January Marks A Quarter Century Of Blizz

Blizz Prez — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:27:05 +0000

Hi Fans,
2010 is the 25th birthday of everyone’s favorite frozen treat. But which Blizz is the favoritest of the favorites?

In July, DQ asked the Blizzard Fan Club to vote on the first flavor of the New Year, marking the first time ANYONE (and I really mean ANYONE) outside of DQ HQ has chosen the Blizzard of the Month flavor.

Here were your choices:
Chocolate Xtreme
Strawberry CheeseQuake
Banana Cream Pie
Turtle Pecan Cluster

Did you pick the winner? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see…

Guess the Blizz

Last month, a few of you were in the dark when you tried to test your eye for flavor. I heard Brownie Batter, Georgia Mud Fudge, and a few other Chocolaty creations. But the answer, alas, was the Midnight Truffle.

Bethany was the first right answer on our Facebook page and Kelly knew her stuff on Fanbook.

So, let’s try it again…

Name that flavor, fans.

First taste of work

From all the emails and comments, I know DQ was a big part of growing up for many of you.

Melissa wrote an entire post about her teenage years working at her local DQ in Michigan. Sounds like she had a sweet time serving up cold treats to all the soft serve lovers in Dexter. Thanks for sharing, Melissa!

Who else out there was a former cone curler? Answers these questions and I might feature you as my next DQ Superstar!

The Great Toffee War: Heath vs Skor

Blizz Prez — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:21:13 +0000

Hi Blizz fans,

Did you know there’s a HUGE difference between Canada and the U.S.? Well, yes, for one, they’re entirely different countries. And yes, our friendly neighbors to the north pronounce “about” in their own special way. But I’m talking about Blizzard treats.

The U.S. and Canada have two completely different toffee Blizzard treats!

Canada swirls and twirls delicious buttery Skor bars with creamy DQ soft serve, while the U.S. is mixing up theirs with bits of crunchy Heath.

Now I don’t want to start a Great Toffee War and ruin the peaceful northern and southern borders of the U.S. and Canada, respectively. But what’s the verdict from the fans? Has anyone had both? Which country’s toffee Blizz reigns supreme?

Leave your thoughts in the comments.

It’s baaaaaackk…

Holiday cookie season is just around the corner, and DQ is helping you get in the mood with this sweet snackt - The Girl Scouts Tagalong Peanut Butter Patties Blizzard treat.

Yep, it’s back as the November Blizzard of the Month.

With all the Girl Scouts Cookies on the Blizz Calendar this year, you should be an expert, right? Take this cookie quiz and find out.

Go Nutty In November

With the holidays coming up, you’ve got shopping, planning, and all kinds of stuff ahead of you. That’s why DQ is giving you permission to get a little nutty with the November Blizzard of the Month.

In the U.S., the Girl Scouts are back with the Girl Scouts Tagalong Peanut Butter Patty Blizzard treat. It’s filled with crunchy Girl Scouts PB Patties and creamy peanut butter blended with delicious vanilla DQ soft serve.

And in Canada, DQ is serving up the most taste they could pack under one roof with the Tin Roof Brownie Blizz. It’s chock-full of chocolate-covered peanuts and chewy brownie pieces, then drizzled with delectable chocolate in creamy vanilla DQ soft serve.

So take a break from the holiday hustle and get to DQ, because these choco-nutty Blizzard treats are only around for November.

Why let kids have all the fun?

Attention parents,
Halloween is just around the corner. I’m sure you know, as you’ve spent the last few weeks figuring out how to transform your mild-mannered kid into a ghoulish wild child.

And your reward - watching your kid unload a pillowcase full of candy entirely for themselves.

That’s why DQ is here. All the same sweet treats your little monsters are collecting, but mixed with soft serve. Yum! So while your goblins are gobbling up their loot, swing through your local Dairy Queen and get your own sugar high. You deserve it.

Show Your Upside-Down Frown

Blizz Prez — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:53:35 +0000

Here’s a little Blizz trivia for you. The trademarked slogan for the Blizzard treat is Upsidedownright Thick. Because when DQ soft serve is mixed with whatever sweet or salty goodness fills up your cup, you can flip your treat upside-down without spilling a drop.

And because of this, I came up with a new way to show your Blizz love - the Upside-Down Frown. All you do is flip over, frown, and take a picture. When you turn the picture right-side up, you have a smile!

Check out this Blizz fan’s Upside-Down Frown…

Let’s see your Upside-Down Frowns, fans. Email them to me at clubprez@blizzardfanclub.com.

The Feast Before The Feast

Blizz Prez — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:08:12 +0000

We’re a month away from Thanksgiving and I JUST realized I need to start training for this feast. It comes but once a year, fans, and I’m not going to let a little thing like being “full” get in the way of the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie…my gosh, the PIE!

And since I know we share a love of fantastic food, I’ll let you in on my plan. Here it is…DQ Chicken Wraps and Pumpkin Pie Blizzard treats! It’s as close to the flavor of Thanksgiving as I’m going to get without spending the next month in the kitchen.

All this turkey talk has made me hungry - I’m off to DQ to gobble up a cornucopia of eats and treats. Hey, I’m in training, remember?

See you there?

Soft serve up a crafty treat

Blizz Prez — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:49:49 +0000

I know from your emails that I have a lot of crafty Blizz buds. Well, I was thinking of whipping up something like this to combat my soft serve headaches. So… who’s with me?

Or if you’re up to the challenge - how about a Blizzard cup based off of this? WOW!
