    You made me curious. In case anyone else is also curious; the Blizzard has been around since 1962 and has existed in it's current form, with all the stuff mixed in, since 1985, and the McFlurry was created by a Canadian franchisee in 1995 and started rolling out around the US in 1997.

      Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.

      Without a doubt yes. Why? Because I bet the customer service and wait time at the 2nd one is better.

      I’m too damn grumpy for that.

        This question is more American than apple pie and an AR-15.

        Edit: I've started some shit with the apple pie.

            I would report the DQ on the left to corporate. Fast food franchises have standards they meed to follow in order to not damage the brand. The franchise owner will absolutely get spanked for that.

                I mean this as softly as possible:

                It's not your job to shout at people online and be negative about things in relation to your personal past traumas.

                You might be intending it as help, but you're just coming across like a raging asshole.

                This sort of behavior is a sign that you have a lot of shit to work through still. I'd expect that this sort of aggressive admonishing didn't work on you, and is part of that shit you have to work through. Don't perpetuate it.

                From: Someone raised by a narcisist anxiety riddled wino with emotional regulation issues, and an absentee emotionally unavailable depressive man with ADHD.

                Not trying any sort of one upmanship, just highlighting that plenty of people have personal traumas. Try to not make it the world's problem to deal with.

                Few things:

                1. Appreciate ya.
                2. I'm neither shouting or trolling.
                3. Don't eat garbage.

                It seems to me that people here are getting really upset by the idea that buying a sugary treat commercial product is trashy. Growing up I had no choices other than trash. Now I'm going to call out trashy behavior when I see it. Eating junk food is trashy.

                  No shit. I used to live in New York, where I could take the subway everywhere. When I moved to Orlando, including the cost of a car, my cost of living tripled. Living in New York was cheaper.

                    Trivia: while the phrase "American as apple pie" is a thing, it's something of a misnomer. Apples aren't New World, and apple pie was a thing prior to Europeans heading over to the Americas.

                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple

                    Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Eurasia before they were introduced to North America by European colonists.

                    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pie

                    Originating in the 14th century in England, apple pie recipes are now a standard part of cuisines in many countries where apples grow.

                    Apple pie was brought to the colonies by the English, the Dutch, and the Swedes during the 17th and 18th centuries.

                    Although originating in England and eaten in Europe since long before the European colonization of the Americas, apple pie as used in the phrase "as American as apple pie" describes something as being "typically American".[31][32] In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, apple pie became a symbol of American prosperity and national pride. A newspaper article published in 1902 declared that "No pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished."[33] The dish was also commemorated in the phrase "for Mom and apple pie"—supposedly the stock answer of American soldiers in World War II, whenever journalists asked why they were going to war. Jack Holden and Frances Kay sang in their patriotic 1950 song "The Fiery Bear", creating contrast between this symbol of U.S. culture and the Russian bear of the Soviet Union:

                    We love our baseball and apple pie
                    We love our county fair
                    We'll keep Old Glory waving high
                    There's no place here for a bear

                    Maybe we should use "American as chocolate chip cookies" --- those were invented in the US.

                        I used to love Dairy Queen until I went vegan. Now they can go fuck themselves for supporting an industry that rapes and abuses animals.

                          Leather? You want to kill a cow just so you can walk around? A few days barefoot and you'll grow your own self-replenishing leather. If you really must waste resources on your feet, I recommend cutting up an old, used tire. Same techniques as leather footwear, but re-use rather than murder.

                          First, forget about using steel belted tires.  Just don’t try it.  They are HARD to cut no matter how you do it and it is dangerous with tiny bits of steel flying around your face and eyes.  Not to mention that eventually you will get a sliver of steel in your finger or foot.  If you have ever gotten steel in your finger, you know how aggravating that is.

                          There are plenty of nylon belted tires you can use.  The most common source is the little donut spare tires in newer cars.  These are the ones marked ‘Temporary Use Only and Don’t drive over 45 miles per hour.’  The reason being, they are not steel belted.  You can get these at the junkyard or just steal one out of your neighbor’s car when they are unloading groceries.

                              Nah, for the obvious gas reasons. Now, is it was a Foster Freeze... still nah, but I'd certainly consider it if I had other business in that town and could get a Boss burger alongside it.

                                  Honestly dude, just show them the picture, and tip an extra 2 bucks when you go. They’re minimum wage workers, they don’t give a fuck and they do not get tips ever at dq. They will remember that shit forever and do that for you.

                                    As a former DQ regular (one of my favorite treats as I drove cross-country) I can say that the one on the left is definitely very short. Like, "I want my money back" full Karen "I want to speak to the manager" short.

                                      How often do you get ice cream?

                                        Trivia: while the phrase "American as apple pie" is a thing, it's something of a misnomer. Apples aren't New World, and apple pie was a thing prior to Europeans heading over to the Americas.

                                        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple

                                        Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Eurasia before they were introduced to North America by European colonists.

                                        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pie

                                        Originating in the 14th century in England, apple pie recipes are now a standard part of cuisines in many countries where apples grow.

                                        Apple pie was brought to the colonies by the English, the Dutch, and the Swedes during the 17th and 18th centuries.

                                        Although originating in England and eaten in Europe since long before the European colonization of the Americas, apple pie as used in the phrase "as American as apple pie" describes something as being "typically American".[31][32] In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, apple pie became a symbol of American prosperity and national pride. A newspaper article published in 1902 declared that "No pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished."[33] The dish was also commemorated in the phrase "for Mom and apple pie"—supposedly the stock answer of American soldiers in World War II, whenever journalists asked why they were going to war. Jack Holden and Frances Kay sang in their patriotic 1950 song "The Fiery Bear", creating contrast between this symbol of U.S. culture and the Russian bear of the Soviet Union:

                                        We love our baseball and apple pie
                                        We love our county fair
                                        We'll keep Old Glory waving high
                                        There's no place here for a bear

                                        Maybe we should use "American as chocolate chip cookies" --- those were invented in the US.
