You May Attend a Party Where Strange Customs Prevail II

Tomorrow Allison, Eva and I are attending the birthday party of our good friend’s son Matty. Matty is turning 1 year old. At first when I got this repeat fortune for today’s FortunateBluFrog fortune I was disappointed. I am not a fan of getting repeat fortunes but I guess if you open up one every day then you are bound to get repeats. I would have thought I’d have gotten more variety in the 3 dozen cookies I bought. However, This weekend I should have some brand new ones because the ones at home are from another batch.

Okay, back to the 1 year old’s birthday party. A birthday party for a kid that small is strange. We had one for Eva and will have one for all future kids of course. However, at 1 a kid’s birthday party is really one for the parents and the people who attend. There certainly are great customs like that 1st piece of cake.

For Eva her 1st cupcake was a huge deal, I video taped it and it was so cute. She made a huge mess and loved it. It wasn’t as epic as her 1st ice cream from Dairy Queen however. Now that, that was epic. (BTW We didn’t win the Dairy Queen Sweet Deals contest.) The winner was a someone with a creative letter to Dairy Queen. I thought that cute kid would trump all. I was wrong, DQ likes letters instead, wacky pun filled letters.

Apparently today is tangent day. I’m off all over the place. Anyway the point is that birthday parties for small kids have strange customs, birthday parties for pets are even stranger. However, any excuse for a party is a good one.

Contest, Family

Sweet Deals from Dairy Queen

I just love watching this kid have such a great time. The 1st trip to Dairy Queen was such a fun time! I hope she has great memories of Dairy Queen as I do.

All mine
Eva’s 1st Dairy Queen ice cream cone.

I’ve been a fan of Dairy Queen ever since I was in Little League and after every game, win or lose the team would go for ice cream cones or DQ specialty items like Dilly Bars. I imagine that this would get expensive for our coaches but they were great and continued to take us after every game. My absolute favorite thing at Dairy Queen is Crunch Coat. Crunch Coat is basically an awesome, crunchy, nutty, rainbow-sprinkled ice cream topping. It is the best topping to a cone ever. Sort of a peanut brittle and jimmies, shots, sprinkles (depending upon region of the US) combination that I would always get on my cone. Most kids went for the cherry dip or chocolate dip cone. Not me, it was twist with Crunch Coat all the way!

I want the big one!
Eva wants Crunch coat.

Dairy Queen has just announced their first-ever permanent value-menu. It is called DQ® Sweet Deals.

What is so sweet about this deal. Well, you can mix and match from nine menu items. You can choose two items for $3, three for $4 or four for $5. The options work out to over 20,000 incredible taste combinations.

Here are the nine tasty items: Dairy Queen® cheeseburger, classic all-beef hot dog, new chicken wrap, yummy French fries, crispy onion rings, fresh salad, beverage and an irresistible sundae or cone made with the signature DQ soft serve with the curl on top.

This stuff is GREAT!

How did I learn about this? I saw it on the Dairy Queen Blog. Yes, that delicious DQ ice cream has a blog. I learned about it too late because all the gift cards have been given out. Sheesh, late to the tasty table.

However, the Dairy Queen Blog is still offering a great prize for the best blog post. Well once they see Eva enjoying her 1st Dairy Queen dipped cone then they need to pick this post. Because this kids really loves her Dairy Queen.
