Fans of [Wendy's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosty-frights-kids-meal) iconic [Frosty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-frosty) drink can now wear their fandom on their keyring with the chain's new Frosty Key Tags. Not only are the keyrings a fun accessory, but they also help support a good cause.

Customers can buy one of the Frosty Key Tags at any participating Wendy's restaurant or through the Wendy's app, and via Door Dash. The $2 keyring allows them to "get a free Junior Frosty for an entire year." 85% of all proceeds from sales of the Frosty Key Tags are then donated to the [Dave Thomas Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boo-bag-meal) for Adoption, which helps children in foster care find permanent homes.

If Frosty's are your drink of choice, the keyrings are a great way to give back and enjoy your favorite chilly treat.
