\"Dairy<\/p>\n

What is the Dairy Queen Oreo Mocha Fudge Blizzard?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s proof that the marketing department at Dairy Queen is lazy! OK, maybe they are not lazy, and I\u2019m sure they have lots of other important work keeping them busy. But the Oreo Mocha Fudge Blizzard was part of the fall Blizzard menu announced back in early September (which, by the way, was still summer), and now the same flavor is the Blizzard of the Month for October. The DQ website even proclaims it to be \u201cnew.\u201d This new-ish Blizzard features Oreo cookies, choco chunks, and coffee. <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Let me preface this review by saying I\u2019m not a coffee drinker, and I think I\u2019ve only had it maybe five times in my life. With that said, it\u2019s not that I dislike the taste of coffee but rather that I view it simply as a vehicle to get caffeine into my bloodstream. As a kid, my preferred vehicle (besides the Ferrari poster on my wall) was Mountain Dew, then Red Bull and Monster, and now just any of the 217 varieties of energy drinks at the convenience store will do the trick for me. So I\u2019ve never really felt the need to drink coffee, and being one who spills drinks with great regularity, I\u2019ve found it better not to mess with liquids that are hot and\/or brown. I trust your enjoyment of this Blizzard will partly depend on whether you like coffee, but I was a bit surprised how much I enjoyed this considering my coffee indifference. <\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

The coffee taste is rather mild and subdued, and if you get enough Oreo cookies and chocolate in a spoonful, you might forget the coffee flavor is even there. Oreo and choco chunks are two Blizzard staples that have appeared many times over the years, along with various sugary friends and for a good reason.<\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

The big Oreo pieces are always tasty, especially when you get one with some cr\u00e8me filling still attached, and I love the way the magical Oreo dust gets mixed in throughout the Blizzard. And the choco chunks deliver an extra dose of chocolatey goodness throughout. The coffee flavor is just enough to make this version different, but not so much that it overpowers the chocolate flavors. It\u2019s like the coffee knows that he or she is not the star of the show and is happy to play a supporting role.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

This Blizzard does not contain coffee straight from the pot but instead has coffee concentrate, which includes ingredients that I can neither pronounce nor define, like polydimethylsiloxane. According to Wikipedia, my one-stop-shop for all research, polydimethylsiloxane is the \u201cmost widely used silicon-based organic polymer due to its versatility and properties leading to a manifold of applications.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

Now that I have cleared that up for you, I researched whether this Blizzard might have any caffeine. After minutes more of research, my answer is that it probably has little, if any, but I don\u2019t really know. Judging by the mild coffee taste, I don\u2019t think too much coffee concentrate is used, so I had to drink a can of Lightning Tornado Laser Super Turbo Energy Drink that I picked up at 7-Eleven to finish this review. <\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

In general, I think there are three types of Blizzard: ones that are just OK (with ice cream and candy\/cookies\/brownies a Blizzard can never truly be bad), ones that are solidly good, and then a handful that truly stand out, like the long-gone-but-not-forgotten Nerds Blizzard. <\/p>\n

This one falls into the middle category. It\u2019s not worth dropping what you are doing to head to DQ (especially since it will likely still be around in November as part of the fall menu). But it\u2019s certainly worth ordering one the next time you visit.<\/p>\n
