What’s sour then sweet, and cool and creamy? The DQ brand’s new Sour Patch Kids Blizzard Treat, available at participating DQ locations nationwide through July—National Ice Cream Month.
The Sour Patch Kids Blizzard Treat features Sour Patch Kids Bitz blended with Sour Patch Kids Redberry flavored soft serve to deliver a multi-sensory treat with a fun-and-mischievous spirit.
“Our Sour Patch Kids Blizzard Treat dazzles your eyes with vibrant colors and tantalizes your taste buds with sour-then-sweet flavor. It’s the ultimate way to beat the heat and a perfect addition to our Summer Blizzard Treat Menu,” says Maria Hokanson, Executive Vice President of Marketing at American Dairy Queen Corporation.
The DQ system is the first national quick-serve chain to offer a Sour Patch Kids Bitz product, tapping into the energy and vibrancy of the number one sour confection brand. To celebrate the launch, ADQ created ‘DQ Spoon-A-Pult,’ an interactive, mobile-first game where players can use the iconic DQ red spoon to catapult mischievous Sour Patch Kids characters into their new favorite Blizzard Treat. The game is available through @DairyQueen Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages, or on mobile devices by visiting dqspoonapult.com.
All Blizzard Treats are made to order and are so thick that they’re served upside down or the next one’s free, at participating U.S. locations.
