Cool off this summer with a tasty Cherry Green Apple Freeze from Krystal!

Yesterday marked the first official day of summer and with it some HOT, HOT weather. So, we thought it might be a good time to get creative with a few ways to keep cool throughout these scorching months – with a little help from Krystal of course. Check out our Top Five favorite Krystal beverages for summer…

Krystal Freeze - Chill out with one of Krystal’s eight signature icy-cold Krystal Freeze beverages and don’t forget to try the newest flavor Cherry Green Apple. Just watch out for that brain freeze!!

Krystal Blitz - We know how the summer heat can take a lot out of you but with the Krystal Blitz, you can cool off and get an energy boost with this treat offered in a thirst-quenching Lemon-Berry flavor frozen or on the rocks.

MilkQuake - This tasty treat will rock your taste-buds with one of its three classic flavors; Chocolate, Strawberry, or Vanilla. Top it off with some whipped cream and you’ve got yourself the perfect dessert that’s sure to keep your mind off the weather outside.

Iced Tea - What tastes more like summer in the South than Iced Tea? We suggest you grab a large cold one, sweet or unsweet, and kick it old school on the porch with friends, just like grandma and grandpa used to do!

Coca Cola Soft Drink - Nothing goes better with a Krystal Burger and quenches thirst like an ice-cold Coke! And if you want a soda but not the Coca-Cola Original try Diet Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Diet Dr. Pepper, Fanta Orange or Strawberry, or Barq’s Famous Root Beer.

And, if all else fails, you could always grab a large ice water with your Value Meal and just pour it over your head! That should do the trick.

Simple, Sweet, Refreshing Iced Tea From Krystal. Need we say more?

This is why we love our great nation – there’s an official day or month dedicated to almost every different American food favorite. Just as National Hamburger Month ends, National Iced Tea Day begins to help kick off the summer months. And lets be honest, what is more refreshing than a big glass of cold iced tea on a hot summer day (well, besides a Krystal Freeze!)?

Each year, June 10th is the official day to celebrate this wonderful beverage called Iced Tea. Although we must admit that down in the South, we show our love for this sweet, cool beverage every day. But still, what better way to celebrate this holiday and participate in such a great Southern Tradition than to stop in at Southern fast food icon, Krystal, for your choice of a small, medium or large sweet or unsweet iced tea?

That’s right – you can’t think of a better way! So head over to your local Krystal today and don’t forget to pair it with your favorite value meal.

Cool off this weekend with a tasty Cherry Green Apple Freeze from Krystal!

If we’ve told you once, we’ve told you a million times, “We love Krystal!” And why do we love Krystal so much – variety, nothin’ like it menu items, great tasting food – we could go on forever. But why do that when we can show you first hand what we’re talking about… Introducing the new Cherry Green Apple Freeze Flavor.

Just one of Krystal’s many innovative beverage items, the Cherry Green Apple Freeze is the perfect blend of sour and sweet that tastes like it came from the actual fruit of an apple and a cherry. And, you don’t have to worry about an artificial-like flavor because just like all of the Krystal Freeze flavors, it’s made with premium Monin syrups containing real, pure cane sugar.

But beware. The new flavor tastes pretty darn good and we don’t want you suffering from sphenopalatineganglioneuraliga – or otherwise known as “brain freeze.” However, if you just can’t help yourself from slurping it down too quickly, here are a list of tips on how to relieve this condition.

Get chosen to participate in the Krystal Frozen T-shirt contest to win this six pack shirt design!

Calling all Chattanoogans, Krystal Lovers and Lookouts Fans! We’re excited to help spread the word that the Chattanooga Lookouts Minor League Baseball Team’s opening game is only days away at home on April 8 against the Huntsville Stars. That’s right – not only does the spring season bring overflowing Krystal Freezes and MilkQuakes but also a little outdoor entertainment for folks living in the heart of Krystal country.

And to make things even more exciting, Krystal will be sponsoring a Krystal Frozen T-shirt contest at every Chattanooga Lookouts home game during the 2010 season. The game starts with three people chosen at random who are given a frozen T-shirt packed together tightly. The first person to get the T-shirt open and put it on wins a $10 Krystal gift card. And don’t worry, the runner-ups will get a little something as well.

But of course, you have to attend the games to get in on the action, so be sure to come out and support your local baseball team and have a little fun in the process. And, because we love our Krystal Fans, here’s a little winner’s tip for the Frozen T-shirt contest if you get chosen: hit the shirt against the ground to break the ice and soften it up so that it opens more easily. Trust us – it works.

At Krystalist, our favorite flavor is the classic Cherry Krystal Freeze!

If there is one thing we like about Krystal, it’s the “nothin’ like it” variety that the fast food eatery serves up. With everything from Burgers to Chiks to Pups to all the innovative beverage choices including MilkQuakes and the Krystal Blitz, there is a little something for everyone. And, we can’t leave out one of our favorite treats and its many flavor options – The Krystal Freeze.

Known for its crisp, clean and refreshing taste, The Krystal Freeze features only the best ingredients including premium Monin syrups containing real, pure cane sugar. But the big question remains, which flavor choice is the favorite among Krystal Lovers? Of course, that’s a matter of opinion, but we’d love to know what you think.

So join us in the quest and vote in the poll below for your Krystal Freeze Flavor of choice!

Spring has arrived! Celebrate with one of Krystal's signature Freeze flavors.

Ah spring – the transition between winter and summer, the period with 12-hour long days, the time when flowers bloom and birds chirp. And of course, the time when Krystal Lovers flock to restaurants to enjoy an icy-cold Krystal Freeze or MilkQuake while basking in the sunlight. Oh yes, it’s safe to say that we’re glad March 20 is only one day away. Hence our advance, “Hello to the first official day of spring!”

So what will we be doing tomorrow on a fabulous Saturday afternoon this spring? Grabbing a classic Coca-Cola flavored Krystal Freeze, 2 Krystal Chiks, fries and an order of Sweet Bites to enjoy at the park. That’s right – a Krystal picnic. And you should follow suit!

Pick up any one of Krystal’s other Freeze flavors including: Orange, Cherry, Sour Green Apple, Grape, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Banana or Strawberry. If you prefer something on the sweeter side, you can also try Krystal’s signature MilkQuake flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry.

But honestly, the most important thing isn’t which Krystal meal you choose to enjoy, but that you make the most out of your first day of spring in 2010. And if Krystal can add to your special day, then we’re happy! So, enjoy all that the new season has to offer. We definitely will be!

Enjoy a Sour Green Apple Krystal Freeze today for St. Paddy's Day!

Today might not be the official first day of Spring (only three days left!), but it is St. Patrick’s Day and we’re planning to celebrate this holiday at Krystal whether rain or shine. And we want you to join us!

We won’t be eating any traditional Irish fare this year, but we will be embracing all that’s green with Krystal’s signature Sour Green Apple Freeze beverage. Made with premium ingredients including Monin syrups and real, pure cane sugar, the Krystal Freeze is the perfect St. Paddy’s Day treat that can be enjoyed anytime of day.

And although holding a green beverage might qualify for some as part of a “green ensemble,” we suggest you still wear something green or don a little green flare as well. We don’t want any Krystal Lovers to fall prey of the infamous St. Patrick’s Day pinch!

It’s the start of Labor Day Weekend, or as some see it – the end of summer, the beginning of fall, the start of football season, the middle of Krystal Square Off Season and it’s real purpose – a weekend of rest. Oh, and don’t forget Krystal!

It might just become the new weekend family tradition. Helpful Hint: The friendly employees at Krystal will serve your meal at the table, so order up because you won’t have to lift a finger!

Enjoy your weekend and safe travels to all!
