By the time the girl gave it to me the ice cream was soupy and luke warm. yuck. i know sonic offers these as well as DQ. I used to love McDonald's flurries, but I refuse to endorse that company. Anyway, opinions, please. Wed May 09 13:05:25 -0700 2007 82182 izzizzi 1 2558042 When I want to splurge I often will go to my local DQ for a blizzard, and I always enjoy them ... certainly not the best treat in the world, but consistently good, despite the fact that the kids who make them seem to be about twelve ! Thu May 10 09:21:57 -0700 2007 2555614 94082 judiftx1 1 2558125 My vote is for the TCBY Shiver. Yum! Thu May 10 09:39:21 -0700 2007 2555614 12365 jessicheese 2 2574934 I second the Shiver. My favorite is peanut butter with oreo Wed May 16 12:27:33 -0700 2007 2558125 48132 carinole 1 2558135 I'm partial to Dairy Queen because I worked there when I was 15 years old. And yes, I probably looked like I was 12! Anyways, as long as you know what to order, its amazing. I try to leave the hot fudge out of the blizzards because it tends to melt them (thats what they put in the cookie dough blizzards) and instead I ask for cocoa fudge which is chilled and really rich. Also, some stores have frozen yogurt soft serve which is REALLY good and can be used in the Blizzards. Yum. Thu May 10 09:42:25 -0700 2007 2555614 36361 thunderbug84 2 2558915 My local Dairy Queen used to have the frozen yogurt but they stopped serving it a few summers ago. I was very upset. Thu May 10 12:46:57 -0700 2007 2558135 12723 mangorita 3 2565592 Oh how I want a *Breeze* -- the Blizzard but with frozen yogurt. DQ has THE BEST vanilla frozen yogurt, and they add a ridiculously wonderful amount of rainbow sprinkles :-) Sun May 13 02:34:16 -0700 2007 2558915 15572 Emme 2 2569168 I worked at a DQ when I was 15 too :) Fun job. And I am still partial to DQ Blizzards. Other places make good ones, but the soft serve at DQ is the best of any place I have tried and that is the key. Mon May 14 14:59:25 -0700 2007 2558135 96359 jenni 3 2569818 Have you tried B&J's soft serve? Also...do you have an opinion of Sonic's Blast? Mon May 14 19:19:46 -0700 2007 2569168 82182 izzizzi 2 2619939 Dairy Queen was my first job at 16yrs old. My favorite is the Tropical blizzard (banana, coconut, & pecans) or the Turtle blizzard(chocolate cone dip, butterscotch, and pecans). Yum. Fri Jun 01 06:28:33 -0700 2007 2558135 69457 Gelato_in_Roma 1 2559195 Have you ever had a "Blast" from Baskin-Robbins? They have a few different flavors, but my absolute FAVE (the one I positively DREAM about) is the Mocha Blast--coffee, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup... YUM!! VERY refreshing AND you get a nice little caffeine high, too! :) Thu May 10 13:59:26 -0700 2007 2555614 95555 CatePoole 1 2559348 That's really surprising,Brusters here (Orlando area) are excellent,never had a blast ,but have had a few hot fudge shakes,and i must say it is the best I've ever had, and being an old fat guy ,that has delighted himself with every fattening treat i could find coast to coast (literally) that's saying something!. Izzizzi, if there is another Bruster's in your area give'm a nother try,,oh and Dairy Queen is pretty good too,enjoy!. Thu May 10 14:33:58 -0700 2007 2555614 89203 jword2001 1 2560709 I actually like the cookies n' cream at El Pollo Loco. Fri May 11 01:19:42 -0700 2007 2555614 11006 chica 1 2560723 when i lived in the US friendly's had a cyclone, but then changed the name to friend-z (i think). in any case, i loved the reese's pb kind because they mixed it with pb cups, chocolate sauce and the pb sauce. Fri May 11 01:53:52 -0700 2007 2555614 70838 taryn 1 2569917 I used to work at a Dairy Queen and I was hooked on chocolate chip cookie dough blizzards like some people are hooked on crack. My favorite way to make one was with a mix of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, 2 shots of hot fudge and double the cookie dough. (no, I wasn't pregnant at the time). We also had this thing called a strawberry mister misty which was a mix of the plain slush ice (sugar and water put in an ice cream freezer so that is the right consistency for a slush) and the strawberries that they use for strawberry sundaes. That was probably my favorite thing there. Mon May 14 20:02:16 -0700 2007 2555614 19464 ohromujici 2 2573388 Mmmmm...when I was little I would often get a Mr. Misty freeze which was the slushy concoction ohromujici described (there were several flavors to choose from) mixed with soft serve vanilla ice cream and it was delicious!! Tue May 15 23:06:36 -0700 2007 2569917 82634 sarahvagaca 1 2597053 The original DQ Blizzard is still the best of this concept! Wed May 23 19:03:16 -0700 2007 2555614 81820 starbucksbrew 1 2617563 It depends...if you want to feel alright afterward, DQ blizzard is the way to go. But if it's an "I know I'll hate myself later, but screw it, I NEED ice cream" type of thing, a concrete from Culver's is pure sin. Thu May 31 11:39:31 -0700 2007 2555614 101387 willrun4food 1 2626600 My favorite chain one is at DQ. It was a mint base with oreos. It was delicious last time I had it. However, my all-time favorite is from a little ice cream stand in Royal Oak, MI called Jimmy's. It's just open in the summers and I remember going there when I was little. You used to pick either chocolate or vanilla soft serve ice cream and up to three mix ins. I always picked vanilla with pb cups, health bar and sometimes chocolate chunks. Absolutely divine! Sun Jun 03 20:54:19 -0700 2007 2555614 18011 Jacey 2 2633435 i live in troy but have never heard of jimmy's. where is it? ray's on coolidge gets most of the of the press as a royal oak favorite.
