Wendys, you're on my list

So if you watch TV at all and don't fast forward through the commercials, you know that Wendy's now has their small size Frosty for 99 cents. I've been obsessed with them for a month or so because 1) they are delicious and 2) they are only 99 cents, so it's perfect for daily pregnancy snacks.

In fact, as I watch this SEC football game, which is sponsored by Wendys, I've seen no fewer than 5 commercials for this tasty treat.

Our Wendy's is right down the road. We actually have a couple, but the one down the road is so convenient. But the past couple of times we've gone they said their machine was down. I thought to myself, "wow, the advertising campaign must be working."

Then Friday night, Hubby tried to stop by and get a Frosty for me as a surprise and they told him they only had ONE machine, so they could only make one flavor at a time. They only serve chocolate Frostys every other day and vanilla on the off days, so that we should call before we come to make sure they have them.

Several things are wrong with this. 

1. We're talking about a FROSTY, not some fancy restaurant. Are they really telling us we have to call and make reservations for a Frosty? I mean is Wendy's black tie optional now? 
2. Who actually orders a vanilla Frosty? Even my sister, who loves vanilla cake, icing, and ice cream, prefers the chocolate Frosty. I mean, it's a classic. Who hasn't enjoyed a cold, creamy Frosty on a hot summer's day? It's the all American treat. Then somebody had to decide to mess with a good thing and create those God awful vanilla ones. I haven't tried a vanilla Frosty but I believe it's akin to saying, "Hey, you know, Christmas on December 25 is good, but you know what might be more convenient for all? Let's have it on December 30. That way we can just have Christmas and then New Year's Eve and New Year's Day all in the same week." 
3. Here is a novel idea: GET A NEW FROSTY MACHINE. I'm sure the thousands of locations have multiple Frosty machines, so tell me why it's so difficult for ours to have the same thing? I mean Wendy's is spending probably a quarter of a million dollars on advertising their Frosty's, yet we are unable to get the kind they are advertising. Bull crap is what it is.

It's just cruel and unusual punishment to make a pregnant lady look at Frosty's on the screen for 8 hours on a Saturday and then not be able to serve her one.

Do you eat chocolate or vanilla Frosty's?
