Wendy’s is giving out free fries and frostys today. How to get yours

Thanks to one NCAA player, we all get to “dunk” today.

The Michigan Wolverines defeated the Connecticut Huskies 69-63 to win their second national NCAA Tournament championship on Monday, and thanks to shooting guard Roddy Gale Jr., we all have the opportunity to eat for free at Wendy’s today.

“WE HAVE A DUNK 🚨,” Wendy’s posted on X April 6. “that means all of America gets free small fry and Frosty on April 7th. Not to be dramatic, but that was the greatest moment in dunk history.”

On April 7, Wendy’s is fulfilling its promise to offer “Free Dunks for America” once the play was made during the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship Game.

Customers across the country can ask for one free small fry, paired with a small chocolate or vanilla Frosty, to dunk to their heart’s content, at participating Wendy’s restaurants. The offer is available in-restaurant only on April 7 at U.S. Wendy’s locations.

And no, you don’t have to buy anything else.

The Wolverines’ championship is the college’s first win since 1989. In its four previous title game appearances, Michigan was the runner-up, losing in 1992, 1993, 2013 and 2018. But thanks to MVP Elliott Cadeau and MVD (most valuable dunker) Gale, the team took home the W.

In TBS’ replay of the dunk, which has over a million views, one of the announcers says, “Gale devours it,” and you can, too — for one day only.
