Why are people here saying that “Blizzards” are “Milkshakes”?!
It’s breaking my brain.
Blizzards aren’t MILKSHAKES. They’re soft-serve icecream in a cup. ICE CREAM is not the same thing as a MILKSHAKE.
You don’t drink a blizzard. You eat it with a spoon. You don’t put two straws in and share it with your sweet-heart down at the old malt-shop. It’s not a drink!
Sorry. Don’t know why this discussion about Blizzard vs Milkshake has triggered me. It’s a new discovery about my personality that I’m not proud of…
Blended ice cream is a milkshake in the USA. I didn’t know it was weird until I ordered a milkshake in Australia.
If you wait long enough, it’s a drink. Don’t tell me what to do.
I would say a frosty is more of a milkshake than a blizzard and I would still argue with some one who says a frosty is a milkshake.
It’s technically not “ice cream” either. Enough of the cream (and fat) is removed that it’s officially labelled “ice milk”, at least in my dairy-centric jurisdiction.
Non u.s. citizen here, wtf is a Daily Queen and why this make sense ?
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.
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.
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.
then you would order a milkshake and not a blizzard
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.
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?
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.
Still don’t like it, though
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.
Honestly, that’s a bit odd, but thanks for answer me
https://youtube.com/shorts/OYQMhpXIOG8 The fail on that one I’ve not seen them hold it that long.
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.
Thanks
Nothing is censored on that post, why would anyone complain?
New engagement bait: everything is fine, but the OP apologizes for the inconvenience.
Is my note still showing up? The original i posted had the word ‘fuck’ censored. I found an uncensored version like 2 mins after and ninja edited the post.
This is what it looks like for me, I guess the note didn’t take the edit
They talking about the background duh
Why would someone put a tweet over the Epstein files?
Maybe they think we should use black pixels from there?
Dairy Queen famously has no liquid products. You can’t buy drinks at Dairy Queen. That person may have never even encountered a beverage in their life prior to the incident described in the tweet. The scenario is plausible.

Is this an American thing? In Canada, Dairy Queen is a full restaurant with burgers and fries and the best onion rings. They serve drinks as well to go with meals. When I was a kid the kids meal would include a token so you could go get a dilly bar or ice cream cone for dessert.
That person was joking. Dairy Queen serves normal drinks, so there is no reason why a person who worked there would turn every cup upside down.
In fact, there are even some blizzards where it was a risk to turn it upside down. If there is enough stuff in there, it runs the risk of falling out over a marketing gimmick.
It is plausible that someone who did things repeatedly for years might do that thing out of context. This is an unlikely extreme, but it is plausible or it wouldn’t land as a joke.
Of course it didn’t happen to the person who told the joke. Most comedy bits like this are either ‘what if’ or extremely embellished to the point of being fictional with something real that was vaguely similar. It is still funny to think about how it could happen, because it might remind us of stuff that other people or even ourselves have done that was stupid and illogical due to habits.
The act of making a blizzard vs filling a cup with soda are not comparable.
Statistically, it is more likely this scenario woild happen at a Dairy Queen than a Burger King but that wouldn’t be as funny.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good joke
Were it simply an allegory for the folly of man, why, I ask you, is the gentleman still laughing about it?
A strong imagination!
We call it Dirty Queen where im from, there’s a solid chance you might get a roach with your blizzard for free!
Brutal
Im not joking sadly. Poverty USA is a hell of a place.
