Dairy Queen Disappointment
I had developed a fondness of Dairy Queen’s Georgia Mud Fudge blizzards. Chocolate icecream with brownie pieces and pecans swirled in, what’s not to like? And I suppose I should explain that when I say fondness, I don’t mean that I had a dependency, but I seriously enjoyed them. A lot. But alas, there will be no more Georgia Mud Fudge treats for me, because stupid Dairy Queen has discontinued them, and without any forewarning. Dylan and I were supposed to go see Pirates of the Caribbean with my Mom and Bryan this weekend, and we arrived early because Dylan has a little bit of a promptness issue (if he doesn’t see the previews he gets upset). Also, I had to make sure there was time for me to get my special Dairy Queen snack and smuggle it into the theater. So, we wait in line at the Dairy Queen for what seemed like forever (but was actually only 3-5 minutes), and when we get up to the counter and order the girl working the register informs us that they don’t make the Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard anymore. Just like that. She was a little snotty about it, really. You’d think they would train their employees on how to break such devastating news to their customers in a kinder, more compassionate way. Plus, it was still listed on the menu. I think that they should have made it for me just on principle. Here’s what I really don’t understand: they have brownies on hand because of their Brownie Earthquake creation, they have pecans for other treats, so why can’t they mix them into chocolate icecream and continue to provide the best blizzard ever? Seriously, I’m irked.


Hello
You need to travel around a little. My local DQ also dropped the Georgia Mud Fudge, but I found that most al the others I have stopped at throughout the SE USA has the GMF blizzard. Every one will be a little different, but all are good. Most of the newer franchises don’t have the Chocalate. ice cream machine. I remember which ones. The best I have found is on Tunnel Road in Ashville, NC. Stop there if you are passing through. Just off the 240 Bypass. They ain’t gone. Thank God.
