Wendy’s is serving up a new kind of, um, questionable combo to raise awareness for a cause.
The fast food chain is partnering up with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and will dole out four small Frostys — Wendy’s signature ice cream treat — to anyone who donates $1 to the organization, the global.christianpost.com explains.
As global.christianpost.com points out, while unhealthy eating habits, and sugary foods in particular, are a direct cause of Type 2 Diabetes, they are not linked to Type 1 Diabetes, an autoimmune disorder.
However, as the JDRF promotes on its website, good eating habits — among those exercising “some good self-control” — are important to the health of those with Type 1 Diabetes.
And it’s not the first time the two seemingly contradictory organizations have combined efforts. In 2009, a Wendy’s in Austin, Texas, sold books of coupons good for four free Frostys, and donated all of the resulting proceeds to the JDRF, according to a press release.
