How many Dairy Queen locations are there?
Yes. Founded in Joliet, Illinois, and headquartered in Edina, Minnesota, there's no reason for most DQ restaurants to be outside of Texas. Only about 10% of the 5689 Dairy Queen locations are in Texas. There are almost as many in Ohio. Their advertising in Texas is localized and pitched in such a way that you get the impression that they are a Texas-only chain.
What was Dairy Queen's first blizzard flavor?
The possibilities of Dairy Queen blizzards are endless! You can mix and match whatever toppings you want in your blizzard. To make a blizzard, it starts with vanilla ice cream. Customers have the option of chocolate ice cream; however, you would have to ask for it, because vanilla ice cream is the base of all blizzards, with the exception of Chocolate Extreme. I used to work at Dairy Queen.
Here is a list of all our standard blizzard flavours. (Note: All of these toppings are mixed with vanilla ice cream)
Kit Kat, Smarties, Skor, Oreo, Reese, Crispy Crunch:These toppings would just be mixed by itself with vanilla ice cream.
Strawberry Cheesequake: Strawberry syrup, cheesecake bits
Banana Cream Pie: Sliced bananas, pie crumbs, banana syrup, topped with whipped cream
Cookie Dough: Cookie dough bits, chocolate syrup
Banana Split: Banana, strawberry syrup, pineapple, chocolate syrup
Chocolate extreme: Chocolate ice cream, brownie bits, cocoa fudge, chocolate chunk
Every month, there would be a different "Blizzard of the Month". Our store would only carry the ingredients for that one special month; however, some stores will have the toppings all year round.
Some examples of Blizzard of the Month:
Mint Oreo: Oreo bits, mint syrup
Cotton Candy: Hard cotton candy bits, cotton candy syrup
Pumpkin Pie: Pumpkin pie filling, pie crumbs, topped with whipped cream
Peppermint: Crushed peppermint candy, peppermint sauce
Waffle Crunch: Waffle bits, caramel sauce, chocolate chunk
Chocolate Covered Cherries: Cherries with sugar syrup, chocolate chunk
Georgia Mud Fudge: Brownie bits, cocoa fudge, pecans
Customers are also able to customize their own blizzards with whatever toppings their local Dairy Queen carries.
Chocolate: Smarties, skor, chocolate chunk, reese, crispy crunch, kitkat
Syrup: Caramel, chocolate, hot fudge, cocoa fudge, banana, mint, peppermint, cappuccino, marshmallow
Fruits in sugar syrup: Strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, cherry, pineapple
Fresh fruit: Banana
Others: Chopped nuts, coconut, pecans, brownie bits, pie crumbs, cheesecake bits, cookie dough bits
I have seen some crazy and interesting mix and match blizzards such as:
- Cherries with oreo
- Cookie dough with strawberry
- Blueberry with cappuccino sauce
- Smarties with raspberry
- And the list goes on forever!

How does the dq blizzard maker work?
It creates a soft-serve ice cream shake. Half and half cream is mixed with the powdered flavor. Crushed ice is added to the blue bowl with a teaspoon of salt and some water. The mixed cream and powder goes into the middle of the blue bowl and then spun for 10 minutes. The plunger and spinner spin the ice cream out, and various crushed ingredients are added.
A slightly different procedure:
1. fill bowl up to the line with crushed ice and 1/3 teaspoon salt
2. add cooled water up to the line
3. make sure blue cup is over metal thing in the middle
4. in separate container, combine half & half (3/4) and 1 packet of vanilla mix and blend
5. take out cup and place white lid on
6. add cream mixer ion metal thing
7. Attach the paddle, mix for 10 minutes, and serve

DQ or Dairy queen started in 1940 when the first store opened in Joliet Illinois.
J.F. McCullough and his son Alex were experimenting on ways to serve ice cream.
The pair found that serving the ice cream at 23F was better than solid at -5F. It was "soft" and easily released from a spigot. The naming of the store at the time was just a catchy name thought up by the proprietors.
