Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.

      Aside from the environmental impact of driving 10 (!) Extra miles (or at all) for a tiny bit of extra ice cream, which is neither healthy nor needed. It just doesn’t make sense on a personal financial level to waste so much gas to get a cheaper (per volume) treat. For a European driving to get ice cream alone is ridiculous as many placed have ice cream shops in the town we live in that we walk or bike to.

        I was thinking with the petrol expense factored in wouldn’t it work out cheaper just to buy 2?

            I also dont know how much a blizzard is. I imagine theyre basically the same as a mcflurry from mcdonalds?

              Looks like a blizzard is in the realm of $6? I don’t go to DQ, but living in a region with many of them I can say gas is generally accessible for ~$2.50 so unless you’re driving something that gets 10mpg there’s basically no way to make buying two be worth it. I only have to fill up gas once every month or two because my car is a plug in hybrid and I rarely go more than ~40 miles in a trip so it’s unlikely I use gas at all. With free nights I don’t even really pay much to fill my battery.

        Adding to that, it’s not even icecream but a industrial replacement of (likely) dubious quality.

        So one could get more in better quality cheaper if consumed regularly.

        Oh, I thought they were taking about the ice cream itself as if it had some ungodly ingredients and sprinkles of human rights violations. Now I feel silly.

        Thank you!
