Freddy's offers free custard for National Frozen Custard Day

As the summer heat continues to beam down across the country, the quest to find ways to cool down continues. But fear not, as another food holiday has come to save the day, and this one is a cold treat everyone enjoys that is prompting Freddy's to honor the special occasion -- National Frozen Custard Day.

Today, for one day only, the place known for its steakburgers and frozen custard has a special offer. When you purchase any menu item in-store, drive-thru, online, or via the app, you will get a free mini one-topping sundae. And if you're like me, you are already salivating about this one.

The only real dilemma that comes with this offer is how to pick one topping. Freddy's offers 26 toppings, including gummy worms, Oreos, M&Ms, and more. But now, you have to decide on what the superior topping on the sundae is. However, at least the custard only comes in vanilla, chocolate, and when you can't decide on a base -- half and half.

If you're anything like me, you've questioned what makes ice cream different from frozen custard. The answer: frozen custard is made with egg yolks, and ice cream is not. And that means it is richer and higher in fat, which equals a perfect Guilty Eats option.

Now, concerning the offer, there is one thing to note if you go through the app or online. If you use this way to take advantage, enter the promo code CD2024 online at checkout or in the app.

Once again, a holiday you may not have known existed leads to a great deal from a rising fast-casual spot. And for this one, it might be a good idea to splurge a little and add the steakburger and fries.

Will you be heading over to grab a free frozen custard? Do you prefer it over ice cream?
