They were probably two different promotions that got a little bit too close for an unfortunately funny effect… “Beat Diabetes,” as in some of their profits go to help people with diabetes and “Get 5 Jr. Frostys for $1″ as exactly what it says.
There was a similar scheme in the UK with Cadbury’s, a chocolate manufacturer, donating money to schools to pay for sports equipment. Turned out that in order to pay for anything decent, the kids would have needed to eat the equivalent of a chocolate horse or something…
having problems with your memory? I, for one, can say that i am neither fat no diabetic and therefore know that diabeetus is neither a verb nor even a word.
Not exactly like that one. In that showdown, it was BelAir getting burned. In this one it’s aaaaanon and his butt-buddy b.p. getting owned. See the difference? Oh, and butt-buddy b.p. : it wasn’t a spray, it was a tube of lubricant jelly. Unfortunately you two have used it all up on each other…. Sodomy WIN!
Well then …
Enjoy your frosty, your diabetegenic corn syrup, your neurotoxic monosodium glutamate, your fat, and your pending amputation.
Dave Thomas died of congestive heart failure, which is, incidentally, another spinoff condition of diabetes, along with diabetic retinopathy, circulatory problems, reduced immunity, high blood pressure, kidney failure and diminished libido.
Stick to the potato, sweet pee …and just say”no” to the “cheese”
Actually those are all possible affects of diabetes, however they are not guaranteed. You just gotta control your blood sugar which can spin out on you whether you’re eating wendys or your girlfriends clit.
Freeman is just an asshole who can google diabetes.
GG leave the diabetes knowledge to the diabetics.
I think this might just be some jokesters (those high-faluten college kids and their MTV). I don’t think wendys would sell 5 jr frostys for $1…. and if so… they need to bring this deal back…
Its like a milkshake thats too thick to drink with a straw, too thin to eat with a spoon, and so delicious as to even allow someone to choke down Wendy’s fries.
We at Talons of Peace don’t believe in ordering from the “doller” menu. It is common and vulgar, and we are above it. It’s all about the Biggie Sized Combos.
you know, isn’t it interesting that half of the letters in the top row are out of alignment with the rest of the sign, whereas all of the letters in the rest of the sign are perfect?
even though what i said makes it suspicious? i mean, if they were going to botch the job of arranging/rearranging the letters, they would have done it to the whole sign.
I would say that this isn’t a diabetes fail, as I am diabetic. I have type 1 diabetes and we’re allowed to eat what ever we want as long as we take insulin for it. This fail would apply to type two diabetes, as they have to watch what they eat and how much they exercise. Their type of diabetes is cureable, mine is not.
Doesn’t that annoy the ever-loving CRAP out of you when people mix the two types up? People are always telling me, “Should you be eating that?” and I’m like, “About as much as you should, I guess.”
You’d beat it alright. Beat it into a bloody pulp. Are they going to provide complimentary insulin as well? You’d need about 100 units after 5 Frosties Junior.
This is not fake, it’s real. This promotion/ fundraiser was here in the south a few months back where we could all use more diabeetus. You just never see it down here with our healthy diets and all that exercise…its a shame we still have to fight it so hard with more frostys. Maybe if we all consume mass quantities of frostys…one day we will have the cure. :hopes and slurps another one down:
don’t you know what happens when you run out of vanilla ice cream? you strike your wife. then you find out your wife has been dead for 6 years. who the hell did you hit?!
Hah, I saw this one and know where it comes from. I worked for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) And Wendy’s was a national sponsor, what they did was sold these little shoes as donations for the annual walk to cure diabetes and if you bought 1 shoe for a dollar, you got a coupon book for 5 free small frosties.
I don’t think this is as big as a fail as everyone thinks. When my dad was diagnosed with diabetes the doctor told him that instead of other sweets that he should eat frosties. He said that the original flavor (I don’t know about the vanilla) is pretty much just frozen yogurt. As for the promotion they are probably donating money to research.
Diabetes: Quick! Catch it before someone else does!
Diabetics are such sweet people.
It’s like fighting fire with fire! … but more fail with fail >>
It’s called “back burning”.
lol
OLD -> Failblog reuse!
FAILBLOG == FAIL!
just STFU
This Wendy’s is close to our house. This promotion is over now. They haven’t had any remotely funny promotions lately.
So, where is it, exactly? I’m interested mainly because I wwork for Wendy’s as well, and want to warn my co-workers…
Really? They need to be warned not to say that? Wow.
come on people. i have seen ONE fail reused. and that’s all. so please stop claiming every fail has been used before.
i haven’t seen any. and i looked throught the whole archive.
*through
Nor have I.
I’ve seen one; the bomb on the forklift. (Drop the bomb, 1/30/08 and Almost Epic Fail, 6/2/08)
Like the back burner from TF2?
need a teleporter here
and tasty!!!!
That’s what all the vampires say.
I see what you did there.
Diabeetus People are in ur Wendy’s, adjusting prices and steelinz frosty.
that’s too long to be funny
Grammar fail…. “steelinz”.
maybe its psychology and fail mixed together to make failogy
… or psychofail
no, that’s your mom.
Lame comment, very clever name.
your mom!! lol
I don’t even get what they are on about… how can one possibly beat diabetes by eating FastFood?!
They were probably two different promotions that got a little bit too close for an unfortunately funny effect… “Beat Diabetes,” as in some of their profits go to help people with diabetes and “Get 5 Jr. Frostys for $1″ as exactly what it says.
but why?
It’s called an accident, like you.
Now now, he was more of a surprise.
Or an “unforeseen blessing” if you will.
I won’t
i see what you did there
i hope you did, else you’re not very bright.
Let’s not go around accusing people of being accidents, someones liable to get wounded
Hey, accidents happen! It’s nothing to be ashamed of!
You’re right, I’m not gonna be ashamed of myself anymore.
haha yOU’RE were an ACCIDENT!
In soviet Russia, accident has you!
Not as much of an accident as that sentence.
Burn of the week WIN!
does double verbafying negate the correct apostrophe usage?
no, it just makes the situation too tense
Ouch… do you need some ice for that BURN???
dude, it was a joke
I think it’s one of those deals where you buy their product and they donate your money to research for whatever illness.
It’s probably more like: Buy our product and you become the research.
lol gewd one
more like the managers at wendy’s have no clue what diabetes is, let alone that that milkshakes are bad for anybody with this disease.
There was a similar scheme in the UK with Cadbury’s, a chocolate manufacturer, donating money to schools to pay for sports equipment. Turned out that in order to pay for anything decent, the kids would have needed to eat the equivalent of a chocolate horse or something…
Mmmmmm… Chocolate horse….
NOM NOM NOM
Not a butterfly?
LOL! Previous-post reference WIN!
hahaha took me a second to remember the “horse” one
no… a moth
Its not fast food, its diabetes!
Sugar level failed! Buy insulin enhanced frostys!
SPELLING FAIL: “frosties”
its psychology and fail which makes failogy
Liberty Medical will deliver your DIABEETUS testin supplies right to your door.
“DIABEETUS”
::snort::
Hey, you, Insanus. Out of the gene pool. Now.
gene?
:masturbates:
Thanks Mr. Brimley…I loved you in The Firm.
…and I can’t look at a bowl of oatmeal without thinking of his bushy face.
And how about “Hard Target”, eh??
“And the Failie Award for the worst fake Québécois accent goes to….”
This could be an epic win if you are trying to cure diabetes by killing all the people with it.
yea but everyone knows that nobody eats at wendys any more
Actually, my diabetic brother does.
With those prices he can’t afford NOT to!
He’s right, those prices are to DIE FOR!
…oh….
NO.
Being funny fail.
Insensitive win!
Or diabeetus for.
seeing as that’s not a verb… NO.
Yes it is. I see fat kids like you get diabeetused up on the playground all the time.
After you get picked last.
having problems with your memory? I, for one, can say that i am neither fat no diabetic and therefore know that diabeetus is neither a verb nor even a word.
Then why the hell are you always getting diabeetused up, fat kid?
wow, this is turning out just like that FreshPrinceBelAir guy…
Vagabond? I need you to troll this kid out of here.
ask for the spray that talon has!!
it came in very useful last time
Not exactly like that one. In that showdown, it was BelAir getting burned. In this one it’s aaaaanon and his butt-buddy b.p. getting owned. See the difference? Oh, and butt-buddy b.p. : it wasn’t a spray, it was a tube of lubricant jelly. Unfortunately you two have used it all up on each other…. Sodomy WIN!
Also: you must be fat and/or diabetic, because otherwise you wouldn’t keep trying to insult me.
he’s just narrow minded.
Kind of the internet version of ” I know you are but what am I”. Very clever. Just like the fat kids on the playground always said. Oh…
im diabetic and i eat there also, and i quite enjoy the frostys granted if i give a corrective shot of insulin.
I eat there, and I’m diabetic!
(I know I always say that I am involved with whatever the fail picture is, but this time I actually AM diabetic.)
Well then …
Enjoy your frosty, your diabetegenic corn syrup, your neurotoxic monosodium glutamate, your fat, and your pending amputation.
Dave Thomas died of congestive heart failure, which is, incidentally, another spinoff condition of diabetes, along with diabetic retinopathy, circulatory problems, reduced immunity, high blood pressure, kidney failure and diminished libido.

Thanks for the panic attack, Doc.
Don’t be so patronising.
I don’t think you understand diabetes.
Actually those are all possible affects of diabetes, however they are not guaranteed. You just gotta control your blood sugar which can spin out on you whether you’re eating wendys or your girlfriends clit.
Freeman is just an asshole who can google diabetes.
GG leave the diabetes knowledge to the diabetics.
In Holland we say: ‘Stop poverty, kill the beggar.’ Same principle.
>>
<<
Bad place to be homeless, eh?
Not really… after all, they have stroopwafels! MMMMMMM
when i was in highschool someone wrote on a wall:
Stop hunger and poverty,
Eat the poor!
A Swift solution…so much for the school of hard Knox.
that sentiment lives on through bumper stickers.. I actually saw that one yesterday
sweeeeeeeeet-ah!
duuuuuuuuuuuudeeee-ah!!!
that’s very “A Modest Proposal.”
pretty Swift
Clever.
Cannibalism WIN.
And nuke the whales.
from orbit.
Nice one! Then beat them with baby seals!
In hollanad you guys pull them homeless off the streets and give em clean needles and free Broojes. I’ve seen it.
Yes. But needles filled with a special poison. TO KILL THEM ALLL!!!~~ONE
And Wilfred Brimley will personally deliver your DIABEETUS supplies after snorting up those 5 Junior Frostys for $1
I think this might just be some jokesters (those high-faluten college kids and their MTV). I don’t think wendys would sell 5 jr frostys for $1…. and if so… they need to bring this deal back…
I was always under the impression that Jr Frostys cured cancer.
No, that’s the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger. Boy am I glad you’re not my fast-food specialist doctor…
I’m not your boy, buddy.
I’m not your buddy, friend.
I’m not your friend, pal.
I’m not your pal, acquaintance.
He’s not your bud-day, guy!
What exactly does Canada want?
Canada doesn’t want anything. Canadia wants to take over the lolz.
Canada is frosty. Sometimes.
Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer…but he never cries.
Beat diabeetus, eat Wilford Brimley.
Or go rent Cocoon.
THE MAN WAS A GENIUS!
Sorry, just got back from Wendy’s and my blood sugar is out of whack ::coma::
Walrusman-Are-GO!
Diabettus Walrus has a bukkit of frostee fail.
trukkloads
bukkake
I am the walrus
goo-goo-gjoob
Lyrics FAIL!!
it’s Coo Coo Ka Choo
No, it’s actually: “b.p. likes it up the ass”.
Hypocrisy fail?
27th
Your life is now complete.
I recommend killing yourself while I grab a frosty.
Now, with less diabeetus!
the same danceable beet, without the sugar
But…but…beets without sugar would just be red-dyed shoe leather.
*pleh!*
for dancin’ shoes
Are you kidding?! 5 Jr. Frostys for $1?! WIN!
Geographical FAIL = next door to the Fitness Center
Spare Tire – WIN!
Making absolutely no sense win. Tard.
Naddafinga!
Wendy’s manager with great sense of humor win
I would say a recently fired manager with a great sense of revenge on his/her mind.
What’s a Frosty? (Apart from some sort of miracle medicine breakthrough.)
Its like a milkshake thats too thick to drink with a straw, too thin to eat with a spoon, and so delicious as to even allow someone to choke down Wendy’s fries.
I’ve tried every miracle medicine, and Wendy’s Frosty’s are giant cups of delicious fail.
Giant eh? I see you’ve never ordered from the ‘value’ menu Mr. Warbucks.
We at Talons of Peace don’t believe in ordering from the “doller” menu. It is common and vulgar, and we are above it. It’s all about the Biggie Sized Combos.
you know, isn’t it interesting that half of the letters in the top row are out of alignment with the rest of the sign, whereas all of the letters in the rest of the sign are perfect?
not really.
The next person to say or suggest that this is photo-shopped will get a donkey rammed up their butt.
An…ass up the ass??
Ow.
Exactly. >: D
even though what i said makes it suspicious? i mean, if they were going to botch the job of arranging/rearranging the letters, they would have done it to the whole sign.
also: Scary Threats. You’re Doing It Wrong.
I don’t get it. Frosty’s don’t give you diabetes.
There is no funny here.
Enough of them could.
Your grammar error inspires a chuckle, though… or the pulling out of hair. One of the two. Possibly both.
Frosty’s what? Carrot nose? Probably not… Vegetables are good for diabetics. (And everyone.)
I would say that this isn’t a diabetes fail, as I am diabetic. I have type 1 diabetes and we’re allowed to eat what ever we want as long as we take insulin for it. This fail would apply to type two diabetes, as they have to watch what they eat and how much they exercise. Their type of diabetes is cureable, mine is not.
Doesn’t that annoy the ever-loving CRAP out of you when people mix the two types up? People are always telling me, “Should you be eating that?” and I’m like, “About as much as you should, I guess.”
Yes, it’s exactly like you say. I was there when it happened.
Type II diabetes is not even close to curable. It’s controllable, that’s different.
Plus, type II diabetics have 5 years knocked off their life expectancy. Type I diabetics have 20 years.
Sucks to be us :/
You’d beat it alright. Beat it into a bloody pulp. Are they going to provide complimentary insulin as well? You’d need about 100 units after 5 Frosties Junior.
100 units? Someone wants to wipe out the diabetic race!
attempt to sound smart fail.
This is not fake, it’s real. This promotion/ fundraiser was here in the south a few months back where we could all use more diabeetus. You just never see it down here with our healthy diets and all that exercise…its a shame we still have to fight it so hard with more frostys. Maybe if we all consume mass quantities of frostys…one day we will have the cure. :hopes and slurps another one down:
Oh gee, a Wendy’s fail. Never seen one of those before.
Wendy’s–Open late so when you leave the emergency room, you can pick up a snack.
Holy crap. I feel like an idiot. I just realized the Doctor Who reference in your name!
Sweet.
*congratulates*
My husband has a little car and he says it’s the reTARDIS–it’s smaller on the inside than it looks on the outside.
caring for the general public WIN
Now THAT is what I call a deal!
5 is not even enough.
don’t you know what happens when you run out of vanilla ice cream? you strike your wife. then you find out your wife has been dead for 6 years. who the hell did you hit?!
Man that is some Ripley’s Believe it or Not type of shit.
Family Guy reference WIN!
My diabetic husband & I quote that to each other often. We also recently had Wilford Brimley as our desktop.
You know, the Wendy’s in my town said the EXACT same thing. Advertising fail.
Major Fail. I could eat 5 Jr Frosties and still be fine, thanks to a little thing called an insulin pump.
Hah, I saw this one and know where it comes from. I worked for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) And Wendy’s was a national sponsor, what they did was sold these little shoes as donations for the annual walk to cure diabetes and if you bought 1 shoe for a dollar, you got a coupon book for 5 free small frosties.

He said that the original flavor (I don’t know about the vanilla) is pretty much just frozen yogurt. As for the promotion they are probably donating money to research.
So just a question: Does anyone know if they will selling discounted hamburgers for heart health?
OooOooo damn 5 frostys for a 1 me want my 10$ worth
l2spell it’s diabeetus.
