Worked there for years and have eaten my weight (and then some) in ice cream. They don't make them anymore, but NERDS blizzards were my favorite! <br /><br />I've also taken in fresh peaches and made my own peach blizzard...super yummy!

We've got one old roadside stand kind like the picture (and probably that old) that's only open in the summer. It's a time-keeping thing in town; it's not summer until the 8th St DQ is open!<br /><br />I love a Skor Blizzard but somedays I'll settle for a large plain soft serve cone. I remember as a kid, Dairy Queen had about 8 hard ice cream flavours, too, but we always went for the soft ones because we could have hard ice cream at home.

(I think that's what they were called.) Oh those were definitely my favorite. That or a chocolate dipped vanilla soft serve.

I would always get the tiniest cone (I think it was 10c) and then a treat would be the chocolate dipping for another 5c. As I got older, Dilly Bars were a favourite - I think I just liked the name!! Now my fav is the Peanut Buster Parfait ... love the chocolate and peanut butter combo mixed in with the ice cream. YUM!

However, before that one opened we used to go about 10 miles to the next closest one. Took the kiddos there every week and the owners knew us. One day I had an empty wallet and they let me "slide by" until the next time we visited. Boy was I ever glad. Would you like to tell your small kids "sorry, Mommy forgot to bring the money" while we were looking at our ice cream??? My favorite is still a good 'ole hot fudge sundae.

My parents like to take our girls to the DQ near them which is a training store and after a certain time, treats are half off.
