Accepted Answer

Yes. Wendy's sources fresh, never-frozen North American beef that is delivered to restaurants at 40°F or below and cooked within hours of arrival.

The Biggie Bag adds a sandwich with nuggets, fries, and a drink, and the Biggie Bundle stacks two sandwiches.

Question 18

Is Wendy's Frosty a milkshake?

Accepted Answer

No — a Frosty is technically a 'soft-serve frozen dairy dessert,' not a milkshake. It's thicker than a milkshake but thinner than soft-serve ice cream.

How does Wendy's compare to McDonald's?

Accepted Answer

Wendy's and McDonald's are the two biggest burger chains in the US. McDonald's has 13,000+ US locations versus Wendy's 6,000+.

Question 26
