    We went through the drive through today to get a cherry dipped cone and we had our dog in the car and he said was out the window. We told them it was his 5th birthday and they came back with a pup cup for him!

    I went to Dairy Queen (Waukee) last night 10 ish minutes before close with my boyfriend. We both ordered blizzards, he got heath and snickers, I got the new chocolate dipped strawberry (none of which comes with any nut product which is important for later). As I finished about 1/3 of my blizzard I noticed I was getting any of the cheesecake, chocolate or strawberry in the scoops I was eating. The other 2/3 of the blizzard was just vanilla icecream with none of the mix ins? Anyways as I got to the bottom I also got a piece of Reese’s cup, luckily I don’t have a nut allergy. But anyways if I wanted to pay $7 for vanilla ice cream I would’ve just gone to aldi and gotten two 48 oz pints at that rate.

    Went to Dairy Queen for a tender basket with ranch on my lunch break. I was super hungry and wasn’t paying attention and dipped my tender in my ranch not thinking anything and noticed that it tasted awful. I looked at my ranch and realized it was spoiled. My ranch had foam on the lid and was gelatinized. Tried calling 3 times to let them know it was spoiled to prevent other people from receiving the same ranch but never got an answer.
