I guess they think they need some good publicity after that whole "finger in the chili" incident; they're giving away free Frosties all weekend just for asking!

Free is always nice...especially when you just bought your college books for courses getting ready to start and now your broke...free sounds real good right about now

Now do you have to specifically ask for a free one? Or when you order it they will just say thats free?

P.S..o yeah and is there a limit on how many you can get free? lol

Yes. You have to ask for a free frosty and the limit is one per customer. I don't think they're going to remember you, though, if you come back a little later. And if you think they might, you can just wear different clothing or a very large hat, lol :lol:

Yeah, lol :lol:

Jessica, I think they say "at participating stores" or something. But they should either do it or not--with no strings attached.

yeah it's free JR. frosties!!! LOL! My daughter and I had lunch at Wendy's today and they were passing out balloons to all the kids and bringing the free frosties to everyone's table. It was nice though. They were really busy so I'm guessing this is working for them!

Yeah, we were there too today and it was really busy.

I thought I had read somewhere that their fries were gluten free as long as they were cooked in their own frier. But I didn't see it on the list celiac3270 posted. Does anybody know? I hope they are, because I ate some. :unsure:

McDonalds fries are the ones that are gluten free and in a separate fryer. I have a list of Wendy's gluten free products and their fries are not on it.

If you go to their site they have the ingredients for their products on a note below the fries it says they may be used in the same oil as the crispy chicken nuggets and some other things...I definitely would not eat them

I asked them and they said they were cooked seperately.

If they were cooked separately then I would think they are fine. They could have been cooked separately but on their website it says they may be cooked with the same oil.I would get the wendys # and call the main office to see their policy on it and see if the fries can be considered gluten free..

hopefully it was fine and you can keep enjoying them :D

The site I got my info on their fries from said different Wendy's have different policies where cooking in seperate oil is concerned so you have to ask at each one.

LOL, I'm finally going to go to a Wendy's today for the free frosty. Then if I like it go back in with sunglasses on and ask for another, lol, just kidding.

They may have been gluten-free in your case, but I still wouldn't want to eat their fries if there's no set policy...and the people behind the counter might not really know or care what you're asking about--I've found that in McDonalds they yes me all the time--is it made in a dedicated fryer or only with other gluten-free products? The glazed eyes, bored stare, and constant yes, yes, yes. I prefer McD's though where the company actually certifys that the fries are gluten-free--and if they screw it up, you can complain, cause it goes against company policy--you can't with Wendy's.

I guess I won't eat them anymore, because it's better to be safe than sorry! And they're not so great that I will miss them. McD's are yummier anyways. I should just stop eating fries, because they are all bad for you regardless if they are gluten-free or not. :lol:

Is there any risk of cross contamination with the Frosty? Or is the machine clean? Clean, meaning gluten-free, of course! lol

Pardon the dumb question, I assume if everyone is eating them they must be safe b/c you guys are the gold standard for finding out if it's gluten-free in my opinion:)

No question here is dumb :D

Yes, to my knowledge only frostys are made in the machine they come out of and I know Frosty's are gluten free. That's one of the only things I trust from Wendy's.

My friend went there and ordered something and made the cashier account for all 10 fingers :lol:

LOL they are getting so much crap for that woman's finger case and it wasn't even real!!!

Wasn't there a case, though, recently with a man who really did find a part of a finger and it was legitimate?

Yep theres more about that in a thread in the gab room from a while ago. His case was legitimate...doesn't look like he's out to fraud anyone.

Even though the Wendy's case wasn't "real" I still find myself looking through the frosty's for chuncks :lol:

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
