Question for employees..

I frequent dairy queen, as I love the blizzard.
My order is
Small Oreo and Cookie Dough Blizzard.
I order it all the time as my local dairy queen and it comes out perfect every time, with the ingredients appearing as just, vanilla ice cream, cookie dough, and oreos, HOWEVER
I notice when I try getting my same order at another location it taste weird, almost as if they added chocolate syrup to the blizzard. Is this standard?
Can any employees explain?

Does your local franchise do this when there are speciality cookie dough Blizzards?

I love when Dairy Queen has a seasonal sugar cookie base blizzard because I love cookie dough but don’t eat chocolate, however, the store I go to will replace with regular chocolate chip cookie dough if they run out of the sugar cookie dough, and they won’t say anything. I don’t find out until I’ve taken a bite. This happened twice last year, and it just happened to me again the other day. The reason I know it is something purposeful rather than a mistake is that the first time it happened, I brought it back in to request another one with the correct cookie dough and they’re like, “we’re out of the sugar cookie dough.”

I can understand running out of ingredients for something that’s only temporarily on the menu, and I can understand wanting to make a substitution so that they can still make the sale or whatever. But not saying anything is wild to me. A quick, “We are out of the sugar cookie dough, but we can substitute with chocolate chip cookie dough if that’s okay,” doesn’t seem that hard.

Just curious if other people have experienced this or if it’s just my store.

Texas DQ burrito 7.5/10

I usually ignore this part of the DQ menu, but I’m obsessed with their patty melt so I figured I should finally try some of the Tex Mex stuff.

Texas DQ is really its own thing. I trust their food more than I trust most fast food, and I usually don’t feel gross after eating it.

The burrito was actually good. Solid 7.5/10. It tastes like a chimichanga, or maybe one of the better frozen burritos from the grocery store that costs a little more. Not bland mystery fast food filling. It seems like some kind of seasoned beef mixture, basically whatever you expect inside a beef chimichanga.

Also, and this matters, it’s deep fried.
It’s a good size too. Pretty substantial. I liked it. I may or may not get it again, but I’m glad I tried it. Now I want to try the beef taco bowl.
