Even in Ohio they had a pulled pork BBQ sangwich
When I was a kid you could get a nickel for doing chores like washing windows for neighbors. I would take that nickel and buy a cone dipped in chocolate from the Dairy Queen. It took about 45 minutes to walk there but it was worth every step.
i wished they retailed their taco sauce... something about that sauce that makes one crave it!
All I need is a cat, a sad romantic-comedy movie, and a couple of chubby, bespectacled women in their 40s and my night will be complete!
I loved it when my husband took us all to dairy queen after my prenatal appts :)
If there was an Olympic event for speed eating a Dairy Queen vanilla soft serve with chocolate dip, I’d have about 30 gold medals by now.
DQ used to have a pretty good Mushroom-Swiss burger, but it’s sporadic on the menu here. Hardee’s still has a good one, but this town is an interstate pit stop on the state line and is so overrun with fast food joints, they closed ours years ago. They need to get rid of half of them and put in a good steakhouse.
I was setting in DQ eating a cheese burger when I heard JFK has been assented.
Ahh memories, going to the DQ after our Little League games.
Marshmallow sundaes.
In the late ‘60s, a DQ was built about three blocks from my house. I was in Jr High. We thought it was pretty cool and several of us got to know the girls working there by hanging out and drinking Cokes and eating Dip cones. Well, we soon discovered that if someone called in an order and didn’t show up to pick it up, the girls gave whatever it was to us.
We weren’t dumb. I’m sure you can guess what we started doing occasionally.
I started working young. Saw my first “in person” female nipple there. Working in the kitchen as she and I were washing dishes. A button on my smoking hot coworker’s blouse popped open without her noticing. It was absolute perfection.
And nothing has been the same after that. To this day, when I see a Dairy Queen...
Before I got my first job there (outside of mowing lawns), I used to get lunch there when I was in Junior High. We could
leave campus. Took a dollar to school and got a burger, a coke and either fries or a small cone with the change. For a buck and a quarter I got all of the above.
A whole meal, for a dollar.
When everyone at least THOUGHT DQ was a Texas company
To be fair, back in the day - I mean late 70’s - Dairy Queen would have plastic mugs you could get drinks in with the local high school logo/name on it. I’ve got a Sam Rayburn (Texan) left of the Pasadena ISD (Texas) schools I had.
I never remember them making a Deer Park (Deer) ISD (Texas), but would have bought a dozen.
Used to be able to get better hamburgers at the ones outside of Texas.
My memory - I told the guy I wanted chocolate not vanilla - so he scooped out the vanilla cone with his fingers and put chocolate in the cone. Yes, I ate it - the wife freaked out …
I wonder if they still serve that ‘Double Dilly’ I got them to make for me? Take a dilly bar and dip it into the butterscotch topping, presto a Double Dilly!
My favorite is either the Jalitos Ranch Hungr’Buster or the DQ Dude. Grilled jalapeños, mmm.
