FrankenFrosty's Wendy's Frosty Contains Seaweed!!!

Wendy's Frosty requires 14 ingredients to create what traditional shakes achieve with only milk and ice cream. Mostly a barrage of thickening agents that include guar gum, cellulose gum, and carrageenan(yeah, that's right seaweed). And while that's enough to disqualify it as a milkshake in our book, it's nothing compared with the Mad Scientist oooh I mean..chemist's list of ingredients in the fast food new line of bulked-up Frankenfrosties.

Check out the Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty, for instance. It seems harmless enough; the only additions, after all, are "coffee syrup" and "coffee toffee pieces." The problem is that those two additions collectively contain 25 extra ingredients, seven of which are sugars and three of which are oils. And get this: Rather than a classic syrup, the "coffee syrup" would more accurately be described as a blend of water, high-fructose corn syrup, and propylene glycol, a laxative chemical that's used as an emulsifier in food and a filler in electronic cigarettes. Of all 10 ingredients it takes to the make the syrup, coffee doesn't show up until near the end

The vanilla frosty part of it contains milk, sugar, corn syrup, cream, whey, nonfat dry milk, guar gum, mono and diglycerides, natural and artificial flavor, cellulose gum, carrageenan, calcium sulfate, disodium phosphate, dextrose, annatto color, and vitamin A palmitate. The strawberry shake syrup is made up of water, high fructose corn syrup, sweetened strawberries (strawberries and sugar), corn syrup, natural flavor, citric acid, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate ( a preservative), red 40, and blue 1.(red huh? I bet those red beetles are in this shake.)

2. A Wendy's Strawberry Frosty Shake wouldn't be complete without the whipped cream. It contains cream, milk, sugar, dextrose, and less than 1% of sorbitan monostearate, artificial flavor, carrageenan, mixed tocopherols (vitamin E to protect flavor), nitrous oxide (propellant). May contain corn syrup, mono and diglycerides, and natural flavors.


They also make carrageenan with sex lubricants and some ice cream...
