Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?
-
You're assuming the one on the left isn't the one already doing it correctly.
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.

Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
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 bearMaybe we should use "American as chocolate chip cookies" --- those were invented in the US.
Or brownies

Blueberry Pie
That'd work!

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.
Heard. You just can't replace what cities have

I guess one could invent some sort of mechanical cranked device that maybe has multiple people cranking and some sort of geared system to combine their inputs and produce the same level of mixing as an electrically-driven system.
See, there you go! Now, for the mix-ins: you can’t just go buy a Snickers bar, that has a plastic wrapper and HFCS. Making your own Snickers is so much better and rewarding. And you’d better mix it in by hand!

This question is more American than apple pie and an AR-15.
Edit: I've started some shit with the apple pie.
Right?

Theres a difference between everyday conveniences and going out of your way to waste $5 in fuel to get marginally more ice cream.

Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
20 minutes total or 40 minutes total? Honestly probably no to both. Depends how regularly it is.

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.
Well, if you've ethical issues with ranching, there is an ice cream option!
Breast Milk Ice Cream A Hit At London Store
Anyone pining for some ice cream in London now has an unusual option to consider: ice cream made from mothers' breast milk. The Icecreamists shop has made headlines for using milk from as many as 15 women to make its new "Baby Gaga" flavor.

Hey it’s that joke about how do you know if someone’s vegan “don’t worry they’ll tell you”
-
Yes, it's not hard.
That’s a fine suggestion in a cooking forum, and completely asinine to a general audience.
-
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.

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

I have to drive an hour to even get the blizzard on the left

Everywhere I have lived and visited that was car centric has had local dairy farms with ice cream nearby. Lucky? Or do I just look around more than others?

Why does everyone on Lemmy seem to get so snarky about convenience? They're talking about an ice cream that they can get while they're at work, not everyone has the free time to make ice cream themselves. And I bet even if they did someone would be snarky about how milk tastes better if you milk your own cow for it instead of buying it.

But they have the free time to drive some extra 20 miles (supposedly) for ice cream? I mean, the whole thread exploded in shitty takes, but driving some 35ish kilometres extra for some extra ice cream is a wild take to begin with

honestly, why would anyone pay for a blizzard, when the only thing they do to it is mix candy with ice cream in a blender? you do that yourselves.
-
No. For starters I'm a metric kind of guy. Secondly I'm not that into blizzards.
the neat thing about measurements of distance is even if you drive 20 kilometers , you're still driving for miles .

I mean, the english may have apple pies, but if JOLLY has taught me anything it's that they apparently are nowhere near as good as american apple pie, to the point there's a fancy pie restaurant in London that specializes in american pies.
