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

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.

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.I was thinking with the petrol expense factored in wouldn't it work out cheaper just to buy 2?

Gas is pretty cheap

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

Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
DQ can't stay in business around me with their crap ice cream. Also gas isn't free.

Haven’t seen an open Dairy Queen locally in almost 10 years.
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.

I would travel the first 10

Looks like a blizzard is in the realm of $6? I don't go to DQ, but living in a region with many of them I can say gas is generally accessible for ~$2.50 so unless you're driving something that gets 10mpg there's basically no way to make buying two be worth it. I only have to fill up gas once every month or two because my car is a plug in hybrid and I rarely go more than ~40 miles in a trip so it's unlikely I use gas at all. With free nights I don't even really pay much to fill my battery.

I wouldn't buy either though because you're paying dollars for something that costs pennies.

Ah yes, rhetoric for you to justify their profit margins.

You say that, but even McDonalds can't keep their blizzard-knockoff machines running. DQ's got that shit locked down. They've been serving air-fluffed-icecream-surrogate the old fashioned way for decades. It's as American as health insurance that costs more than rent.

False, DQ also serves burgers.

Whatever is enough to keep me just under the amount to qualify for welfare.
Fuck the ruling class.

"A consistent product with little fan fair"
I don't see the problem. It's not great ice cream, but it's cheaper than practically anywhere else.

No. No I wouldn't.
