Didn’t Order a Blizzard®

Posted by Lisa Y under A Smile and a Story®,Blizzard,Dairy Queen,In the Community on

I recently heard a really funny story from my husband’s cousin. She made a last-minute decision to go out into the snowy evening with her two small sons to get treats from the local DQ® store. Because it was so snowy and cold, she chose to order their malts at the drive-thru window. She moved on to the pick-up window to await the treats.

As she was sitting with her window open waiting for the employee to finish the malts and hand them out to her, a huge pile of snow slid off the DQ roof right into her car! She was so shocked and surprised that her first thought was that the DQ employee had thrown snow at her.

It wasn’t until she left the drive-thru lane that she thought of the perfect comeback to her shocking situation, “I didn’t order a Blizzard®!” Have you ever had something funny happen to you at a DQ drive-thru window?

Went out on a night that was a horrible monsoon…
Had to buy my own b day cake… glad they didn’t throw water on me!!!!

Really don’t like oreos in a blizzard:(
Wish DQ would bring back the Girl Scout Cookie Blizzard.Now that was THE BEST BLIZZARD FLAVOR EVER!!And perfect for March-my birthday month.

Am very interested in getting a list of ingredients in all Dairy Queen ice creams/meals. I am wondering which items are gluten-free. Please respond…thank you!

This is quite embarrassing . . . my friend and I went through the drive-thru at our local DQ after a basketball game. We sat in our car for about 30 seconds, struggling to decide what to order, and when we did, I announced it loudly into the intercom, “We’ll have one M & M small Blizzard, and one Dilly Bar.” We waited and waited, and we could hear the person inside DQ say in a foggy voice, “Excuse me?” So I raised my voice and said again, “We’ll have one M & M small blizzard, and one Dilly Bar.” Again we waited and waited. Once again we heard this tiny voice say, “Ma’am????” And we rolled our eyes and I repeated my order a third time, quite impatiently and with a great deal of irritation. It was quiet for about ten seconds, and then a much larger male voice said loudly, “Ma’am, you’re speaking into the bird house. Could you please pull ahead 10 feet and repeat your order into the intercom????” We were so embarrassed we drove away . . . and laughed for miles and miles. We are still laughing today about this! (and yes, we are both blonde; however, we feel that the mistake had nothing to do with our hair!!!!)

Yes. Just last weekend, Hubby and I rode thru our local DQ drivethru and ordered 2 quarts of vanilla ice cream to go. When the young man working the window handed us our order, he grinned and asked if we needed 2 spoons as well, or did we plan to wait till we got home. I just love our local DQ.
