My sister has done that since she was a kid. Half the time, on mentioning it to a friend, I got a "Oh, I do that too, you should try it.". Never did get up the courage.

Just try it... with the original flavor. I've done this about 1 or 2 times a year for over 20 years and it's a heavenly treat on a dry, hot day. Enjoy!

I've kind of eliminated fast food from my diet several years ago, but I used to dip my fries in my frosty or shake all the time. It is just a great sweet and salty combo. Kind of like peanuts in a Coke.

I'd give the vanilla a try, but I can't imagine it would be as good as the chocolate. Yum!

I think it's somewhat common to dip fries into a milkshake. My BK fries last night had a little blurb on the back about the "right to fries" that included the right to dip them into your vanilla shake.

I stick to ketchup, bbq sauce, or ranch dressing if it's there. I also dip my pizza into ranch, bleu cheese, or garlic sauce if the pizza company provides it.

Gross? Sure. Fat = flavor.

I love ordering a chocolate shake and fries from McDonalds so I can have both at the same time. They are the perfect mix of salt and sweet.

I don't know about fries, but 25 years ago my younger brother ordered me a Frosty "and lots of packages of crackers". He then taught me to break the saltines into bite-size pieces and mix a handful at a time into the top layer of the Frosty and eat it with a spoon. It was so good! You can't add too much at one time, cause they'll get soggy before you eat them. I still do this sometimes.

I always found the Frosty confusing. Too thick to sip, too runny to eat. Like a milkshake with too little milk, and only in one flavor.

I suppose some poor souls are so driven to madness by this confusing concoction that they try to use a fry as a compromise.

Frosty with fries is rather disturbing. What is next? Pop-Tart double cheeseburger? Wait, that could be good. Not.

OH yeah, I love dipping fries in the frosty. I would probably try dipipng in the new vanilla...but I doubt it would be as good as the original chocolate.

Lighten up popfitnez......someone sounds like a health nut.

Crackers and Frosty is awesome. The slight saltiness from the crackers and the sweet and chocolate-ness from the frosty. The best. And you can usually grab as many packets of crackers as you want.

I don't crush them up personally...I scoop with the crackers. Making it a sort of Frosty-salsa.

What is even better is a chocolate sundae from McDonalds with fries! The salty fries go perfectly with the chocolate topping. This is very common practise here in Australia. YUMMMMMM

Especially good when the fries are really hot! I thought this was the weirdest thing when a high-school girlfriend of mine exposed me to the practice...but one taste and you're a believer!

I've been dipping my french fries in chocolat shakes (although it was McD's) for almost thirty years!

Sweet and salty, my favorite.

Count me in as a "fry dipper" too. I had a girlfriend in high school that turned me on to the practice, and I've been doing it ever since. Although to be perfectly honest, I'm much more likely to eat at a diner or "classic" burger place (think Johnny Rockets) than Wendy's these days.

But yes, ice-cold, creamy chocolately goodness combined with searing hot, salty fries is wonderful!

I do the Frosty and crackers thing too. It's the best!!!

i thought everyone did this. i don't like the frosty as much as the chocolate shake at mc d's. but i started with my dad teaching me how when i was really little at bob's big boy in los angeles. and according to him, he'd been doing it since he was a little boy.

I am 45 years old and I have been dipping my fries in shakes for as long as I can remember!!! The first time I did that in front of my husband(then boyfriend)-he freaked out but has since gotten used to it!! I haven't tried the vanilla frosty yet--But I WILL!!! But I agree with Chris--It can't be as good as dippin in the good ole chocolate frosty!!!

I've been a dipper since I can remember eating at Wendy's. For the disbelievers, note that for the best flavor, the fries have to be scalding hot, to where you wouldn't want to eat them yet.. then dip that in the frosty and the sweet ice cream headache mixed with the salty scalding potato on the inside... it's one of the best treats ever. Once the fries cool off, it's not so great... so I usually only get to dip half the box.

Today I tried it with the new vanilla flavor... not so great. Tastes like french fries and ice cream... not the same thing. The frosty does have a nice vanilla flavor, it's just not as good as the other flavor, it's not signature at all, it's just another flavor. Tastes more like what McD's vanilla shakes were before the thriple-thick days... when it was all foamy and artificial tasting.
