\"Dairy<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always had a bone to pick with Dairy Queen in that it usually gives its Blizzards boring, unimaginative names, and most new flavors look the same with some shade of brown populated by chunks of a similar hue. But after the new Oreo Snowdrift Blizzard, I consider that bone to be sufficiently picked, whatever that means. And even better, this tastes as good\u2014or perhaps even better\u2014than it looks. I do have a smaller bone to pick with DQ, however, and that\u2019s the lack of proofreading that goes into their website, as the included screenshot from January 5 shows the wrong name for this Blizzard when you select the Mini size.<\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

But what really matters is how this thing tastes, and I can tell you it tastes wonderful and unlike any Blizzard I\u2019ve had. I know it\u2019s my job to describe to you what to expect when a spoonful hits your mouth, but this one is tricky. Obviously, it includes Oreo cookies, along with sky-blue cake batter (the same was used in the briefly available Superman Blizzard to promote the movie this past summer) and a marshmallow swirl.<\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

The cake batter is where I\u2019m going to struggle. My taste buds didn\u2019t get anything that had them thinking about batter, and yet they were still quite pleased. My best attempt to explain the flavor is somewhere between a sugar cookie and angel food cake. What makes this spectacular is the marshmallow swirl, which makes this taste how I imagine a sugar cookie-infused angel food cake would taste with marshmallow creme frosting. And then for an added bonus, there\u2019s the beautiful chocolate crunch and a bit more creme from the Oreos. It\u2019s really one of the best of the Blizzards I\u2019ve tasted.<\/p>\n

\"Dairy<\/p>\n

As an extra added bonus, you get to consume what I believe to be two of the best-named ingredients known to humankind. This includes something called \u201cBrilliant blue FCF,\u201d which sounds awesome until I learned it\u2019s derived from petroleum and is \u201cgenerally considered safe\u201d by the FDA as long as you don\u2019t exceed a certain amount per day. Luckily, I got a small Blizzard.<\/p>\n

The other component is called \u201cSuperman base\u201d on the DQ website. I was disappointed yet again because this has nothing to do with the Fortress of Solitude, where Superman hides out somewhere in the Arctic. Rather, it\u2019s something that, as far as I can tell, DQ just made up and consists of various sugars, flavors, and dyes, including the aforementioned Brilliant blue FCF. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s all fine.<\/p>\n

That minor concern about the ingredients notwithstanding, this one is definitely worth a trip to DQ, even if you do have to drive through a snowdrift or two.<\/p>\n
