Spring is all up in the air and the birds are chirping. So was I. Chirping last night for a Dairy Queen Blizzard. A Blizzard is a phenominal marriage of ice cream and goodies, usually in the form of crushed up cookies or candy bars.
Kp, my two roommates, and myself made the drive to Dairy Queen last night to partake in some Blizzard noise. Little did we know, that we were stepping face first into a consumer’s worst nightmare.
On the blizzard menu, you now have the option of paying 49 cents more for what they call “extra stuff”. Extra stuff turned out to be the stuff they used to put in the blizzard.
All four of us got the blizzard, and none of us got the “extra stuff”. All four had the same problem. About halfway down, all of the sudden there wasn’t any more stuff. No more cookies.. no more candy bars.. no more sprinkles. It turns out that the “extra stuff” is the stuff that used to be included normally. Now you have to pay extra for what they just used to toss in there.
WTF Dairy Queen. Hot eats cool treats my ass.
I’m not sure how Popeye, a stroke survivor (check his face) and aficionado of spinach, a food that I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to, has managed to emblazen his name on a chainstore that sells chicken. However, he has managed to weasel his way onto a product that will blow you down. It sure is tasty! While Popeye’s chicken will not grant you the temporary ability of super strenth, the kind to thwart Bluto as he tries to kidnap and rape your girlfriend, it will grant you temporary fullness and satisfaction for a low price. Best of all, one has opened up here in Pittsburgh, right in the Southside. I haven’t been able to make it out to this local one due to a severe leg injury with a wheat thresher, but if any of your people out there in internet land has, please share you’re experience. I’ll gladly pay you tomorrow for some chicken today.
