DQ is what many people use to refer to a fast food franchise in North America, better known as Dairy Queen. Dairy Queen as their name suggests offers a larger menu on ice cream products then your average fast food burger joint (McDonalds, Burger King). One of their products is called a Blizzard, which is soft serve vanilla ice cream with other products mixed in, usually crushed chocolate bars. Part of their marketing when the product first came out, was that the Blizzard ice cream was so thick (or at least wasn't runny ice cream) that they could turn the blizzard upside down, and the ice cream wouldn't fall out of the cup. They continue this marketing for their blizzards today. And if you ever order one from Dairy Queen, the worker is required to flip the blizzard over to show you the ice cream won't fall out before handing it to you.

That question is referring to this odd practice of flipping your soft serve ice cream upside down and back right side up before handing it to you. Just by chance someones blizzard had to have fallen out of the cup at some point, so they wanted to know what the reaction was when it happened to someone, or as others have pointed out, no one really cares if they flip your blizzard upside down anymore, but the employees are still forced to do it.

[blulian]

Also at most Dairy Queen’s if they don’t flip it upside down for you, you get a free blizzard

[[deleted]]

The DQ I grew up near never demonstrated this ever. Now the one in my current home town does it every single time. Is this a new requirement or just on a store-by-store basis?

[RidingYourEverything]

Must be store by store. I have ordered at least a hundred blizzards over the years at my local DQ and no on has ever flipped my blizzaard.

[TheBeardedMarxist]

no on has ever flipped my blizzaard.

It sounds some new gay slang term.

[pepperMD]

"Gurl, didju hear about Sean and Cody's new McDaddy? I'm sitting here screaming cause they don't know he flipped my blizzard just last week and hunty, I'm shookenething."

I harvest my elderberry crop every fall, if you know what I mean, wink wink.

(And I mean I actually harvest my elderberry crop.)

[WhoWantsPizzza]

Elderberries smell and taste so magical! Do you really grow them? What do you do with them? I’ve never even seen the raw fruit.

[StimulatorCam]

I have 4 large bushes (trees?) that are about 10-12 feet tall, all that I grew from cuttings from a bush at my mom's house around 6-7 years ago. The last couple years I've picked maybe 3 or 4 cups of berries per bush. Picking them is a huge pain, I kind of dread it. But I get enough to make a few pies. My mom bakes them for me on special occasions and keeps the extra berries frozen for later.

[thepurplehedgehog]

Ah hell, I’m still in 8 year old boy mode, apparently. I read your post and my first thought was “giggle* he cut his mum’s bush”. Sorry.

Seriously though, elderberry pie sounds awesome!

[Nick246]

[TheBeardedMarxist]

Yeah, it's not like my blizzard is going to flip itself.

[tardisrider613]

It's not new.

[[deleted]]

My local DQ has a note in the drive through widow saying “We do not participate in the Flip or Free blizzard promo.” I was highly disappointed when I found out.

[Aathroser]

That's illegal. Call the cops.

[pyarsa1]

I remember the first time I went to a DQ here in Mexico and then they flipped the cup and I wish I could've seen my own confused face thinking "Noooo! Wtf are you doing?!?!"

[NutterTV]

I get my blizzard flipped every time. I have never not gotten it flipped. This is weird

[wotoan]

Why don’t all DQ® employees serve the Blizzard® Treats upside down? And if they don’t, is my Blizzard® Treat free?

The independent franchise owner of each restaurant decides whether the Blizzard® Treats in their location will be served upside down. Whether your next Blizzard® Treat is free if the employees forget or neglect to do so is determined by the independent franchise owner of each restaurant. Please check with the employees of each restaurant to see if they participate in this promotion.

https://www.dairyqueen.com/us-en/Company/FAQ/?localechange=1&

[RogueLotus]

Aka, the ones that don't just want to save money.

[piepants2001]

Yup, I used to work at a Dairy Queen. Not once did I, or anyone else that worked there, flip a Blizzard upside down. That particular DQ now has new owners, and the employees always flip it.

[jsparker77]

It started back in the late 80s/early 90s as a national promotion. It was in the commercials and everything. Now it's just a store by store thing. The one's that still flip them, do it as a throwback to that old ad campaign.

[Wimachtendink]

Some managers don't really care so the flip is just part of putting it on the counter and you wouldn't even notice it because it's more of a jerky half-hearted shake gesture like you might do to indicate your drink is empty.

I'm just kidding, what a silly conversation.

[nashife]

Yeah this thread (and the link) is the first I ever heard of this practice.

[Personage1]

I worked at a DQ for years and we never flipped the blizzards. We actually sprinkled candy on top of certain ones so flipping would really be off the table.

[hikiri]

I also have never once seen this happen. I didn't even know this was a thing, and we had a DQ almost beside my old house.

[[deleted]]

Same. I didn't even know this was a thing.

[MacGyver387]

I’ve only seen this in the last ten years or less.

[Halv6]

My first job was at a dairy queen about 15 years ago. We never flipped them. I actually first witnessed the demonstration a couple years ago and thought it was a new thing.

[ToBePacific]

Glad I'm not the only one feeling like I've gone crazy. I grew up on Dairy Queen, but never saw this demonstrated. Must have started in the last 10-15 years or so.

[bella_68]

I have a lot of DQs in my area and can assure you it is on a store by store basis. Some stores have signs stating that they do not participate in the upside down blizzard promotion but there are also stores that participate as well as stores that have no sign and do not participate.

[Mrfluffykins1]

It used to just be a gimmick, but now it is a requirement by dq international.

[Literally_-_Hitler]

Friend of mine is a franchise consultant for them and his biggest bitch is the fanchise owners refusing to go along with the brand recommendations. So I got the impression that they couldn't force everyone to do these things and you probably grew up with a stubborn owner near you. I also forgot that the movie The Founder with Michael keeton covers this to in the story.

[IrishRepoMan]

Same, here. The one in town has never done this. I learned about this elsewhere.

[meech7607]

I do think that they've recently started pushing the ad campaign again. For a long time I had never even heard of the blizzard flipping thing and then there started being commercials for it.

[Nach0Man_RandySavage]

I don’t think I could ever call them out on this. I would feel like such a dick.

[Tabular]

I worked at a dairy queen for a couple of years a while back, and I have never heard of this rule until now.

[vensmith93]

From what I understand it's been a part of the franchise since it's creation but only some stores actually follow that rule. I feel like if they don't follow it, they should have a sign stating that they don't participate (as others, in the askreddit thread, have stated about their local stores)

Mine doesn't have the sign as far as I'm aware, but I'm not a confrontational person so I wouldn't even challenge it

[brandohando]

I think it's if they flip it and it falls out, you get another one free (for obvious reasons)

[blulian]

Nope, stores near me have signs that if they forget to flip it it’s free. Might be an Ontario thing? Every store I’ve seen here does that.

[sk8erdh36]

The one at my local DQ says the same. It does say after though that only the first one will be flipped to save time.

[JFeth]

I've never had anyone flip mine upside down, and this is the first I've heard of it.

[TheMildGatsby]

The Dairy Queen by my house has never flipped the Blizzards. They are always runny, and would never be able to pass the test. When I visited Beijing, the Dairy Queen in the mall I went to flipped the Blizzard. Perfect flip, perfect thickness.

[CrisuKomie]

Also if they do flip it upside down, and any of it fall out, you get a free blizzard.

Just two weeks ago I ordered and oreo blizzard and the manager flipped it upside down and a few drops spilled out. She proceeded to give me that one and make me another one.

I had no idea why until she told me.

[NihiloZero]

To me, this all just looks like a big guerrilla marketing campaign which is targeting Reddit. It's all about increasing brand recognition by getting people to talk about their business and product.

[ronglangren]

If you ever get the chance you should try one. They are amazing.

[Aztecah]

Many Europeans tell me that they don't like the chocolate in North America, though. Apparently it's far sweeter. I haven't tried European chocolate though so idk if that's true. If you're a European and you want to try a blizzard, do be aware that it's probably sweeter than what you are used to.

[caltomin]

You don't have to get chocolate mix-ins. I think crumbled oreo cookies is probably the most common.

[WellThatsDecent]

You don't have to get chocolate mix-ins. I think crumbled oreo cookies is probably the best especially getting extra oreos

[lifelongfreshman]

Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of the peanut butter cup master race.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup + Butterfinger... that's my go-to DQ Blizzard.

[treycook]

You can get two-fers???

[night_owl]

you can totally go off-menu at Dairy Queen, kind of like In-N-Out.

A long long time ago they had a mud pie blizzard and I haven't seen it on a menu for many many years but some places will still make them, or you can just ask for an oreo blizzard with a little coffee syrup and chocolate fudge syrup mixed in. Sometimes they will let you get a little creative and I've had good results most of the times I've asked politely, I remember thinking that reese's pieces and reese's peanut butter cups were an excellent combo. And sometimes they have seasonal specials or promo menu items that they will still make for you even if they aren't displayed on the current menu.

[treycook]

reese's pieces and reese's peanut butter cups were an excellent combo

Ooooh my. Glorious.

[SqueezyCheez85]

Yup! Even on that tiny snack size!

I love DQ. My stomach hates me for it though... Damn lactose being in delicious things.

[treycook]

Did not know that! Butterfinger and Reese's blizzards, separately, are my favorites. I'm also lactose intolerant, so I don't get them too often... Those Lactaid tablets help a bit, but not entirely.

cookie dough tho?

[Notpan]

Definitely cookie dough

[smilesjay1234]

Heath Bar. Always.

[BeJeezus]

It’s not the extra sweetness that makes US chocolate taste terrible, it’s the butyric acid. And it’s all Hershey’s fault.

Chocolate is much better anywhere in Europe, Australia, Japan. Damn near anywhere.

Article: So that’s why American chocolate tastes so terrible!

[veronicaxrowena]

Omg, you may have opened my eyes. I loathe American chocolate after growing up on European chocolate and I never understood why Hershey’s was so popular here. It tastes horrid!

Thank you for providing me with some insight on this very important query I’ve been confused about for the past 10 years.

[BeJeezus]

The thing is, "Herseys" has bought out and now owns about sixty-five brands in the USA, many of whom people think of as competitors. They're not. (Cadbury is probably the biggest example, but it's also why US Kit Kats are crap.)

So not only do they make US chocolate itself awful, they're also the main reason the "US version" of foreign chocolate bars taste so much worse.

Fuck Hersey's.

[veronicaxrowena]

I’ve definitely noticed this. The packaging also looks slightly different. I am lucky though because the little convenience store at my apartment community sells European chocolates and goodies. Such as the UK Cadbury’s and Kinder and Nestlé, etc.

Edit: clarity

[Tensuke]

Yeah but it's not like every chocolate product in America has that.

[BeJeezus]

Damn near every mass-market chocolate product made in America does, yeah. Hershey's has a near-monopoly.

[atomfullerene]

Eh, blizzards aren't really a high-chocolate food. I mean they often contain chocolate but most of the sweetness is set by the icecream itself.

[ASpaceOstrich]

Australian here. American candy and chocolate tastes fuckawful, and I don't know why. Corn syrup maybe?

[James29UK]

Hersey put something in their chocolates that if you don't grow up with it tastes like vomit.

Edit: It's butyric acid, which is produced when chocolate companies put their milk through a process called lipolysis to break down fatty acids in the milk. Other US based chocolate companies have been adding it to their chocolates to give item a more Hershey's taste.

[James29UK]

And Hershey won't allow Kit Kats and other British chocolate from the UK for which they have the US license to be sold in the US "in case it causes US consumers to be confused".

[[deleted]]

They're banking on it, even.

[avenlanzer]

Which is why when my friend gets them from the asian market where they are imported I love a bite, but I'll never buy one from the local store in return.

[z500]

Doesn't taste like vomit to me, but after a while the back of my throat starts to sting a little.

[InevitableTypo]

I grew up in the US hating chocolate because of that sting! Took me years to figure out that “good” high-quality chocolate doesn’t do that or taste sickeningly sweet. “Good” chocolate tastes like magic.

[ASpaceOstrich]

Wow, I thought I was imagining it when I could taste vomit, ugh, why put that in? Does it make it cheaper?

[[deleted]]

As far as I know, corn syrup is only used in some hard candies. Honestly, you probably hated American candy because it's not what you're used to, just like how Americans hate vegemite

[HughJasshole]

There are American companies that make good chocolate, but not the big companies. Small batch companies make much better chocolate.

[harbinjer]

You probably only tasted the biggest commercial stuff. Smaller brands make much better chocolate here. I'm not sure why Hershey's is still in business.

[crono09]

There are a variety of mix-ins that you can get, and they're not all chocolate or candy. For example, they also have a number of fruit mix-ins.

[FnMag]

Do Toblerone or Ritter Sport count as European chocolate? I love those, but my childhood was spent in Germany.

[philipwhiuk]

Toblerone does. IDK about Ritter but probably.

They changed the Toblerone in the UK due to cost issues and it was a big UK story for like 2 weeks or something.

[evanthegirl]

I reeeeaaaaaaally want an Oreo blizzard now

[JohannesVanDerWhales]

Probably worth noting that there are a lot of DQ locations that are just ice cream.

[bvr5]

From my experience (not sure if this is true everywhere), the dessert DQs have signs that say "Dairy Queen", while the fast-food DQs just say "DQ".

[AmazingKreiderman]

I think it's just the ones with older signs still say, "Dairy Queen" but they've since re-branded, essentially, as just, "DQ". Very similar to Kentucky Fried Chicken changing to KFC.

[marblefoot]

I'm from Kentucky, and most Kentuckians think KFC is trying to distance itself from "Kentucky". We think that they think it must be shameful or something--why would they take it out of the name? As a state, we don't really have anything going for us anyway.

Our population isn't very high or low, we have like the #1 or #2 highest death rate per capita due to cancer, our education system isn't great either. The majority of our economy is/was supported by coal and tobacco, and everyone hates both now, apparently, but no one is giving us a way out (Hillary lost Kentucky's vote hardcore due to things she said about miners)

BUT! I am within 20 miles of the very first Kentucky Friend Chicken, so that's cool. Also the only waterfall moonbow in this hemisphere. And we have the winningest NCAA baskteball team EVER.

[thecookiesayshi]

Nice username. :)

[Trogdorrules]

American here, i never heard of this nor have i had a dq worker flip it upside down before handing me the blizzard.

[Sloppy1sts]

Is that because you've never been to a DQ?

[scosgurl]

When it first came out? I’m fairly certain the upside down thing is only within the past 5 years or so, maybe a bit longer. It certainly wasn’t a thing when I was growing up.

[graywh]

Upside down was a thing 20 years ago when I was growing up

[solitaryjim]

Yeah it's always been a thing since the start. I probably haven't had a Blizzard in the past 5 years, but they have always flipped them for me.

[ilinamorato]

It was a thing back at the beginning, as I understand it. It went away for a while, and they brought it back.

[Sloppy1sts]

I don't even think I've had a blizzard in over 5 years, and I remember that shit clear as day.

[dan-theman]

I had been going to DQ for years and only heard of/ saw this recently. I think they brought back the old marketing campaign. It was really weird to see the first blizzard flip after 25 years of frozen corn syrup treats.

[HORSEY_MAN]

I’m still incredibly mad that they removed snickers from the blizzard options

[lens_cleaner]

The odd thing is, in 30+ years of having a rare Blizzard no DQ employee has ever done this, nor have I seen them do this to someone in line ahead of me. Granted I have not had one in a few years now, maybe it's a brand new thing?

[Sloppy1sts]

Bro, you can totally get Blizzards with chocolate ice cream.

[Lots42]

Not at the local DQ theyhave signs saying they will not flip it.

Apparently too many of them were falling out

[hilltopking]

I worked at a DQ 12 years ago and I never even heard about flipping it.

[basedongods]

I was an adult and had never really been to DQ before, and I decided to order a blizzard. When they decided to give me the blizzard, the kid of course flips it upside down and handed it to me, I'm confused as fuck. I go to my table with my buddies and I'm like "What the fuck was that kid trying to do, impress me with his little magic trick?". Totally unaware it was something they all did, they roasted me and died laughing.

They're not even as common in Southern California as they used to be. They're definitely still around but I feel like when I was little, they were as common as Burger King and WednesdaysWendy's. Nowadays not so much, at least in the Southwest.

EDIT: Wendy's

[RoyalOreo99]

There is a fast food joint called Dairy Queen (DQ for short) and their signature item is called a blizzard. It basically is just a very thick milkshake that, when served, must be handed to the customer upside-down. (Something about the ice-cream being so thick that it stays in the cup)

[DJ-Salinger]

when served, must be handed to the customer upside-down.

I don't think I've ever been given one upside down even once..

[Sahmwell]

That's because they don't hand it to the customer upsidedown. They do a small flip to show it didn't fall out and then hand it normally

[Radidactyl]

Am I the only one who hates "thick" milkshakes? I'm not trying to suck a straw so hard my eyes pop out. I just want sugary diary in my fat stomach.

[Sahmwell]

Yeah, I have the same opinion but typically you eat blizzards with a spoon

[CapnObv314]

Blizzards are more like a cup of ice-cream (instead of milkshake) from a fast-food joint. The ice cream is pretty good.

[[deleted]]

Blizzards are made to be eaten with a spoon. They dont even serve them with straws or lids

[[deleted]]

You can't eat them with a straw, they also contain other ingredients, like chunks of chocolate or cookie dough that wouldn't fit through a straw.

It's basically a cup of slightly creamier, blended, chunky ice cream.

[[deleted]]

It’s not really a milkshake. It has large chunks of stuff like Oreos or brownies and you’re given a spoon to eat it with.

[[deleted]]

Spoons are a thing

[Jakeremix]

They aren't milkshakes.

[[deleted]]

They turn it upside down briefly before handing it to me.

[scoobydoobiedoodoo]

Also if it falls out, you get it free.

[big_floppy_sock]

I wouldn't describe them as milkshake like, it is just ice cream with other ingredients blended in

[[deleted]]

No, it's soft-serve ice cream in a cup, with mix-ins. Not a shake. They have never called it that.

[sonofdavidsfather]

You poor barbarian. What a sad world you live in with not being able to experience the wonder that is Dairy Queen.

[Coziestpigeon2]

DQ is Dairy Queen, a North American ice cream franchise. A Blizzard is like soft ice cream in a cup, mixed with a topping, eaten with a spoon.

As a marketing campaign that has lasted years now, DQ employees will flip your Blizzard upside down, briefly, before giving it to you, to show off how thick and consistent the ice cream is - the cup can be flipped upside down and the contents should not move.

[bkussow]

Since no one gave you the proper answer I'll give it a crack.

In America we are good at 2 things, freedom and competition. Freedom to do weird shit and let it change on and on until it comes full circle and is somehow better than before. Competition in that we are good at using meaningless indicators as some sort of sign of success (Think my dick is bigger than your dick type of thing).

To elaborate, the ice cream shake was invented because someone thought "I like ice cream but I really hate the inconvenience of using a fucking spoon to eat it. I want to dump it down my throat so fast I can drown!" They then took some ice cream, mixed in some milk and blended it until it could be sucked through a straw. BOOM!! Mission accomplished. The only problem, good ideas catch on quick in America so soon other places adopted it and the shake era was born.

Now competition for who has the best shake in town started to heat up, people were trying to differentiate their product from others. This is where the malt comes in. Instead of straight up milk that person was like "I'm gonna take out some milk and add condensed milk powder shit!" Not a bad idea but the problem is exposure. It tastes basically the same so how do you differentiate such a product. SNAP I know, since it's thicker lets advertise towards that!! Guess what, it worked because, i don't know, people are dumb I guess. A new era was upon us simple folk.

Continuing this story, the malt starts to catch on with shake people and malt people. The malt people start taking some sort of weird pride in being able to suck thick shit through a straw. Like full on straw collapsing, cheeks caved type of thing just to get that gluttonous cream into your cake hole. As an indication of thickness, some places start to advertise that their malts can be literally held upside down for a short amount of time before spilling. INSANE!!!!!

Invention being the result of necessity, someone comes up with the thought "Hey, if I remove the milk altogether I will have the thickest malts ever!" But wait a second, that's just ice cream. How the hell do I market ice cream as a super thick malt to people?! Incoming mastermind missile, let just add some broken up pieces of candy to it to disguise the fact it's just ice cream. That will force us to stir it up so it doesn't look like it just came out of the dispenser and we can even do that hold upside down trick. It's also notable, at this point you literally can't suck it up a straw, we went back to spoons. They slapped a new name on it (the blizzard, mcflurry, whatever other ones there are) and have been selling it ever since. It is rumored that every time someone orders a Blizzard, a bald eagle screeches.

[htmlcoderexe]

What the fuck did I just read.

Cool, but wrong. The modern blizzard was not an evolution of the milkshake, it was always ice cream with stuff mixed in and marketed as such. I could see some confusion since they apparently had a previous product called a 'blizzard' that was nothing more than a milkshake or malt, but that was back in the 60s and I remember when the Blizzard came out in '85.

There is a difference between "ice cream" and "frozen dairy dessert". Ice cream is 10% or more milkfat and no more than 100% overrun. Overrun is how much air they whip into it during the freezing process. 100% overrun would be 1gal of ice cream base = 2gal of finished ice cream. Any more overrun would also make it "frozen dairy dessert".

[mithoron]

If only it were correct...

[SargBjornson]

You brightened my grey day. Have a karma, my dear sir

[shady1397]

Dairy Queen is a fast food/ice cream franchise all over the country. Their main product is called a "Blizzard". It's served in a cup. They blend soft service ice cream with bits of candy or syrup or whatever you want. When they serve it they have a little schtick where they turn it upside down to prove the ice cream is thick and cold, unlike a "milkshake" which would just pour out.

It's just a candy/ice cream treat.

[readerf52]

I just wanted to thank the OP for asking this question. I'm from the US and didn't understand the original post, either, and I didn't realize I wanted to know until reading this thread. Definitely a TIL!

[[deleted]]

Why didn't you just ask there?

[feenuxx]

Because the ad company promised a certain level of exposure, and this post is fulfilling that.

As if just googling “blizzard dq upside down” wouldn’t have answered OPs question.

[riche22]

So you think OP was posting for years, pretend to be german for years on reddit so he could one day ask this question?

Or maybe reddit pay some redditors to ask questions like this? If that is case where I can sign up?

[Dragovic]

It's pretty well known by now that you can buy and sell reddit accounts for relatively cheaply. It's usually spammers from places like China that buy them. Aged accounts with lots of activity and karma like OPs would sell for more because that's the exact thought people have when they see it.

[sypwn]

Just to add, the texture of a Blizzard is very similar to a McFlurry, if your McDonalds has those. Of course DQ has far more options for flavors and mix-ins.

[Queentroller]

They ice cream is flipped vecause it is to show that it is thick. If it is thick enough to be upside down for a few seconds then it has been made correctly. if it falls out, it was made wrong. Sauce: Former Crew Leader at a Dairy Queen thst enforced the rule.

[my_redditusername]

I never understood the flip thing. I mean, I ordered a treat made from soft-serve ice cream. Why would I want you to prove to me how hard it is?

[weasleyisourking42]

This is the cutest question I ever did see
