Making Of A DQ Blizzard

In 1985, the Dairy Queen system began blending simple combinations of candies, fruit, cookies, nuts and DQ soft serve to create the signature Blizzard Flavor Treat.

The Blizzard is the Dairy Queen systems single greatest dessert innovation in 23 years. More than 175 million were sold during its inaugural year.

Since the late 1950s, the DQ system has owned the Blizzard trademarkback when it was an ultra thick, rich, shake-like treat without fruit, cookies or candy ingredients.

The Dairy Queen system first used the word concrete to describe a Blizzard treat made without any candy added in. Upon further testing, candy was added and the word concrete dropped from the name. * Since its introduction more than 75 Blizzard flavors have been introduced, including Caramel Waffle Crisp, Tin Roof Brownie, Chocolate Xtreme and Strawberry CheeseQuake®.

One-of-a-kind holiday favorites include Pumpkin Pie, Yule Flip Peppermint Chip and, for Valentines Day, Choco Cherry Love. * The top five most popular Blizzard flavors are: Oreo® Cookie, Chocolate chip cookie dough, M&Ms®, Reeses® Peanut Butter Cups and Butterfinger®.

The Dairy Queen system began a Blizzard of the Month program in 2003, spotlighting new and favorite flavors. * Dairy Queen locations in China serve Green Tea Blizzard treats.

On June 21, 2005, the Dairy Queen system garnered a Guinness Worlds Record for the largest frozen treat. Built in Springfield, Mass., to celebrate the Blizzard treats 20th birthday, the 22-foot, 8,224.85-pound Blizzard treat was made with 2,575 pounds of crushed Oreo cookies and 705 gallons of DQ soft serve.

The incredible popularity of the Blizzard brand led the Dairy Queen system to initiate the Blizzard Fan Club, which has grown to more than 2 million members.

In August, Dairy Queen restaurants across the U.S and Canada participate in Miracle Treat Day, when proceeds from all Blizzard Flavor Treats sold during that day benefit Childrens Miracle Network.

In August, 2002, a man coined the DQ Blizzard Guy completed his goal of eating a Blizzard treat in every state, with a visit to a Dairy Queen restaurant in Alaska for his 50th Blizzard Treat.

Popular blogger, entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban spent a day managing a Dairy Queen location in Coppell, Texas after a challenge from us where fans lined up in the street to get a Blizzard treat from him.
