After seeing the ad for a pumpkin pie shake, my girlfriend mentioned she wanted one. I figured that a Pumpkin Pie flavored Blizzard would be ideal during the month of November, which is the month of Thanksgiving in the United States. I took her to our local Dairy Queen, which is a 22 minute drive away. We get there to find that the flavor of the month is now CHOCOLATE CHIP?
Pumpkin Pie is OK for October but not November? No one that I know eats PUMPKIN PIE for HALLOWEEN. This HAS GOT to be one of the WORST marketing plans. EVER.
When we mention this to the manager, we are told that it was a corporate decision, AND they mentioned that you're getting rid of the peppermint shake?
This is tragic, simply tragic. Why is Dairy Queen attempting to ruin America one flavor at a time? What is your next plan, getting rid of anything similar to APPLE PIE? Bring Back Pumpkin Pie Blizzards for Thanksgiving! FACEBOOK and Twitter will be enjoying this rant.
Ok, it's a bit melodramatic, but let's see what their response is.
