Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?
-
As a Central American I'm... kinda clueless. What's this about? Enlighten me, please!
Aside from the environmental impact of driving 10 (!) Extra miles (or at all) for a tiny bit of extra ice cream, which is neither healthy nor needed. It just doesn't make sense on a personal financial level to waste so much gas to get a cheaper (per volume) treat.
For a European driving to get ice cream alone is ridiculous as many placed have ice cream shops in the town we live in that we walk or bike to. -
No. I could probably get 3 gallons of ice cream at the grocery store for what one of those costs.
And also for the price of the extra gasoline

Now I feel silly.
Thank you!

Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
Haven’t seen an open Dairy Queen locally in almost 10 years.

What is a DQ? Either way no I wouldn't drive for any of them.
Dairy Queen. An ice cream F&B franchise, with this post most probably about one in US

What an unfortunate line break after this

This is a shitty ad.
For the left or the right one?

So one could get more in better quality cheaper if consumed regularly.

No you are right, too!

The amount of butterfat says absolutely nothing about quality.
Is whole milk not a "quality food item" because it's only 3.25% butterfat?
Edit: I forgot the quality adjective which confused some.
No one said it's not a food item, just that it doesn't quailify as ice cream. Similary Ireland ruled against Subway calling their "bread" bread for the same reason, it doesn't pass the standards to qualify as that specific food item.

Sorry I meant to say "quality food item".
A label for fat content does not determine quality.

Better =/= quality. You can prefer things of lower quality. Sure, it's only one component (I'd argue the most important one), but it's still an objective measure of quality. Maybe you can have just of high quality by using better quality ingredients other than that, but if you're skimping on this one then you're skimping everywhere almost certainly.
DQ is not a fancy ice dessert place. Everyone knows that. They're the bottom tier for it. It's fine to like that. We all have certain low quality things we like; junk food for example. It's OK. You don't need to pretend like it's high quality though.
The definition of Quality: "the degree of excellence of something."
The amount of fat in a food product has nothing to do with its excellence.
objective measure of quality.
It is an objective measurement of an ingredient. It says nothing about quality.
If burgers were traditionally spicy and the FDA declared a burger needed to be Scolville 500,000 to be called a burger, the level of spice still would have nothing to do with its quality. Its a label for consumers to know what they are purchasing. It is not a label about quality.
I didn't say DQ is fancy. I object to confusing a consumer label about an ingredient with an objective measure of quality. No one would say the Gelato from Cremeria Cavour in Bologna is low quality because Dairy Queen has more butter fat.
-
ice cream. With less it is not cream.
It's a label so consumers know what they are buying. It has absolutely nothing to do with quality.
Gelato from the best restaurant in Italy is higher quality than Dairy Queen despite having lower butter fat content.

I also dont know how much a blizzard is. I imagine theyre basically the same as a mcflurry from mcdonalds?

DQ can't stay in business around me with their crap ice cream. Also gas isn't free.

The one by me just closed. They made the image on the left look grand.
I went there six months ago and tried to order three separate things off the menu which weren't in stock.
A lot of these older franchise style companies don't have anybody at the helm making sure that the franchisees are doing them justice. Dairy Queen only exists because they're making a consistent product with a little fanfare.

I'd probably just buy the next size up at the closer store if I wanted that much. I usually buy the smallest size & end up throwing about 1/4 of it away.
Still, when I go for ice cream(*), I'm going because it's a treat. Getting one overstuffed like the one on the right would certainly trigger more dopamine.
So, I guess it's a coin flip depending whether or not it's a nice day for a drive.
