What is the best way to eat a Frosty? It's debatable

“There’s some debate on how to enjoy a Frosty,” the chain writes in a press release, highlighting out the treat is somewhere between a milkshake and soft-serve ice cream. “A spoon? Straw? With fries?” 

According to a national survey conducted by the chain, 70% of Frosty fans use a spoon while Gen Z customers are the most likely to choose a french fry as their preferred utensil.
