We tried the new Pumpkin Spice Frosty at Wendy's

Quick take: I tried the new Pumpkin Spice Frosty that debuted today and recommend you immediately swing by your local drive-thru to order one.

• It tastes like a chilled cup of pumpkin pie.

Context: Love it or hate it, the fall flavor is also already on the menu at multiple restaurants, including Starbucks, Dunkin' and more. For many, it signals a seasonal switch before the temperature gets any cooler.

• Many pumpkin items will be available at restaurants until they start winter holiday menus, which usually happens in early November.

The bottom line: While Wendy's strawberry and peppermint Frosty flavors were diluted by hints of vanilla coming through, the subtle vanilla perfectly complements the new pumpkin option.

🎃 Pro tip: Top it with some whipped cream from home!
