I prefer the ice cream at Sonic, but the qty of toppings mixed in the blizzard (altho the blizzards are also too darn expensive imo.)

My regular is a Sonic Blast Oreo.



(this pretty much sums it up around here, but can add others too.)

You can't compare one from Wendy's to either as the others have all crazy toppings and stuff on them.

Wendys: coffee toffee, oreo, m&m's, cookie dough.
Sonic: oreo, heath bar?, snickers, m&m's (and a rotating special)
Blizzard: a bunch...

I dunno if they're just a So. Cal thing, but Twisters from Fosters Freeze are pretty damn good :)

Hmm I didn't know Wendy's had all that.

in terms of pure, thick, creamy density, the Blizzard wins out. They're held upside down without dripping for a reason :p

Frosty if I want cold, light and chocolately.

Culvers cement mixer if I want fully leaded gut busting levels of frozen fat & sugar.

Ice cream sucks??? You sir need to be deported to North Korea. I'm lactose intolerant as well and I still love ice cream.

I usually prefer DQ's, but Sonic is the only restaurant close to me. I really like the Snickers Blast. It's supposed to be a temporary flavor, but hopefully they'll keep it.

Agree about LI, but that's probably one of the harsher assessments about ice cream that I've heard. ;) (altho it can be said that if ice cream is so great, why do people need to add all this sh!t to it. :p)

Snickers blast is cool...I wish they kept the sticky bun if it weren't so sweet. They need cookie dough imo. I've got the top 3 on the list all w/in 1.5 miles.

Meant to vote "other" as I mix up a good one with goat milk, frozen berries, banana, ice, pure vanilla extract, and fresh mint. Hopefully our raspberries will fruit this year so I can stop buying the berries. Of the ones listed, though, I definitely am all about the simplicity of the Wendy's. Tip: Have you tried mixing your fries into a Wendy's frosty? The starchiness of the potatoes and bit of saltiness blend perfectly with the unknown sugary substance that is Frosty.

those aren't Frosties, they're new bastardizations of what a Frosty is. They have Frosty floats now, I understand they have to stay competitive. But until recently a Frosty was Chocolate and that's that. The demise of the Frosty started when they began offering it in Vanilla. Adding M&M's and shit is blasphemy. It would be like In-N-Out adding Bacon to a Double Double. I don't care if it would make it better. Some things are best left un fucked with.

I should go find a DQ and try a Blizzard... don't have Sonics around here... Frosties are pretty good already.
