Mmmm, Tastes Like America
Sno-balls in sweaty New Orleans. Fudge cake on the Outer Banks. Spicy fruit on a Los Angeles street corner. This is what an American summer tastes like.

The Blizzard was an instant hit when Dairy Queen introduced it in 1985. “Dairy Queen’s Blizzard Is Hot,” The New York Times reported the next year, crediting the delicacy with boosting the company’s stock price and sales of mix-ins, like Heath bars.
