To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Dairy Queen is offering for a limited time it Zero Gravity Blizzard.
The treat features Oreo cookie pieces and cotton candy topping blended with vanilla soft serve and is topped with space-inspired irreverent blue and black swirls and galaxy sprinkles. It’s available at participating location.

Finally got a chance to try it. The oreo and cotton candy bits are a good combo that reminds me of the fireworks blizzard from last year (I saw that it’s poster was on the back, undisplayed side of the A frame at my local DQ, so it will probably be returning for July/once the galaxy blizzard is done). Unfortunately, it was made with all the talent picked fresh the local high school for summer jobs, so all the syrup and sprinkles were just pooled on top and drooling over the side, nothing like the photo, but it looked super cute once I mixed it in myself. Normally, photo ready treats like this 1) sell out super fast and 2) don’t taste nearly as good as they look, but this had a nice, sparkly berry-oreo kind of flavor and wasn’t even close to sold out in my area.
Just a head up to anyone else looking to get this thing: It looks like they are charging it as a royale blizzard (despite not being filled) and as such, it can’t be added to combos as an upgrade, only a separate order. Don’t quote me 100% on that though, since the cashier was also a high schooler and screwed up every other part of my ticket, but also don’t be surprised if you find that that is the case at your local DQ.
