more weeks dairy queen is a fan favorite when it comes to frozen treats but there are some things
that even die hard fans may not be aware of so get ready to dig into 10 secrets every dairy queen fan
needs to know i can't keep a secret i can't if you try they'll serve you your blizzard upside down
this is where will is the upside down the dairy queen franchise is probably best known
for its blizzards a creamy dessert consisting of delicious soft serve mixed with other goodies that
the customer chooses blizzards are so popular that the chain has even opened locations and
travel terminals such as airports to add to the experience for customers on the go sometimes
though the blizzards are so popular that the chain runs out of ingredients this has happened
in locations all over the country which shows just how popular this famous treat has become
it's likely that if you've ever purchased a blizzard from dairy queen that they flipped it
upside down first before handing it to you there's a good explanation for this the blizzard according
to dairy queen is distinct from other frozen desserts because of how sick it is therefore most
dairy queen employees will serve you your blizzard upside down to demonstrate to consumers that their
frozen treats truly defy gravity and are so thick and creamy if this flip does not happen
you may be eligible for a free blizzard however there's a cat junior blizzard marshal at the
dairy queen the website for dairy queen states that not all locations will offer you a free
blizzard if it is not presented upside down the website claims that each restaurant's independent
franchise owner chooses whether to provide the upside down or next one's free promotion
and whether to invert blizzard treats at their particular location make sure the location is part
of the offer before getting overly enthusiastic about this prospect and ordering a blizzard while
anticipating a sophisticated upside down trick if not all you will get is disappointment
mark cuban worked at dq for a day mark cuban that's me you might be surprised to learn that

as a teenager working a part-time job owner of the dallas mavericks basketball franchise mark cuban
got himself into trouble when he disparaged ed rush the director of nba officials cuban declared
that ed was a fantastic referee but he would never hire the man to manage a dairy queen who is that
man and why isn't his enthusiasm being punished cuban was subsequently penalized by the nba with a

took orders served up goodies and even created some blizzards for customers cuban seemed to be
a natural behind the counter he is a quick learner and the managers were actually impressed with his
performance lest anyone assume the billionaire is beyond serving burgers and fries it's obvious

dq bought orange julius where were you they had an orange julius if you've ever visited a dairy
queen you may have noticed that occasionally they offer unique menu items that go beyond the usual
soft-serve burgers or even ice cream shakes most dairy queen menus also feature a whole
section devoted to a type of beverage that you may not have even heard of while the orange
julius restaurant franchise isn't as well known as it once was you can still enjoy the delicious
beverage at most dairy queen locations orange julius a classic a conventional orange julius
contains orange juice sugar milk vanilla and egg whites the beverage enjoyed great success from
the 1950s through the 1980s but it truly took off after dairy queen acquired the trademark in 1988.
in reality after the buyout many dairy queen outlets also changed to orange julius locations
and the two businesses amalgamated to become one in addition to the traditional orange julius dairy
queen also offers smoothies and a strawberry banana orange julius beverage under the orange
julius bran now that you know where to go you can satisfy your want for a creamy orange beverage
whenever it arises a strange rumor about the burger this is a wrapper over the years dairy
queen has evolved from a simple ice cream restaurant to a global brand with thousands
of locations across the world one of the ways the company has expanded over the years is by
introducing new menu items one of the most popular menu items has to be the dq burger which has
become a staple at many dq locations the dq burger is a simple burger with a variety of toppings such
as onions cheese lettuce and tomato dairy queen is quite well recognized and well liked for its
culinary offerings in addition to its delectable frozen sweets and snacks these days however there
have been some concerns about the hamburgers look at this sorry miserable squash thing someone once
alleged that the burgers dairy queen was selling included human flesh however dairy queen insists
it couldn't be more false the fbi raid at a dairy queen in greenwood south carolina
is what gave rise to this odd claim the manager of this particular location told the media that
this raid was not in regards to the hamburger meat but actually to find an employee that worked there
who was wanted by the police the fbi was looking for a person operating an illegal money transfer
business therefore there is no danger that you will be eating any human bits when you order a
dairy queen burger no one is sure how this strange rumor actually came to be but it sure caught the
attention of dq fans quickly the soft serve recipe is extremely important first bowl of a new era
dairy queen soft serve is one of many tasty treats that the dq menu has to offer
it's an absolute classic american treat and its flavor is known all around the world dairy queen
soft serve is often described as a frozen dairy product due to its similarity to ice cream however
it can actually be cold ice cream by definition anyone who has eaten dairy queen soft serve is
likely curious about how they might manufacture the recipe at home however the formula for the
renowned dairy queen soft serve continues to be a well-guarded secret the formula is actually so
secret in hush hush that dairy queen management refused to even bring it up in an interview with
media and said that no one could possibly know the secret you know our secret recipe is a secret to
what makes that smooth creamy ice cold delicacy so delectable it is held in a safe deposit box
with only a few keys so there's no way they could reveal what's contained in that formula
it seems logical that the business would want to keep the formula under stringent lock and
key given the iconic nature of the soft serve and the fact that it is used in another fan favorite
from dairy queen the blizzard now you know just how seriously dairy queen takes their soft serve
if you didn't before no doubt formed their band at dairy queen do you guys want to join us you would
not immediately associate a pop punk band from the 1990s with dairy queen but in actuality no doubt
was born in a dairy queen john spence a former member of no doubt was key to the band's exciting
start while working at a dairy queen john spence and eric stefani discussed forming a band stefani
bought a keyboard and the pair gathered together a group of musicians which included eric's sister
gwen stefani who also worked at the dairy queen they practiced in eric and gwen's parents garage
the group members made the decision to take music seriously in 1986. it should be our song
for the eurovision song no no no so while making chocolate dipped cones at their local dairy queen
that's quite an awesome origin story and gwen stefani said she earned her first cash working
at dairy queen in an interview gwen stefani and no doubt thus established unequivocally
that famous people are in fact exactly like us of course not everyone starts their first actual
job and forms a world famous band but you get the idea the famous blizzards aren't actually
ice cream yeah yeah i like ice cream ice cream dairy queen the world's largest ice cream fast
food restaurant chain is known for its hand-dipped ice cream dilly bars and friendly service but did
you know there are more than 4 000 dairy queen locations across the united states that's more
than any other chain of its kind dairy queen is one of the most successful chains in the country
most certainly ice cream is first to come to mind when you think of the goodies at dairy queen
after all soft serve is cold and creamy and isn't that what ice cream is well not always
it turns out that the soft serve and blizzard delights from dairy queen don't match the
specifications set out by the u.s food and drug administration to qualify as ice cream in truth
the dairy queen website says that their soft serve does not technically meet the definition
of actual ice cream the soft serve only contains 5 butter fat which is less than the 10 minimum
required to be considered ice cream so there's a reason dairy queen won't call it ice cream even
though it's a delectable frozen delicacy well no matter what you call it it's still an incredibly
mouth-watering treat the original dq menu was simple and cheap what the hell do you kids watch
oh right ice cream like many other fast food restaurants dairy queen has undergone a number
of alterations since its creation the company has been operating for so long that it seems to
reason that certain things like the menu would be different today than it was then the menu at dairy
queen was much more condensed and straightforward before it first started serving food in actuality
it took dairy queen and nine full years after its founding before milkshakes and malts were added
to the menu in 1949. the original dairy queen menu differed significantly from what is offered today
although they did initially provide soft-serve cones and ice cream sundaes the prices of their
most well-liked offerings were quite astonishing i always say that i was born too late a fresh hot
fudge sundae was only eight cents and a soft-serve cone was only five cents although the tasty new
items on the dairy queen menu are unquestionably appreciated bringing back the lower prices of
yesteryear would be great the blizzard wasn't on the menu until 1985. and i can't believe it didn't
exist before the dairy queen blizzard is loaded with soft-serve ice cream and fun toppings making
for an ultimate dessert the blizzard starts with your choice of vanilla soft serve and then adds
a combination of your favorite mixins anything from candy bars to pieces of brownie have been
added into a blizzard and the chain is constantly churning out new combinations and famous flavors
so there's always something new to try it's really one of the best ways to cool down on a warm day
although the blizzard may be the most well-known item offered at dairy queen just take a little
taste it wasn't on the menu when the restaurant first debuted according to the dairy queen website
the blizzard took around 45 years before making its appearance on the dq menu believe it or not
the blizzard only first appeared in dq shops in 1985 and diners were quickly enamored the blizzard
was so significant that it received coverage in the new york times nearly a year after it was
first released it was unquestionably the biggest thing to happen to dairy queen since their opening
the blizzard was a huge hit in america and restaurant employees said that the machines
were typically operating non-stop to keep up with client demand it's hard to imagine a time
when you could visit a dairy queen and not find the popular delicacy on the menu they've been
around since the 1940s who's up for dairy queen although most dairy queen locations now have a
contemporary appearance and a modernized menu the chain undoubtedly has a lengthy history
even though dairy queen has evolved throughout the years looking back at its beginnings is
still rather intriguing the company's history also explains why so many individuals consider
dairy queen to be a completely traditional fast food restaurant the first dairy queen was
opened in joliet illinois in 1940 and today the company has more than 6 000 locations worldwide
the first dairy queen to open up outside the u.s was in saskatchewan canada in 1953
the first international location was opened in sydney australia in 1974 and today dairy queen
has locations in close to 30 countries dairy queen has certainly been around for a while and because
it truly had its beginnings in a tiny illinois community it has a strong all-american reputation
dairy queen is the sort of establishment that people yearn for when on a road trip through
the united states or when they're in need of some chilly comfort food born in middle america dairy
queen represents what many americans feel is the true flavor of their childhood on a hot summer day
