Dairy Queen's menu is mostly soft serve ice cream, hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken. One of Dairy Queen's most popular items is the Blizzard. It was first made in 1985.[3] It is a cup of soft-serve mixed with different ingredients. They come in many different flavors. Sometime the server will flip the blizzard upside down to show how thick the treat is.[4]
On August 17, 1987, Dairy Queen bought the drink chain Orange Julius.[5]
