For the next six weeks, the popular Wendy's Frosty is just a buck. The promotion ends on Sunday, Sept. 15, and features the Classic Chocolate Frosty or the new Triple Berry Frosty, a flavor in its "final days," the chain said. 

Visit Wendy's.com for more details on the promotion. 

The promotion comes as thermometers regularly reach temperatures of "please make it stop," making a cold, sweet treat ideal, but it also comes amid a growing push for fast food chains to lower the prices of their items.   

Several restaurant chains that built their business on the promise of cheap food fast were blasted earlier this year after customers said they failed two out of three of those requirements. 

McDonald's brought back a $5 value meal to their menu after a McMuffin went viral after it sold for $7 at a drive-thru. 

Wendy's isn't immune to complaints of high prices. The company earlier this year announced "Surge Pricing," which means the cost of its items could vary depending on the time of day, supplies, or even weather. 

Wendy's later backtracked — spicy chicken sandwiched out — on surge pricing after backlash.
