Dairy Queen is a fast food chain famous for soft serve “ice cream” which they put bits of other things in it, like oreo, M&Ms, cookie dough etc. for what they call a Blizzard, and part of their promotion is that they’re supposed to flip the thing upside down quickly before serving it to you, to show that it is thick enough to not immediately run out and make a mess.
But milkshakes are better when they’re thin and runny, because it makes it a lot easier to drink them through a straw. Now I know why Dairy Queen does that but I don’t understand why anyone would want a thick milkshake. I want to be able to drink mine, not eat it with a spoon.
it’s not a milkshake it’s ice cream with candy mixed in to order. it’s served with a spoon in a cup so you can get in a drive through and store it in a cup holder.
It’s happened so long in my life that I’m mostly unfazed. The ice cream is thick and the cup they use holds it well to the sides so it can stay upside down (unless the machine mixed it wrong, but I’ve never seen it fall) for a few seconds before any real budging.
It almost fell out on me once. I think the ice cream in the machine was still fresh so it was still a bit too soft. The employee caught it in time and flipped it back up before it spilled out.
Did you do the evil thing and insist that, because it fell down, it was free per the advertisements conditions?
I can never bring myself to call out the fast food worker on a policy like that, like the McDonald’s ‘window to food in 30 seconds’ nonsense they pull out sometimes or the ‘if we didn’t ask you about wanting fries, get free French fries’ shit. Don’t make customers into inspectors/watch dogs.
As much as I was tempted to demand a replacement, I didn’t want to make the person’s (likely) already miserable work day even worse, so I just laughed it off and took it. They’re just trying to make a living.
At the fast food chain Dairy Queen they make very thick milkshakes. Since they consider this a mark of quality, they prove it to the customer by turning the cup upside down with the milkshake still inside before handing it to the customer. These milkshakes are so thick that they do not fall out when the cup is inverted. Since they do this every time, employees get into the habit of doing this without thinking about it.
The first time I saw this, I blurted out “What are you doing?!” and got a lot of weird looks, and my friend group had to explain it to me.
Dairy Queen is a fast food chain that sells hamburgers etc, along with a variety of frozen dairy products. They advertise the thickness of their Blizzard® milkshake by having the cashier turn it upside down in front of the customer before handing it over.
Non u.s. citizen here, wtf is a Daily Queen and why this make sense ?

They also serve soft drinks which they don’t perform this act for those so I call bullshit.
That’s fucking horrifying
Why?
Because why would you do that? Do you also have a chain store where servers pour sulphuric acid over your cup to show that it doesn’t melt?
Wait until you’ve been to a restaurant that serves things flambé.
They do it because a lot of milkshakes are made so thin and runny, or it sits on the counter for a few minutes and melts before getting to you.
Doing the flip shows that it’s fresh, still cold, and thick.

then you would order a milkshake and not a blizzard

Yes, that’s totally the same thing 😂
To show its thickness.
You’re not too bright, eh?
That’s Dairy Queen!
Yo dawg, we put chili in your ice cream cake so it’ll stay frosty.
…how?

Still don’t like it, though

Honestly, that’s a bit odd, but thanks for answer me
