I understand your frustration. The stuff Dairy Queen serves in there combs isn't ice cream. :biggrinjester:
True, but a Blizzard with your favorite add-in on a hot summer evening is hard to beat. DQ is a Texas company too. Medium Cookie Dough Blizzard with extra stuff. Yumm!

"Medieval" - Quite commonly mispronounced as Mid-Evil

Watch my lips and enunciate: Me-De-Evil

Now that wasn't so difficult was it?

If you say "I seen..." then I'll go ahead and assume that sentence will never be finished with "the inside of a book". :nono:

"Ideal" which is a perfectly fine word, but not when it's used in place of "Idea".

Along those lines "physical" again, perfectly fine word, but not when you're trying to say "fiscal year." I hear this multiple times a day at work.

Man I really hate to melt your Blizzard, but Dairy Queen started in Illinois and is now headquartered in Minnesota. Just goes to show how effective advertising can be! Kind of like Texas and Armadillos the myth lives on. :lol:

BTW it's owned by Warren Buffett, well actually Berkshire Hathaway. I eat there anyway.

I'm glad someone else posted this. They do have a specific division just for Texas that is 100% franchisee owned. The Texas locations have their own me is that are only available in TX. for what its worth.
