Since it began on May 21 the Wendy's Wii giveaway has distributed over 400 of the 800 available systems. Wiis aren't the only thing they're giving away, they also have gone through half of their 800 Wii Point cards and games. The Wii Point cards are the 2000 point version and the games available are Mario Party 8, Super Paper Mario and Big Brain Academy. The whole thing hinges on the purchase of a Frosty Float from Wendys, which has a code on the cup you put in at FrostyFloat.com. Of course, per usual, no purchase is actually necessary, but it does expedite the process. The giveaway ends July 31. There's some interactive features at FrostyFloat.com too where you can design your own shakes, sadly they haven't figured out yet how to pay for it and just grab it out of your screen.We got some statistics from Wendy's about the contest. So far there have been 1,283,191 "gameplays" by 302,547 people. Now, let's see, at 400 calories a shake, that means if every one of the 1.2 million plays were from people who bought shakes, the desire to Wii has injected 480,000,000 extra calories into American society. Those 302,547 people could really use that Wii right about now with some Wii DDR and a few hardcore rounds of Wii Sports to work that off -- they could always follow the WiiHealthy.com guide as well. Curse you tasty fast food with giveaways!
