I’m fond of Dairy Queen Blizzards. My favorite is the M&M Blizzard made with chocolate ice cream. That is pretty much all I get. So for my birthday, I decided to go get one. Since the one here in Stafford shut down unexpectedly, I had to find another one.
I did, and went in and asked for “The biggest Blizzard possible.” Then the whole experience took on the characteristics of buying illegal fireworks. The guy kind of looked at me, raised his eyebrows a little and looked around and grabbed a 32 ounce cup. “I guess I could put one in here”, he said. It wasn’t one the menu–cause how many people want 32 ounces of ice cream.
I asked him how much it would be, and he kind of thought about it and said, “$5.99″ and almost put a question mark behind it–I’m not sure if he just couldn’t remember the price or if he was just making this all up and pulling a price out of thin air.
It took him several trips to the mixer and M&M dish before he was satisfied, but it was an awesome Blizzard. I ate it all in about an hour, for a rate of about 40 calories per minute.
