So there's a story behind why they flip the Blizzards. Samuel Temperato, the DQ franchise owner who came up with the idea for Blizzards, was inspired by the frozen treats sold by Ted Drewes, a St. Louis shop owner who termed them “concrete”. In 1959, Steve Gamber, then 14, would stop by Drewes’ Chippewa Street location for a sandwich and chocolate malt, asking Drewes to make it thicker and thicker each time. Drewes had enough and one day flipped the malt upside down to show its thickness, assuring his young customer that if it fell out, it was free. Temperato picked this up for Dairy Queen!

The peanut buster parfait at DQ is EVERYTHING. I've been getting it my whole life. There's just something about hot fudge in cold vanilla ice cream & then the texture crunch of the peanuts w the saltiness all together that makes it OUTSTANDING.

I had a friend send me Jeni’s ice cream as a get well gift when I had a major accident. The flavors were creative, but I didn’t feel the ice cream itself was that wonderful. If you guys want the best ice cream ever, the next time you are in NY, take a trip about 90 minutes north of NYC in Orange County to a place called Bellvale Creamery. They make ice cream from their own dairy farm. They say they are inspired by Italian gelato. Flavors are very natural. I think Alessio would approve. Also, it’s never too cold to eat ice cream!

I must be ancient but I remember a time before the blizzard. My favorite was, and still is, the dipped cone.

Butterfinger Blizzard

Best Ice cream, at least in the north east, is made on dairy farms and sold in their farm stand (they are usually only open during the late spring to early fall). We are lucky to have so many of these places up here

Nah..custard beats the crap out of that. I mean it's nice for sure but custard beats ice cream every time and Alessio is comparing ice cream to gelato which are vastly different products

Some of the best places are small dairies which sell fresh milk, eggs, cheese, and ice cream.

If only Alessio could order a serving of real, Italian gelato for each of us, LOL!

This was awesome y’all. Maybe you can try to make homemade ice cream for a video? You could compare the kind you need special salt for and the kind you make in a machine that doesn’t need the salt. I think there’s a method of rolling a coffee can or something like that as well. You could rate it based on time it takes to make it (from putting ingredients together to frozen state), consistency, taste, cost (machine cost, ingredient cost) and overall happiness on a scale of maybe 0-5 or 0-10. Btw, hearing “the Dairy Queen Guy” recognize you and talk about how he and his wife are fans was super exciting! I can’t imagine how awesome that must feel but the gigantic smiles on your faces spoke volumes. Can’t wait to see the next video! 🤘🏻☺️💕

Dq Also how the guy there knew who you were gets extra points!!

Pistachio ice cream truly has an incredible taste. Yrs ago in NY going to an Italian ice cream shop was so different.

I love your videos! I just discovered you guys and I watch your clips to brighten up my days! Thank you so much!

I have a mall-style food court at my palace with loads of different chains. One of them being Dairy Queen. I like to have my Blizzards with a touch of plutonium to give me that radioactive energy needed to continue developing our program and might. Fun fact: The first DQ restaurant was in Joliet, Illinois, a suburb in Chicago. It was operated by Sherb Noble and opened on June 22, 1940

omg, that ice cube moment, and both your reactions almost had me on the floor from laughing so hard. DQ always reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for the video!

The reason for the spoon up to down is because if you suffer from sensitive teeth in the past it helps you enjoy the ice cream

My husband and I are big Dairy Queen fans. We always go for the chocolate shakes instead of blizzards. Best chocolate shakes ever!

She has such a lovely smile.

I remember as kids living in LI, NY. We would visit my Nonno and Nonna Ferrari in Bensonhurst in Brooklyn. My Nonno would always take us kids to Dairy Queen to get soft serve cones. (Back in the 70's). They didn't have Blizzards then on the menu.

Jessi I absolutely love these videos. Alessio is a good sport. And you two are a wonderful amazing couple.

You guys are the best....so genuine and hilarious and so much fun to watch! You have such a great rapport!

Oh man the artisan place close to us does an amazing brown butter ice cream, I wish you had tried that! ❤

The reason why Dairy Queen hands Blizzards to you upside down is because they’re supposed to be thick and well blended. If the Blizzard plops out or they forget to hold it upside down you receive a Blizzard for free.

@@dianemcgee2381 I had a friend in high school that worked at a Dairy Queen. They had to turn them upside down before giving them the treat. There is a sign on the takeout window that states the Blizzard is free if it isn’t held upside down. My friend gained weight there because of eating so many Blizzards. She admitted she purposely messed some orders up so she could eat them. She hated the machine because it was messy while blending especially if people added in extra items. Cleaning the machine was a pain too. I love Blizzards but they’re so expensive now.

You two are absolutely adorable... have you thought of visiting the Italy pavilion at Disney's Epcot!? I volunteer as private tour guide ;)

At DQ I always order a dip cone and my mom likes the orange Julius! I need to try a blizzard but I think it is partly nostalgia from when I was a kid! Makes it taste good from the good memories!

I’d like to promote those and show that the US does make worthwhile products that are available to a wide range of people, not just those willing to spend lots of money in high-end expensive grocery stores.

Gotta try the chocolate dipped cone or a loaded banana split!

I remember when DQ didn't even sell Blizzards. Seems like they didn't come out until the mid to late 1980s, and obviously they were a success. My mom, my brother and I used to go there and one would order the dilly bar, one would order the banana split, and one would order the peanut buster parfait and we'd all share, so we could each have some of them all. They used to sell things like vanilla coke, coke (or root beer floats) and their cherry limes were amazing. Haven't been there in about 4 or 5 years now, but you guys brought back some memories for me. 👍

Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia at the grocery store! Yum! 😊❤

I never go to Cold Stone.....it was started by Doug Ducey, who is the outgoing governor of AZ.

I love his reaction to the flip cup 😂

If you have a local dairy farm that makes ice cream try them out. In my part of Ohio we have Young's Dairy, they have the best ice cream. I used to like grocery store ice cream but they have changed the ingredients, it comes through in flavor and quality. Seems they are now using the cheapest ingredients to make expensive ice cream. I have not had blue bunny ice cream in a while but that was my favorite brand.

When I was little my mom would take us to the gelato place at the grocery store, I want to say the store was Harmons but I can’t remember. It was really good, to this day I think about that gelato. I’ve never been to Italy so I can’t compare.

For us as kids, Dairy Queen was the “bribe” my parents used so that we would behave on long family trips. But there was no Blizzard then. We always got a chocolate dipped cone. And the last bit of the cone was reserved for the dog. :-) The “Marble Slab” place seems like a knockoff of Cold Stone Creamery. Seems like they used artificial flavors (but I’ve never encountered it so what do I know?) I might have gone to Baskin Robbins for the mid-range tbh. If you ever visit Seattle, try Fainting Goat or Molly Moon. :-)

LOL, I was laughing too. Yes, it's better because it's gelato, not ice cream.

P.S. The Dairy Queen near my grandma refused to follow the "upside down" trick. They wouldn't turn it upside down, and it was never thick enough to do that. If I had tried, I would have had soft serve all over my counter. They always did their blizzards a bit soft, which I don't mind actually, as long as they're too melted already. And so long as I still have Oreo chunks that I can taste. Too blended and what's the point?

I dunno if someone responded already, but they tip them upside down because if the blizzard falls out or drips, you get one for free lol

Penso che qualsiasi gelato in vaschetta del reparto supermercato ovviamente industriale, sia sicuramente sempre migliore di quello Americano!

I was thinking, after seeing the title of the video, that maybe you can do one featuring ice cream that was either lo-cal or sugar free. Some of us, who are diabetic, definitely have problems in finding good quality low sugar/sugar free ice cream. For my money, it sounds like the artisan/small regional are the way to go for gourmet ice cream.👌

Turkeyhill Farms makes a great pistachio and almond ice cream. It has pieces of almonds and pistachios in it

I get Italian homemade gelato when I go to Mississippi. It’s amazing!!!

Italy provides the best gelato in the world and Aotearoa New Zealand provides the best ice cream in the world. There is nothing in the rest of the world that can beat them.

Butterfinger or snickers blizzard. Rumor is, if they don’t flip it, it’s free.

I wonder what your thoughts would be on the same level of ice cream, but from different stores. For example: Dairy Queen vs. McDonalds.

XD the second ice cream got so much smack talk from him~

I remember when you could go to Walgreens and get a cone for 50 cents for two scoops. I love rocky road and carmel with heath candy and I go to the grocery store.

When I go to Dairy Queen, I order a small vanilla crinkle coat cone. It's my fave.

Ice cream is a number one seller in Minnesota and Alaska during the winter. Lol I agree store-bought is a better value and definitely a better taste, but I understand wanting to go outside and share with your loved one. I think as a couple you should try the hot chocolate at serendipity in Manhattan, it’s a restaurant that’s a little pompous but the experience is Iconic, I think you will enjoy

I love them all! They’re all so different and I have faves at every level! Gelato beats them all though 😊😊

The best ice cream I ever had was on a cruise ship and it was cinnamon flavour. Nothing however, beats the incredible gelato I had at a little shop in Sicily. ❤

Cold Stone Creamery is the best ice cream place.

Alessio was so funny turning his ice cream upside-down. You guys should try some different types of boba/bubble tea. I like the popping boba best.

Best American ice cream, whether or not you are vegan, is SoDelicious cashew milk salted caramel cluster. Leave it out for a few minutes until it gets a little bit melty.

The "She lie" always cracks me up! 😂 I just came across a green nail polish named Pistachio and realized I now pronounce it like Alessio from watching your videos. If Jessie needs it, it's Dazzle Dry brand. Lol ❤

You should take him to a Baskin Robbins. He should also try an ice cream cake.

Went to a marble slab creamery a few years ago and got the cotton candy to share with my kiddo. Big mistake lol. There's a reason why you shouldn't eat toxic dyed food 😂. I did hesitate a little since it was soo blue and I should've listened to instinct. My two year old had the runs and it was dark green and foul smelling.

I'm still laughing about the big piece of ice Jessi had. Her face and his face was hilarious for the reaction 😂😂

Now you need to do sherbet vs. sorbet and American gelato vs Italian gelato!!

The best gelato in the world is in San Gimignano, Italy!!

I used to work at DQ when I was a student through work and travel student program and there were no so tiny portions of ice cream and I was never told to flip the blizzards)))) so cool to know this now after almost twenty years)))))))

Ice cream is one of the things I will not tip for, nor should anyone else. Why should you get a tip, when you didn't actually do anything to earn the tip. This growing trend of requesting a tip, for basic service is despicable. Tips are for places where waitstaff actually comes to your table, and provide service, not where you walk up to the counter to place an order.

what Alessio said about the 'ice cream' ..... LOL

I’m still a Dairy Queen fan. I grew up going to the one on University Blvd near the overpass, by the train yard. When I moved to Tallahassee in 1989, there weren’t any there then, before we moved in2010, they had some. Hagen Daz Swiss vanilla almond is my favorite. There used to be Swenson’s, Regency had one (so it was a long time ago), and there was one on San Jose. Cold stone is good. Many moons ago when I was a little girl, Jacksonville had Dipper Dans. It was a local chain. There was one in Arlington and I think Lakewood.

Quel "fa cacare" così all'improvviso m'ha fatto spisciare! 😄😄😄😄

The Butterfinger Blizzard was my go to, when I had them. I remember when they were first introduced in the late '80's, as a kid. The last time I had one, though, was probably 8 years ago, and it was disappointing (not flavor, but consistency). It was milkshake thick, not Blizzard thick. Dairy Queen is not really common here (Nor-Cal), as there are a few around, but none of them close enough to validate the trip, so going to a different location is not really viable. Haven't been back, since.
