Cotton Candy was the best! please bring it back!!! i have been eating dq since very young, and have worked at a great DQ for the past 4 years and dearly miss my cotton candy!

As a proud Dairy Queen Fan and employee of about 5 years, I would have to say that I have a short but tasty list of blizzards that should come back.

Tin Roof Brownie, Twix, Kit Kat, Peach, Apple Crunch, and Whoppers

We REALLLLYYYYY need a DQ in Liberty Hill, Tx…Just the kind of small town that is perfect for you!!! And I would be so happy to have you here!!!!

If I remember correctly, the original original Blizzard was a milkshake that was then topped off by filling the rest of the cup up with DQ.

Mocha Chip is my fave, but, ooh, Irish Mint sounds interesting. That would be a good March Blizzard of the Month!

COTTON CANDY – The entire time I was pregnant I craaaaaved it. It would be seriously detrimental to my waistline but wow I would buy at least one a week if it was back. Promise.

If DQ done a rendition of Red Velvet Cheesequake blizzard it was be amazing! Because the cheesecake used in DQ’s blizzards opposed to other fast food places is great!

Girl scout tagalong is phenomenal. I only fond it that 1 year and have been looking for it agaian ever since.

Please Bring back the cotton Candy, It is by Far~ the best Blizzard in The entire world~ I miss having it Please you really need to bring it back, Please!

Hi Madison, This was a limited time offering, and has been brought back in the past. I don’t know of any plans for its return any time in the near future, however I do know that our product development team is aware there are passionate Cotton Candy Blizzard Fans like you waiting for its return!

I love the cotton candy blizzard too….it must become a permanent member of the blizzard family!!!!!

I loved the NERDS Blizzard growing up and really miss it these days. I definitely still crave it. We make it at home now because we can’t find it at any of the DQ locations near us anymore. :-(

COTTON CANDY!!!! was the best blizzard ever I think they should make it a permanent flavor… Do you know if there’s any chance of it coming back as a flavor of the month? I really loved it, it was the BEST EVER.

Hi Camilla. I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, but the Cotton Candy Blizzard is not scheduled to return in 2011. Unfortunately, it didn’t sell well the last time it was offered. I do know that our product development team is aware there are passionate Cotton Candy Blizzard Fans like you waiting for its return.

I’m so sorry Jennifer, the Cotton Candy Blizzard is not scheduled to return in 2011. Unfortunately , it didn’t sell well the last time it was offered. I do know that our product development team is aware there are passionate Cotton Candy Blizzard Fans like you waiting for its return.

Had I known there was cotton candy I would’ve ordered so much more! Returned for more only to hear the disappointing news:( Bring it back, advertise it, please!

Hello My name is Jolene and I am 23 yrs old, I have been going to DQ all my life and a few yrs ago while on vacation I had the pleasure of buying and eating one of the most wonderful blizzards I have ever eatin. The cotton candy blizzard, I would go 2 to 3 times a week just to get one well about 1 1/2 ago I went to buy one and was told they were no longer available. So very sad and disappointing, I have read your posts about not having any plans on bringing it back but I think you should give it another try bring it back and see how well it sells and if not than well it doesnt but since you are not bringing it back can you at least tell me how to make my own? where to buy the syrup and cotton candy candies?

Hello Jolene,
I’m so sorry, I completely understand your frustration. There have been a few products I was very fond of that have been discontinued. I do know that our product development team is aware there are passionate Cotton Candy Blizzard Fans like you waiting for its return. I wish I had an answer for you, but unfortunately the ingredients used to make the Cotton Candy Blizzard were made specifically for Dairy Queen and can’t be purchased anywhere.

Cotton candy neeeeds to come back! It was literally the best thing I ever tasted! It was a nightly ritual for my husband and I! We haven’t been back to DQ since it left! :(

Cotton Candy Blizzard all the way!!! That was the best ever!!! Nothing else will ever compare to it!!! I don’t go to DQ often anymore because it’s not there anymore. That was our Friday thing for my hubby and I. Please bring it back!!!!

bring back cotton candy it was the best thing ever even if it didnt sell well bring in back in july or aug just for a while !!!

Cotton Candy by far is the best they stuck out unlike oreo and butterfinger and stuff like those where you can get a very similar taste at any fast food resturant/drive thru but no other place has come anywhere close to cotton candy i havent been back to a DQ since it was discontinued

Yall HAVE to bring back the cotton candy blizzard even if its just for a limited time that was the best blizzard in the world i havent been back to dairy queen sense yall stopped carrying those i miss them so much :-(

bring the COTTON CANDY BLIZZARD back! im shur that Some flavours like midnight truffle or rasberry truffle are never choose or even never tried! so remove these flavours to put the cotton candy back!!!!!!!!!!!

The cotton candy blizzard is by far the best thing ever invented in the ice cream world, so please bring it back and put it on the main menu for us to have year round! LONG LIVE COTTON CANDY!!!!!!!!

Cotton candy!! It must return! I check for it every month and it’s hasn’t returned! It really should be available all year long.. And every year! Please bring it back!

Please bring back the Caramel Apple Pop Blizzard! My husband and I are dying for one! It was the best!

Honestly, so many people loved the Cotton Candy Blizzard and are practically BEGGING for it’s return, including myself. I understand that you have a team that decides on these things but that’s also the same team that upset everyone in Canada with what was arguably the worst Blizzard of the Month ever, plain Oreo. Seems to me like you’ve run out of ideas or just don’t care, well here’s an idea… Cotton Candy Blizzard!

PLEASE BRING BACK COTTON CANDY! It was the best flavor by far sooo many people miss it including myself. BRING BACK THE COTTON CANDY!!!! PLEASE!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back cotton candy! Best blizzard EVER! Got it every time it came out, so sad it still hasn’t come back:( Please make it happen!!!!

Oh my god I am sooo craving cotton candy blizzard right now I will seriously have a meltdown if u don’t BRING IT BBAAACCCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My vote— COTTON CANDY— I went from once a week to maybe once a year. Nothing compares!! Please bring it back soon.

COTTON CANDY!!!! PLEASE!!! It didn’t sell well last time it was featured because it was October and an especially cold one in Canada; even an ice cream enthusiast like myself was discouraged! Feature it in the spring or summer so we can all enjoy them daily!

The ONLY blizzard that I ever liked was the nestle crunch! When it was discontinued I was able to bring in my own candy bars to my local DQ and have them made. That only lasted about a year. Since that I have completely boycotted DQ blizzards until they reintroduce the nestle crunch blizzard!

COTTON CANDY! Add me to the thousands of passionate cotton candy blizzard lovers! I’d be ecstatic if they brought it back….

COTTON CANDY! is the ONLY reason we went to DQ!! Must bring it back!! I know a lot of people that loved the cotton candy blizzard too. They also stopped going when CC was not made anymore!! Your losing MONEY DQ!!

Why are you only releasing the cotton candy blizzard in the USA? Why can’t people in Canada purchase it as well. You now have ingredients so please bring it back to Canada.
