Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?

I wouldn't buy either. DQ is a dinosaur about to go extinct.
You don't like their ice cream?

ice dessert to recognize it's subpar quality.
The amount of butterfat says absolutely nothing about the quality of a food item.
Gelato from the Cremeria Cavour in Bologna is higher quality than Dairy Queen despite Dairy Queen having more butter fat.
Edited for clarity.
wrote last edited by [email protected]A sorbet or an Italian ice doesn't have butterfat at all, because neither contain dairy.
I think that it'd be hard to convincingly claim that an ice cream intrinsically is higher quality than a sorbet or Italian ice.

There's a lot of things I miss about Orlando, the car dependency isn't one of them.

It tells you something about the quality of ice cream. Yeah, it doesn't tell you about the quality compared to a totally different product, but if you are comparing "ice cream" quality then it is an objective measure of quality.

Nah. FDA definitions exist to make large corporations more money. There isn't much else to it.
wrote last edited by [email protected]This except the complete opposite...
The FDA definitions and regulations cost corporations money, because they need to produce what they claim.
History lesson, pre-FDA a large corporation got caught selling thickened yellow sugar water as honey... The kicker was they would put a dead bee in each bottle to sell the fraud.
FDA, EPA and other larger government regulating agencies aren't perfect but jesus was shit crazy bad before them.
(Another fun example, look up the Ohio river fire.
Yes, the companies literally dumped enough shit into the river, it caught fire.) -
Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
No. I could probably get 3 gallons of ice cream at the grocery store for what one of those costs.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Amount of butterfat is a single ingredient. A single ingredient does not determine the quality of a food product.
Even if two food products were identical except for butterfat content, it still wouldn't be an objective measure of quality because it only affects taste and taste is subjective. It's like declaring that one burger is objectively better because it has more chili pepper seasoning. Now imagine if the FDA declared that to call a product a burger, it needed to have a minimum Scolville level of 500,000. The FDA would have created the requirement as consumer protection because people expected burgers to be spicy. The label would have had nothing to do with quality.

Nope. Costco is closer and ice cream is way cheaper there.

It looks like they never expanded out-of-state, so probably not an option for OP.

How do you feel their indexing stacks up to Google? I like them from an ethical standpoint, but paying for a browser that doesn't work well might be difficult to pallete I'm afraid.

That's sad to hear. l moved away a decade ago and it was the right decision but it still kinda hurts. And visiting has been made complicated the past few years because I'm trans - I pass but it's where I grew up and some of the people I knew before are assholes.

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.
ice cream. With less it is not cream.

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.

I wouldn't be happy if I was given sorbet when I asked for ice cream.

As a Canadian, lol.
I hope I'm aware of at least 3/4's of the levels of wrongness. We're pretty influenced by American culture but still have our own identity. It seems to be fading a bit with time but I remember travelling to the US and thinking why is the yogurt so sweet? Why is the bread sweet?
