Hey fans,

Unless you accidently joined the wrong fan club, I can assume that all of you are crazy about Blizzard treats (some of us more than others…cough-cough…umm…me). The Blizz has been a part of DQ culture for the past 25 years now and it has to be the best invention ever (sliced bread’s got nothing on the Blizz)! You probably didn’t know this, but in 1985, Americans bought a whopping 100 million Blizzard treats.

So, as we celebrate the Blizzard treat’s 25th Birthday, let’s take a look back on what tasty treat was on the DQ menu before the magnificent Blizz came along.

I dug through the HQ archives the other day (don’t tell anyone though, I’m kind of, not really allowed near there anymore) and I found a picture of this weird sundae called the Gooney Bird. All I have to say is, thank gosh for the inventor of the Blizz!
