Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.
Nope.
Haven’t seen an open Dairy Queen locally in almost 10 years.
As a European just let me say wow.
This is wrong on so many levels. And I assume you’re not aware of half of them.
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.
Adding to that, it’s not even icecream but a industrial replacement of (likely) dubious quality.
So one could get more in better quality cheaper if consumed regularly.
I was thinking with the petrol expense factored in wouldn’t it work out cheaper just to buy 2?
Gas is pretty cheap
Oh, I thought they were taking about the ice cream itself as if it had some ungodly ingredients and sprinkles of human rights violations. Now I feel silly.
Thank you!
No you are right, too!
some ungodly ingredients and sprinkles of human
What an unfortunate line break after this
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?
i don’t eat this sort of thing because im not fat
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
This is a shitty ad.
For the left or the right one?
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
Nope. Costco is closer and ice cream is way cheaper there.
No, I don’t need all those extra calories. I also would eat at a local shop instead.
No? I got an ice caffee basicly at every corner
Another ice coffee corner store slut, eh. My people.
No but I also wouldn’t have bothered going to the closer DQ.
Tbh I don’t really need the full blizzard anyway, most of my enjoyment comes from the first several bites then the rest I finish out of inertia. I’d rather have half the size twice as often, from a calorie-counting perspective.
Also you could just buy a bigger size with your gas savings if you really needed it.
So both are wrong.
The one on the left is too low. It needs to be, at the minimum, at about the rim.
The one on the right is too high. You can’t put a flat lid on it, and if you put a tall lid and it melts even a little, you end up with a mess on your hands. Blizzards aren’t cones with drip rings (the holes in the top of the wafers, which is why they shouldn’t be covered up), they’re supposed to stay in the cup.

If you’re at the lesser DQ, you could pay a couple extra bucks and upgrade it to the next size up. You would save from having to buy a gallon of gas if you’re not electric and 20 minutes.
The current GSA mileage rate is $0.7/mi. This rate is pretty for accurate building in the cost of driving a typical car- gas, tires, oil, the car itself, etc.
That trip cost at least $7, if 10 miles of travel includes the return.
So no, I wouldn’t.
I am rarely twenty minutes, let alone electric
