Is a Dairy Queen Blizzard a milkshake? • Page 2

i'm from California and we do in fact have Dairy Queen's here, haha

 

Glad we're talking about the most pressing issues here, absolutely not a milk shake - not even close.

 

Yea it's definitely a cup of soft serve ice cream with candy chunks in it. Also throwing it out there that their ice cream cakes are not cakes. But they are goddamn delicious.

 

then why do they give you a spoon with them?

but Blizzards are delicious non-milkshakes. my preferred DQ treat is the Freeze, though, blue raspberry.

 

Where is this craziness happening?!

 

most restaurants I've been to usually give you one of these mixing cups with extra shake in it, and it comes with a spoon.

 

More often than not, restaurants don't do this when I order a shake.

 

Not a milkshake.

 

This is like asking "is ice cream a milkshake?"... Well no. Ice cream is ice cream, and a milkshake is a milkshake. A "blizzard" is literally nothing, it's just how they advertise their soft serve w/ mixings.

 

God damn, I'm always on the wrong side of these things. I woulda said yes.

 

Okay, you changed my mind. I think the confusion originally came from the fact that they use some sort of blender.

 

A thread about milkshakes and nobody's made a Shone reference yet? #earthquakemilkshake

 

Around here it would be known as a concrete. Basically thicker than normal ice cream with something mixed in.

 

I live by 2 DQ's. Blizzard's are alright. I'm terrified of their food, though. At least in my head, it's the equivalent of Wienerschnitzel's food.

 

I worked at one in high school and the food is so gross. Only could eat the chicken strips. But with my discount I would buy a kids ice cream cone and then stack the ice cream to the ceiling.

 

I'm glad I never tried any. It doesn't help that the two closest to me look like they haven't been updated since (presumably) 1979. One of them is walk-up style, similar to those old-school burger places. Which is a nice idea, but man, it's desperate for a fresh coat of paint. It looks like the last place you'd want to order any kind of food.

 

But sometimes they give you the metal tin with your milkshake with a long spoon in it! lol

 

I currently work at a Dairy Queen And I will tell you... It's not a shake!
Also, the food isn't the best but I don't think it's that bad. I just eat ice cream all the time

 

I prefer Sonic's drink selection

 

Since the spoon usually comes in the extra cup, and not in the actual shake glass that they serve you.... I've always assumed the spoon was simply a tool to help you neatly transfer extra milkshake into your glass. The straw is for your actual consumption.

 

This!

 

Lol I guess I am just a heathen who enjoys scooping it out! ;)

 

^ Peasant.

 

wow the fact that they turn the cup over and nothing falls out and then give it to you makes my ass hurt just looking at that.
