After I paid $4.31 a while back for a large chocolate Frosty, was handed a 12 ouncer, and was assured that it was not a mistake when I insisted that I'd ordered a large, I decided to part ways with Wendy's. Shrinkflation with the Frosty's, hyperinflation with their burgers...fuck 'em. I'll make my own burgers.

How many ounces did their large frosty used to be?

It was 20 oz. for a long time, but I feel like I remember a time in the mid 90s when it was 24 oz. And the price has gone up as well, I definitely wasn't paying $4 and tax for a large Frosty back then.
