Wendy's Strawberry Frosty Shake Product Review

Sometimes I get cravings for ice cream, but I'm not an ice cream "lover". Whenever I get a craving, no other food hits the spot. Ordinarily, though, I can take it or leave it. I feel the same way about milkshakes. They taste good, but I rarely order one. I like to eat a Wendy's Frosty now and then. When the company introduced their Frosty Shakes, I was curious how well I'd like them, if at all! Read this informative Wendy's Strawberry Frosty Shake product review and find out all about it!

Price and Availability
At a local Wendy's restaurant, I paid $2.39 for a small, 12-ounce Strawberry Frosty Shake. The cup is pretty good sized- I can't imagine drinking a large one! The cup is clear plastic with a plastic raised lid that has a hole in the top. So you can see the pink milkshake that fills up the entire cup. The lid was filled with whipped cream and had a Maraschino cherry on top. I must say, looking at a Wendy's Strawberry Frosty Shake, the presentation is excellent. It looks really good!

Taste Test and Conclusion
Guy tasted my Wendy's Strawberry Frosty Shake and loved it as much as I did. For taste and texture, I give it 10 stars out of 10! In my opinion, it's perfect. There's nothing that can be changed to make it any better. Unless the company can make it calorie free, that is!
