Description
Thick N' Frosty was a tasty frozen milk-shake mix packaged in plastic tubs, and was on the market for only a few years - early 70's, I think - made by Birds' Eye Foods. I only remember the chocolate version, which had an ice-cream-like consistency and that slightly reddish (Red No. 2??) tinge common to chocolate-flavored foods in the 70's. You prepared it by putting about a cup of the mix in a tall glass, filling it to the top with milk, and stirring it with a fork. The end product was very thick, almost like a frozen pudding. I seem to remember a TV commercial from that time for Thick N' Frosty starring child actor Mason Reese.

I grew up in Calumet Michigan during 1968-1972. My Mom would buy us thick n frosty shakes as a reward if we were good at the store. They were so great. I wonder why the company stopped making them.

This was a favorite at our house too. Does anyone remember another shake product from the 60s? It was a powder (chocolate? vanilla?) that came in a triangular package and that you mixed up with milk in a special brown shaker. Can't remember the name.

My brother loved Thick N' Frosty chocolate. They kinda had that Cool Whip aftertaste and left an oily residue in the glass. I think parents were so willing to buy these so they wouldn't have to make trips to places like Baskin & Robbins and Dairy Queen.

My father and I used to love those shakes. I was only about 7 at that time. I remember how disappointed we were when they stopped appearing at the local Shop Rite.
