St. Patrick\u2019s Day is almost upon us which means enough mint-flavored products to choke a leprechaun.<\/p>\n
Case in point, Dairy Queen\u2019s Mint Oreo Blizzard is the returning flavor of the month for March. Oreo cookies and creme de menthe mint topping are blended with vanilla soft serve. <\/p>\n
Mind you, I can find no evidence that mint has anything to do with the Emerald Isle or its icons like St. Patrick Star or Lucky the Leprechaun. Maybe I don\u2019t have the firmest grasp on my Irish ancestry either. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Despite the description, I could not detect even a hint of the \u201ccreme de menthe\u201d part of the mint topping. Given that the Mint Oreo Blizzard has been described as \u201ccool mint\u201d in past years, I suspect this is a marketing change only \u2014 reinforced by conflicting advertising \u2014 but I cannot be certain as I have not tried this previously.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the change is due to the mint flavor being decidedly not cool. It\u2019s not so uncool as to be caught hanging out with me playing Magic: The Gathering after chess club in high school. More like, this mint was voted most likely to have a white picket fence and 2.5 kids. It\u2019s a consistently mellow companion that enhances the vanilla base, but it doesn\u2019t ever truly excite the taste buds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Oreo cookie pieces range from tiny bits to reasonably sized chunks that pair as well with the reserved ice cream base as they do with most things…except for Swedish Fish.<\/p>\n
Seriously, Nabisco, even Dr. Moreau would have been too squeamish to pull the trigger on that abomination. <\/p>\n
Bottom line, this is a regular Oreo Blizzard with a mild mint-flavored base. There\u2019s nothing to complain about here, but it also won\u2019t leave you dancing a jaunty jig either.<\/p>\n
