Scott and SadieMove over, gym memberships—there’s a new deal in town to ensure you’ll never stick to your New Year’s resolutions. Wendy’s is back with its $3 Frosty Key Tag promotion for 2025, and it’s a sweet deal. Literally. For just three bucks, you can snag a key tag that gets you a free Junior Frosty with every purchase for an entire year. That’s 365 days of sugar-filled bliss—or 365 tiny cups of guilt, depending on your vibe.
The Rules: Simple, But Annoying
Here’s the catch: you don’t just waltz into Wendy’s, flash your shiny key tag, and walk out with your frozen treat. Oh no, this isn’t that kind of freebie. You actually have to buy something else first. Want that free Junior Frosty? Better add a burger, fries, or—let’s be real—a regret-filled salad to your order. It’s a classic bait-and-switch: get ‘em in the door for free ice cream, then watch them shell out $12 on “value” combos.
Junior Size = Junior Joy
And let’s talk about the size here. A Junior Frosty is about as satisfying as a sip of melted milkshake. Don’t expect to relive your childhood with one of those generously-portioned Frostys from back in the day. Nope, this is Frosty Lite, designed to leave you wanting more—and buying more.
But Hey, It’s for a Good Cause
To be fair, the promotion isn’t all shameless marketing. Wendy’s donates proceeds from the Frosty Key Tags to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. So at least while you’re drowning your sorrows in semi-frozen chocolate goo, you can feel good about helping a great cause.
The Bottom Line
If you’re a die-hard Wendy’s fan or just someone who enjoys holding tiny cups of icy disappointment, this deal’s for you. But for the rest of us, maybe save your three bucks and just grab a real Frosty the next time your fries are begging for a chocolate dip.
