Wendy’s Frosty and the DQ Blizzard
The Frosty is truly a modern marvel. Is it a beverage? Is it a food? Who knows, man.
The American Heritage says:
food: Nourishment eaten in solid form.
beverage: Any one of various liquids for drinking, usually excluding water.
Well, going by this alone, I’d say the Frosty is a beverage. But you can’t really suck it through a straw until it melts, right? So is it a solid or a liquid?
solid: a. Of definite shape and volume; not liquid or gaseous. b. Firm or compact in substance.
liquid: The state of matter in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow, little or no tendency to disperse, and relatively high incompressibility.
I would have to say that the Frosty is definitely a liquid then, based on the fact that it doesn’t have a definite shape. DQ Blizzards, on the other hand… I mean, they turn those mothers upside down and they don’t go ANYWHERE. They are firm and they don’t flow. That makes me believe they’re solid and if it’s a solid then it’s a food. Am I right?
