Music, gas prices, childhood, and a Dairy Queen Blizzard. Everything seemed sweet in the 90’s. While Blizzards are obviously available at any Dairy Queen across the United States, they just had to eliminate my favorite one: The Nerds Blizzard.
Dairy Queen’s Nerds Blizzard was the combination of creamy soft serve ice cream mixed with the fruity and tanginess of Nerds candy. It was delicious and unique from the majority of other blizzards which revolved around an overdose of chocolate. I love chocolate, but it is just overkill for me if I have a blizzard with Oreo or Kit-Kats more than occasionally. I am not even that big of a fan of Nerds, but the mixture of Nerds and soft serve ice cream was quite the treat when I was younger.
I went in a Dairy Queen about seven years ago and they did not have a Nerds blizzard even on their menu. I learned that they had discontinued them from that specific Dairy Queen, and I have never seen them since. I thought the Nerds Blizzard was one of their biggest sellers? At the very least, I wish they would make the Nerds Blizzard one of their monthly specialties, similar to their tagalongs blizzard and cotton candy blizzard.
Verdict: 9.0
I think I am going to have to teach myself how to make a Nerds Blizzard. The ice cream at Dairy Queen was never there biggest sell, anyway. Anyone got some directions on how to make a Nerds Blizzard?
