We all know Blizzard treats evoke instant smiles. I love hearing stories about how you’ve been thankful for a well-timed Blizz.
Here’s David’s story…
Happened this past weekend.
To make a long story short, we had a kitchen fire. No one was hurt, except for the kitchen.
Immediately, I began the long, tedious job of gutting the kitchen I had lovingly installed 10 years earlier. I really, I mean really put that room together well, because taking it apart again was a royal pain.
My wife and children had been sent off earlier in the day to start looking at things to put in our soon-to-be-new kitchen. I mentioned that she should bring me something to eat as I wouldn’t have time to stop all day.
As I reached my low point of the day about 4 p.m., I was hungry, tired, dirty and ready to tear the rest of the house down. But, like my guardian angel, in walks my wife with my favorite treat, a Butterfinger Blizzard.
She hands it to me and says, “You probably need this.”
She was so right. Brain-freeze never felt so good.

Thanksgiving is the perfect time of year to gather with friends and family to celebrate all you are thankful for during the past year.
And there’s no better way to share appreciation than by bringing a Blizzard Cake to the table. Fudge and chocolate crunch between layers of chocolate or vanilla soft serve and topped off with your Blizzard flavored treat - it’s the perfect way to top off a special day with your favorite people.
Visit your local DQ to pick up yours before the other Turkey Day feasters gobble them up!

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…

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.

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!
When did you work at DQ?
Which Blizzard treat is the most Blizztastic?
What was your fave part about your DQ job?
How many tries did it take for you to master the curl? (Be honest!)
Any inside Blizz tips?

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.
