Blizzards are ok. They have never had hotdogs…. Ever…. What’s good with that. Just take them off the menu if you don’t want to serve hotdogs.

Such a bummer! Ordered two identical Confetti Cake Mini Blizzards and even paid $1.19 for additional confetti cake pieces to be mixed in. There was definitely no "confetti frosting blended in" as this blizzard is described and maybe 4 tiny cake pieces total at the top. The rest of the cup is just vanilla ice cream with nothing mixed in - look at the photo! Seriously, why are they skimping on the core ingredients to make a blizzard? If I wanted plain vanilla ice cream, I'd just order that. Please take this review to heart, DQ!

Unfortunately it seems DQ is taking after Mcds and not servicing their soft serve machine. After waiting in like for 15 minutes, we were informed the soft serve machine was down
