Low Calories...I Don't Think So !


You are looking at what is left of my Coke Float.

It all started with my trip to town, on Saturday, to photograph the Railroad Depot Museum.


As I sat in my truck, parked by the museum, I looked across the parking space and saw the Dairy Queen sign. The longer I sat, waiting for the museum to open, the louder the Dairy Queen sign called out to me....."Lunch, lunch, LUNCH!









They make it so easy with a drive-up window. If you have one in your town, you know what I mean. Well...that's my story and I'm sticking to it !












You may be familiar with the Dairy Queen, because in 2008, there were over 5,700 locations, in 19 countries.  What is the slogan, on the bag, in your town?


Having a light breakfast Saturday morning, I decided to splurge and have a DQ Dude Burger....French Fries, of course....and top it off with a Coke Float. If you are not familiar with a float, it is Coke poured over a generous helping of  Soft Serve ice cream, made in the store.

Trust me when I say, "Calories should not be counted when eating here" ! And, yes, I did eat it in my truck as I was waiting.











Temptation is everywhere !












Looks like I wasn't the only one, tempted to have lunch, at the Dairy Queen....

  1. We actually are lucky enough to have a Dairy Queen here in Redmond, WA. My weakness is the soft-serve ice cream and especially on warm days, I hear the gentle calling of my name to go through the drive-thru! LOL!!
    However, when we lived in Massachusetts, I was amazed that the Dairy Queens closed down from November to April. My daughter, Erin, bought me a soft-serve ice cream maker to get me through those months:-D
    Love your photos Meggie and I understand the temptation!

  2. We grabbed ice cream at DQ on Saturday. Their kid's cones are only 140 calories so you don't have to feel too bad about them!

    1. Hi Lisa...140 calories is not bad...it's the burger and fries that get you in trouble, but it was good! Thanks for signing on to my blog!

  6. We have a DQ in our small town and it is much too close! Hubby had the new Confetti Blizzard the other evening and said it was good. I had a Butterfinger Blizzard, my favorite. I'll have to look for the slogan next time, I haven't paid any attention to it before.
    Enjoy your week!

  7. DQ hasn't made it as far as my part of Worcestershire... Infact I'm not sure that there are any in England. Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of Coke Floats!!!! Jx

    1. Hi Jan...I did a google search and couldn't get an answer. I'm sure you have some place that is just as good for fast food!
