I love how ludicrously direct ads used to be. Today they can only imply that so-and-so is happy b/c they use such-and-such a product.

Beautiful stuff…

Some of the issues with fat is not the outward appearance but the inward…the clogging of the arteries. If it’s true that one feels full more quickly and then eats less, then people would stay thinner because of fewer calories. So think about clogged arteries rather than big guts!

Yup. I worked at Wendy’s for 2 yrs in high school. You only have to clean the frosty machine one time to be turned off of them for a while. (notice I didn’t say forever…) Once you flush out the chocolately goodness, there is a lovely layer of lard coating the entire works.
In my high school innocence, I asked a co-worker if the “white goop” was machine grease - like to lube the moving parts - he thought that was pretty funny.

Aww Lance! You should have told us, we could have given you some skin creme or something… that way you wouldn’t have had to shove down ‘fist fulls’ of pig fat!

I think with the oil drenching ALL the food here, it makes you feel “full” quicker and with less food. That could be one reason for the skinny-ness of the people.

It might also have something to do with it being about 400 degrees F from the end of April through the end of October, with no air conditioning anywhere (except in taxis which are kept around 35 degrees F!)

Somebody once told me that Wendy’s frosties are made out of mostly lard. I have no idea if thats true or not, but it would def explain why they taste so good…
