My favorite shake was the Coke Frosties at Sonic. They don’t offer them anymore. 
I need to see if DQ has them. It’s just a Coke float blended into a milkshake.
There’s a DQ not that far from me that still does hand-dipped chocolate and butterscotch dilly bars.
Now that we have that settled, can we all agree the best DQ item is the peanut buster parfait, even without advertising?
Because it is.
And the Beetle Cone is second.
I remember when those were a buck fifty. We’d save the spoons & parfait glasses from PBP purchases at our local DQ and reuse them for root beer floats.
They’re bite-sized chunks of unaged cheddar cheese that are battered and fried. Similar to mozzarella sticks, I guess.
And sort of a thing Culver’s is known for, another reason not to go to DQ I guess.
On the subject of these thick shake like ice cream concoctions, Arby’s used to have a thing called a Concrete and I think that was my favorite fast food ice cream thing ever. There was only one location in my area that had the ice cream counter and they got rid of it the same time they dropped baked potatoes in the late 90s. A loaded baked potato and peanut butter chocolate concrete was my go to lunch for awhile.
Back in the day (1970’s) the Blizzard was a shake so thick it could scarcely be pulled up the straw. You had to wait for it to melt a little to drink it. A large one would last hours. THAT was a Blizzard.
This has been puzzling me. I’ve eaten a crap ton of Blizzards over the years in multiple places. I have NEVER had one handed to me upside down, and if I had I would have called the manager and complained.
What is a Beetle cone?
Yeah, well they don’t really hand it to you upside down. Like in the video they invert it and then return it upright before they hand it to you.
Because a Blizzard with M&M’s is all that is good and delicious in the world and you obviously have a heart full of hate.
Sometimes (they’re actually supposed to) they’ll tip it upside down to show you how thick it is and then hand it to you. They don’t put it in your hands upside down.
Good to know there’s at least one other person out there that prefers M&M Blizzards.
Anyone remember the barbecue sandwiches they used to sell? it was their version of a dollar sandwich… it was the only non ice cream thing I ever ate there except of a trip to Nevada
yeah the one we used to have sometimes they tipped it right after they finished it and not in front of you
one I went to in texas the girl who made us a few (there were like 6 made)tipped it in front of me ……but the other girl made a new batch of soft serve and it was having problems setting up and it went splat …. she made a new one and it still had problems
So the manager said we could have the messed up ones (which honestly they were ok just not thick) free of charge and gave us a gift certificate for what the order would of been since the machine was busted as he put it and put up a sign saying they were only selling ice cream treats out of the cooler
If they didn’t sell the sandwiches they’d of closed the doors for the day
Around here, at least, they are the only fast food place that makes something like it. The closest is the McFlurry, but its mixings are far more limited.
Let’s let noted humorist James Lileks explain:
Hey now! I said I loved them too! Much more so before they took away mint flavoring
