Today on the way home from the beach, Jed and I were driving through the small town of Eufala, AL and stopped at Wendy's for lunch. I don't eat much fast food anymore. If I do, it's usually Chic-fil-A. But it's hard to avoid fast food on a road trip, and being that there wasn't much to choose from in Eufala, Wendy's it was!
I cannot go to Wendy's without getting a Frosty. This softserve ice cream is the perfect blend of chocolaty sweetness. I love when it starts melting around the edges. But most importantly, it reminds me of childhood. My best friend's mom used to always take Lara and me through the Wendy's drive-thru to get Frostys.
Nowadays when you order a Frosty, you have to specify which flavor...Chocolate or Vanilla? I always forget this, because when I was a child, these options didn't exist. It was chocolate..that was it; plain, simple and delicious. Wendy's has even ventured into making the "Frosty-cino", which is their version of a Frappacino. They continue to try and remorph the Frosty with Frosty shakes, Frosty floats and then the Twisted Frosty, which is basically a rip-off of the Dairy Queen blizzard (another childhood reminder).
But no matter how enticing the marketing team at Wendy's tries to make those imposter Frostys look, nothing can replace the original chocolate Frosty. The Frosty of the Frostys. Because it takes me back to those days as a child going through the drive thru with Lara after one of our tennis clinics or just riding through town running errands on a hot summer day. Yummy.
