Had it growing up in Wisconsin at most soft serve ice cream places. Usually from the now defunct Boy Blue and more recently Dairy Queen. ---

Googling around a bit, it appears that Dairy Queen stopped making the crunch coating some time ago but some franchisees [still carry it](http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/06/diy-dairy-queen-moorhead-minnesota.html). ---

I’m from NE Ohio in 80’s until 93 then moved to mid Ohio and left 2001. I _think_ I remember seeing it, but I don’t ever remember having it or knowing what it was called…maybe… ---

One page leads to another… I remembered when I was a kid and my Aunt took me and my brothers to the old Dairy Queen for dipped cones. I always got chocolate and brother number 2 always got butterscotch. This Dairy Queen wasn’t renovated like the one at the other end of town. We always called it the [“Moo Dairy Queen”](http://highbaugh.goatley.com/wayback4.html) because of the sign. Further down the page - my first real job at age 16 was at the State Theater. A big old theater with an actual balcony (and separate entrance, unfortunately). ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > I see. I figure people who are from the Midwest just know/feel/assume that they are? 🙂 You can’t go by that! Right here on the boards we have a poster who has repeatedly insisted that where he’s from in NY should be considered part of New England. Anyway, the closest thing I’ve ever heard of that similar is a [Nutty Buddy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutty_Buddy). You don’t buy those at an ice cream stand, though. Either you buy them from the ice cream man’s truck, or buy them in a supermarket, but either way it’s a prepackaged ice cream novelty, not something prepared to order. ---

Lifelong West Coast resident, never heard of this before, would like to try it. Sounds good. ---

Used to see it on offer at Chicago-area Dairy Queens. Had it once or twice. ---

Current Columbus resident. Pittsburgh resident in the 70’s and early 80’s - had it there, have it now (although it is rare). Most frequently I find the DQ version of it vs. independent ice cream shops. ---

Live in Central Ohio but not from here. I’ve taken my kids to Dairy Queen many times over the years, pass one a few times a week and there used to be one at the pool where we have a membership. Also go to Graeters, Handels and other places. Can’t recall ever seeing it on a menu or anything. Maybe it’s a special request thing that someone has to tell you about. The picture looks like someone poured a box of kid’s cereal on top of ice cream. ---
