The first time I ordered a Blizzard and the employee asked me to flip it upside down, I reacted with a combination of fear, anger, and even disgust. That this person would tell me to risk my ice cream treat for a marketing gimmick! This month, Dairy Queen will celebrate their 39th year of making kids (and probably adults) uncomfortable by encouraging them to flip their ice creams upside down by selling Blizzards for $0.85.
The Blizzard first started in 1985, hence the $0.85 price point. The Blizzards usually run large, medium, small or mini. The one available for the deal is their “small” size. How small this size will be (and whether it’ll be adjusted for the deal, will be have to wait until April 10 to know for sure. The deal will run until April 23, 2023.
How to get Blizzards for $0.85
You will have to download the Dairy Queen app and you’ll need to be a registered to their rewards program. There are over 6,000 Dairy Queen locations, so you are bound to have one by you. But, the promotion mentions that only participating locations will be running the deal, so make sure to call and ask your local store before heading over. You can check all Dairy Queen locations here.
You will not be able to get the Royal Blizzard Treats, but you will be able to get every other flavor, including some of their old flavors: S’mores Blizzard Treat, Choco Dipped Strawberry Blizzard Treat, and Cotton Candy Blizzard Treat. You can also get their new flavors Oreo Brookie Blizzard Treat and Peanut Butter Puppy Chow Blizzard Treat. You can see the rest of the available flavors here.
