Free Frostys!

May 10th, 2005 Interesting News

This is definitely big news. :) I’m a huge Frosty fan, and this weekend, Wendy’s is giving away a free junior frosty to anyone that stops in. No purchase is necessary. The promotion is being done to thank the customers that supported Wendy’s during the investigation of an alleged finger found in a bowl of Wendy’s chili. So, though I’m quite disgusted with another drain on society trying to take advantage of the system and others for financial gain, I’m thankful that they’ve arrested her and will hopefully put her behind bars for awhile, and that Wendy’s is “doing the right thing”. Enjoy your Frostys!

I can’t wait. *sigh* Actually, what kills me even more is that Fedex hasn’t updated their tracking details since showing me that my iPod left Shanghai May 9th at 9:51 pm. I’m going to be extra antsy for the next 12 days…
