Dairy Queen is celebrating its 80 years of existence with the Piñata Party Blizzard.

It features confetti frosting, cake pieces, and cake batter confetti stars blended into DQ’s vanilla soft serve. The treat is also finished with whipped topping and edible glitter.

I’m surprised DQ didn’t top the Blizzard with one of its Buster Bars that could represent the stick or bat used to swing at a pinata. I’m also disappointed DQ didn’t include it because I like it when the chain tops a Blizzard with a frozen novelty.

The Piñata Party Blizzard is available for a very limited time at participating DQ locations.

Good news!

Arby’s is now offering Sweet Potato Waffle Fries!

Bad news.

Arby’s is offering those Sweet Potato Waffle Fries for a limited time at select locations nationwide. So it won’t be so sweet for those of you who don’t live near one of those select locations. Instead, you’ll have to settle for Arby’s Curly Fries or Potato Cakes, both made with non-sweet potatoes.

A medium order of those Sweet Potato Waffle Fries has 430 calories, 23 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 180 milligrams of sodium, 53 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, 20 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.

If you happen to live near one of the select locations and try them, let us know how they are in the comments.
