Blizzard vs. Blizzard

This blizzard is going to kill every human being it touches.   What with its freezing-wind-whipping and snow-flake-fallery, children will be banned from school, adults banned from work and if one even thinks about stepping outside – death will be waiting.

That’s the message I received from highly-ranked news sources.  Fear, fear and more fear.

But I refuse to live in fear and will give the weather a royal butt-kicking.  Whatever do you mean?  I mean I’m ready to take on this blizzard, Dairy Queen style.

For those of you who aren’t lucky enough to know already, I am a former employee of Dairy Queen.

Go ahead, salivate.

Our serving – soft.  Our cone – curly.    Our blizzards – thick enough to stand upside down.  That’s just how we do at DQ.  Never apologizing for the softness of our serves and always leaving people with a smile.  Especially when it came to our number #1 sellers – the Blizzard, we were fast, efficient and blended with an awesomeness that would bring most non-believers to their knees.  “Could this creamy/candy/blended delight be real?”  It is.  It’s as real as the the grim reaper’s frost-bitten-phalanges.

My favorite Blizzard of all time was this (created by yours truly):

- Fill the bottom half of a medium cup with twist ice cream

- Add 2 scoops of cookie dough (it has to be fresh, not the bottom of the box crumbles)

- Add 1 scoop of Oreo cookie

- Fill the rest of the cup with vanilla ice cream

- Blend to perfection

I can taste it now.  It’s so good that I would even brave the real blizzard for a real tasty Blizzard as my mid-afternoon snack.  Who’s with me?

Since most of us are either shut-in alone with our internets or avoiding the stir-crazy kids with whom we are shut-in, use this time to think fondly of Blizzards.

What is your favorite Blizzard?

Would you travel through the real blizzard for a real tasty Blizzard?

Tell me.  I’m looking out my window wishing snowflakes were ice cream.  Hurry.  I need a distraction before I start licking the window.

Theriouthly.

    My favorite blizzard was vanilla ice cream with Oreos and bananas. The banana has to be past the turn, no green! I would definitely make the trip through this or any of the other natural disasters DQ presents us with, misty, mudslide, earthquake…

    Yes! I believe I learned about that dynamite combination from you. Banana/Oreo Blizzards fall into the top 4 Blizzards of all time. Any Oreo combo Blizzard will be amazing, like peanut butter, cherry, strawberry, mint, banana – all good with Oreo. It’s not even lunchtime and I want one.

    Mine would have to be the Butterfinger Blizzard, even though it sticks to your teeth for a week after. Hey, as a former employee, can you yell at Dairy Queen for closing its Damen Avenue location and leaving an outdated sign that explains why? I want to be able to stroll on over to get some ice cream once the spring comes—which will be in full force before my street gets legitimately plowed.

    You’re right, Pryfria! The butterfinger does stick to your teeth for days. I’m glad you said something about the Damen DQ. I had a craving for a blizzard and drove all the way over there (in the summer, mind you) to find that it was closed! What the what? Why? It’s just bad business. And when you mess with a woman and her DQ cravings, you have just thrown the earth off its axis a bit.
