I have worked for the same DQ on and off for 30 years and, since I live in a small town, I have a lot of people who know me and are always happy when I say hello and even remember what they like the best!!!
I love DQ. I go there almost every day because its so hot out side.
I have always said the DQ in Eleanor WV makes the BEST hotdogs in WV… I have been going there since I was a little girl. I no longer live near there but still go there if I’m in the area. I’ve ate at a lot of DQs over the years but the Eleanor DQ is still the best in my opinion…
Melissa — I loved your post — it’s just what DQ is all about, isn’t it? How awesome that you’ve been part of the DQ team on and off for the past 30 years! Thanks for sharing. Carolyn
Michael, wonderful little audio blog there.
I love the Dairy Queen in Uniontown Ohio. The people there make it the best(not to mention the wonderful ice cream). I eat ice cream year around and love the different flavors of the blizzards.
I would like a Mango Shake, peppermint pattie, or some pina colada shake
When will you have a reeses pieces blizzard?? That would be the perfect blizzard, if they can get any better:)
I think the Thin Mint Blizzard would have been a WAYYYY better choice!
DQ just rocks.I am a fan of Blizzards, I special like to see peanut butter and chocolate chip. now that would be something or even rum and raisin blizzard would really rock
I was reading my e-mail and it said to vote for 01/1010 blizzared of the month, but where do i do that??
I am your best fan.
A link should be inside of your email if you are unable to get the link to work please contact guestrelations@fishbowl.com
We currently have the Reeses Peant Butter Cups as a Blizzard.
I am new to Blizzards and wondered if one can suggest a flavor! I would love to see an orange chocolate chip!!
We would recommend the Oreo Blizzard Treat or the Girl Scout Thin Mint Blizzard Treat (Only in August!)
Dear Mr. Keller:
My favorite blizzard of ALL time is the Cotton Candy blizzard! I just read on a different blog that it has been discontinued. I want to start an online petition to not only bring it back, but to put it permanently on the menu!
Anyone else agree?
Please Mr. Keller, I hope you will reconsider this decision and put Cotton Candy on the regular menu! Thanks!
YES! I completely agree! Cotton Candy is MY favorite too!
I haven’t even been going to DQ since they don’t have it this summer. Normally, we go at least twice a week!
Please Mr. Keller – help us!
Michelle & Andrea, I love your passion for the Cotton Candy Blizzard! You are right, it has been discontinued at this time — each time it has been offered at Dairy Queen restaurants it has been a limited time offering. That means it’s only available for a short time. At this time there are no immediate plans for its return, however one never knows what will happen in the future.
I would like to recommend a pralines and cream blizzard,
Pralines’n Cream. (Fans have been enjoying Vanilla-flavored ice cream with a caramel ribbon and praline-coated pecan pieces since 1970. …)If it is the biggest seller with B&R, then I am sure DQ can be just as successful with this Blizzard.
Thanks, Kennethdq! We offered a pecan praline parfait several years ago; it was delicious. I cannot tell you why we do not have a Blizzard Flavor like that now, however I can tell you that we have considered it in the past. I will pass along that we have fans interested in this flavor now!
discontinued? cotton candy? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I spent 700.00 stocking up in 2007 when it begin coming out, saw it briefly in 2008 and now nothing? I want a petition, I want to but the ingrediants, I want the only thing that keeps a mom of 6 kids sane!!! HELP!!!
I am sorry, Mindi! The Cotton Candy Blizzard did come back several times, and I do not know of any plans for its returnt. Unfortunately, the ingredients are proprietary and we aren’t at liberty to share them. I will ensure your comments (and passion!) are shared with our product development team.
