Food and Drink What's your opinion of Dairy Queen? - Page 8

Good for shakes and ice cream back in the day. Haven't been to one in ages.

I received a mailer today that there's a new store not far from me. Incredibly cheap deals on burgers, chicken, sides and desserts.

I know it's introductory stuff, but might be worth a try. I used to love their strawberry shakes.

Ice cream is always good.

The food, meh, or maybe even less than that.
However: Liberty location>State Line location

Also, do they serve tea? I don't see it on the drink menu. Not a soda drinker.

Well, that meal was very good. I got the double cheeseburger with regular fries and a peanut Buster parfait. With the coupons it was $7.68 with tax.

That being said, I would never pay full price. That would push the bill close to $12 for my order. Not paying that.

It’s back on the menu.

I'm going to work my way through this coupon book. 99c onion rings, too. They have multiples of each offer. Might get fat at DQ if I use them all.

They're really nailing their target demo with these coupon mailers.

I suppose, if that demographic includes everyone. The place was crowded with every walk of life. Families, teens, middle aged, etc..

Dairy Queen is NOT ice cream.

Legally they can't call it ice cream and that's why they call it "soft serve".

FDA regulations require ice cream to contain at least 10% milk/milk solids. Dairy Queen is mostly fillers and sugar and does not contain enough dairy to meet the FDA's definition.

Don't eat it, it's gross-ass garbage.

Thanks for the update from 1970.

Now I'm envisioning a Dairy Queen that contains English lords, that guy from the Gorton's fish stick box, someone dressed as a stormtrooper, and some attractive southern California women roller skating in bikinis.

And I like it. Now I want to go.

It's "soft serve" and is mostly sugar and shit.

Let’s go for the hat trick!

The DQ in Two Harbors, MN is closed for the winter and will open in the spring. Many still do that.

I am in Lutsen on a ski trip with the kids. Oh joy.
