's and ordered them "Jr." sized.

50) It is unknown why Wendy's stopped using the " Jr" size for their products. It wasn't due to any health or safety concerns. (Although, a "Jr." size would still be larger than a kid's size). It is likely that Wendy's had to bring their prices in line with other fast food chains.

51) It also had to do with the fact that in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the "Jr." size was slowly phased out by most fast food chains. Wendy's was the last one still using it. After Wendy's stopped using the "Jr.," many people believed that the whole "Where's the beef?" campaign was a "joke."

52) Wendy's vehemently denies that it ever had any hidden meaning behind its campaign.

53) The "Where's the beef?" ads actually started running on a limited basis on January 1st of 2011.

54) Wendy's has a website, wendys.com, that shows the latest ads.

55) Currently, the website shows a few current ads, but in the future will also have pages for the "fantasy world" and "regular family" campaigns.

56) In addition, there will also be pages that give the history of the various Wendy's campaigns. The website, oddly enough, was created in 1999, but wasn't launched until 2000.

57) In the past, Wendy's has also given out books to people who went into Wendy's restaurants with their location. The books described the various Wendy's campaigns and also had coupons. This was done in an attempt to get people to come back to Wendy's. Whether people actually took the books and used the coupons is unknown, since I've never seen a person with such a book. It's probably in a dump somewhere.

58) Wendy's also used to have a contest where if you found a certain symbol on a menu or in something else, you would get something extra. There was a website for this contest, but it has been shut down.

59) For whatever reason, Wendy's also put out a "Wendy's Colouring" book in the early 2000s. It had pictures of different Wendy's characters and some suggestions for colouring them.
