It’s a marketing gimmick, that’s all, don’t think too much on it. If you do want to think too much on it, it’s probably also a quality control proof. If your item doesn’t pass this test then it obviously wasn’t made correctly. Think of it like sailors testing the proof of alcohol to ensure it meet an agreed upon strength. If your DQ Blizzard dumps out all over the counter then it probably wasn’t made correctly.
But milkshakes are better when they’re thin and runny, because it makes it a lot easier to drink them through a straw. Now I know why Dairy Queen does that but I don’t understand why anyone would want a thick milkshake. I want to be able to drink mine, not eat it with a spoon.
it’s not a milkshake it’s ice cream with candy mixed in to order. it’s served with a spoon in a cup so you can get in a drive through and store it in a cup holder.
They have a machine that mixes it. Like McDonalds is supposed to have for their McFlurries (which are either always broken or the employees are too lazy to use)
It’s happened so long in my life that I’m mostly unfazed. The ice cream is thick and the cup they use holds it well to the sides so it can stay upside down (unless the machine mixed it wrong, but I’ve never seen it fall) for a few seconds before any real budging.
It almost fell out on me once. I think the ice cream in the machine was still fresh so it was still a bit too soft. The employee caught it in time and flipped it back up before it spilled out.
Did you do the evil thing and insist that, because it fell down, it was free per the advertisements conditions?
I can never bring myself to call out the fast food worker on a policy like that, like the McDonald’s ‘window to food in 30 seconds’ nonsense they pull out sometimes or the ‘if we didn’t ask you about wanting fries, get free French fries’ shit. Don’t make customers into inspectors/watch dogs.
As much as I was tempted to demand a replacement, I didn’t want to make the person’s (likely) already miserable work day even worse, so I just laughed it off and took it. They’re just trying to make a living.
That’s fucking horrifying
Why?

Because why would you do that? Do you also have a chain store where servers pour sulphuric acid over your cup to show that it doesn’t melt?
Wait until you’ve been to a restaurant that serves things flambé.
They do it because a lot of milkshakes are made so thin and runny, or it sits on the counter for a few minutes and melts before getting to you.
Doing the flip shows that it’s fresh, still cold, and thick.

then you would order a milkshake and not a blizzard

Yes, that’s totally the same thing 😂
To show its thickness.
You’re not too bright, eh?
That’s Dairy Queen!
Yo dawg, we put chili in your ice cream cake so it’ll stay frosty.
…how?

Still don’t like it, though
