Hey fans! I thought we’d have a friendly showdown this week between two classics. Of course, it’s impossible to choose to just one, but, let’s just say you had to… Cookie Dough Blizzard Treat or OREO® Blizzard Treat? It’s cookie vs. cookie. Who will emerge the victor?

It was summer. I was gardening. It was hot. I took a sip of soda and felt something sharp on my lip. Thinking I had cut myself on the soda can somehow, I quickly pulled it away to discover I still felt the sting… of a bee… attached to my lower lip. I shooed it off and in a matter of minutes my kisser grew twice its size. My appearance didn’t dissuade me from heading to the mall, however, in order to nurse my wound with an OREO Blizzard® Treat. And I survived. Oh yeah, did I mention that I also managed to fall off a roof that day as well? Survived that too. Landed on my feet. NBD. But maybe you can top it. What’s your freaky Friday story?

Winter builds character––at least that’s what I’ve heard. This winter, however, has been unseasonably mild in my neck of the woods (just a figure of speech—I don’t, um, actually live in the woods). So naturally, I’m a little torn. On the one hand, I’m missing out on the opportunity to somehow become a better person by shoveling snow and scraping ice, but on the other, my commute to the local DQ Grill & Chill® has been that much shorter. Come to think of it, there’s plenty of shoveling and scraping involved when I’m finishing off a Blizzard® Treat. Okay, I’m sold. Best of both worlds it is!

I have become the official DQ® Cake purchaser for family members’ birthdays. Recently I was asked to bring one to a party where we were celebrating the birthdays of one of my sisters and my two nephews. My goal was to get a DQ Blizzard® Cake that would appeal to all 14 party goers and not be decorated either too feminine or too masculine. I called my local DQ restaurant for assistance. It didn’t take more than a minute to decide on a 10-inch Heath Bar® Blizzard Cake with “Happy Birthday” and all three names on it. It was as simple as can be.
When I stopped by the restaurant a few days later to pick up the cake, it looked perfect. I arrived at the birthday party and was soon considered to be the hero of the day, just for bringing a DQ Blizzard Cake. People could not stop talking about it. The process to choose and purchase the cake was so easy, but the way everyone at the party raved about it, you would have thought I spent hours making and decorating the cake myself.
Next time you need to bring a dessert to an occasion, consider a DQ Cake. Everyone will thank you for the special treat!

It’s the third day of a new year and things are already looking up. I’m seeing things I’ve never seen before. Like, you ever notice how much a strawberry looks like a heart? Must be that they’re grown to be loved. And what better way to demonstrate that love than by blending them together with real chunks of rich cheesecake and creamy vanilla soft serve: the Strawberry CheeseQuake® Blizzard Treat! Nostalgia is a thing of the past. I’m completely prepared to live in the moment… all 31 days of it.

So the last Thursday of every month we are going to deem “Throwback Thursday”. Maybe we’ll share an old product, perhaps nostalgic merchandise or vintage photos, anything in our archives or from our fans is fair game. This week I’m paying respect to the Mr. Misty®. As a child of the 80′s and 90′s, I spent many summer nights sipping a grape flavored Mr. Misty… usually adding vanilla soft-serve and making a Mr. Misty float (the BEST!). I came across this old product poster and it sent me right back to my younger days. Does this look familiar to anyone else?!?

If you’re like me, you’re still trying to figure out how to spend all those DQ® gift cards you received from your friends, family and postal workers over the weekend (surely, you exchange gifts with your postal worker). Might I suggest the following Blizzard Treat tasting schedule?
MONDAY: something with coffee
TUESDAY: something fruity
WEDNESDAY: something nutty
THURSDAY: something with cookies
FRIDAY: something chocolaty
SATURDAY: something with a candy bar
SUNDAY: ask an employee to surprise you
Happy New Year, everybody!
May your 2012 have you doing cartwheels!

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the hills we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
Oh what fun it is to ride
And guess the Blizzard Treat!

Hey fans, it’s a busy time of year. Thought I’d treat you to a little holiday advice over the next few weeks. That way, you can just relax by the fire with your laptop, browsing Blizzard® Treat flavors on DQ.com (Why? How do you spend the holidays?). See, here’s tip #1: start your New Year’s resolution early, like… tomorrow. That way, you’ve got a grace period of about a month, so you don’t really have to feel bad ‘cause it’s not even 2012. Then you can greet the New Year with an “OK, for realsies now.” Or just a “Meh,” if you come to find that drinking your Blizzard Treats through a straw is harder than it looks and maybe you’ll just stick to your faithful red spoon after all.
What are your New Year’s resolutions?
