Was it a trip to Dairy Queen as a child? Or was it from last week? Who were you with? Why was it special or memorable?

My most recent trip to dairy queen stank...I stood in line and got skipped twice. Not becacuse the customers were jerks but because the idiot clerk forgot to pay attention. My childhood memory actually is of Carvel. My grandparents always used to take me to Carvel to get a sudae when I was a kid. :)

Ahhh.... 50's music... sock hops! Taking over all the booths and sharing burgers and root beer floats while the jukebox blasted doo-wop music. Jitterbugging with the captain of the football team in between stealing the cherries off everyone's ice cream sundaes.
This was in the early 70's, mind you (I'm not THAT old)... but I was in high school and we just loved to have "retro" 50's dances... swing music, jitterbug, poofy beehive hairdo's, poodle skirts, saddle shoes and bobby socks. And the pre-dance gathering place for our crowd was always Rick's Dairy Freeze (a DQ affiliate back when they weren't all exactly the same), which had been open in our home town since the 1950's. The place was a bit run down 20 years later, but old Rick was still working the soda fountain, and when he saw us coming in our 50's clothes for Friday night sock hops he would get all choked up and run and get the camera, and then keep putting quarters in the jukebox to play 50's music for us it was time to head over to the gym for the dance. Then we would put a caravan of cars together and have chinese fire drills all the way down the street from Rick's Dairy Freeze to the high school.
So much fun.... was life every really that simple? Haven't been back in over 20 years now... I wonder if Rick's Dairy Freeze is still there? ;-)

When I was younger we would go to Texas to visit my father for the summer. I can remember the Dairy Queen "mascot or spokes persom" was Dennis the Menace. They had a chicken sandwich that was to die for. My dad was famous for his ability to pinch a penny as far as it would go, so for him to take us out for fast food was in it self a big deal. This is a good memory I'm having it has been there all this time just waiting to be called upon, thanks. The visit wasn't recent.

I remember that we had a Dairy Queen a couple of blocks from our home. One day my step dad told us to hop in the car we were going to DQ for an Ice Cream!!! YAY!! We hoped in and he backed out of the driveway and into the street and......kept going.....IN REVERSE....All the way to Dairy Queen. It was backroads, but it was still crazy, but I remember that night to this day over 20 years later!!!!

When I was a kid, our local pool was next to a Dairy Queen. My mom would drop us off and we'd walk home ( we didn't live that far) On the way home we'd stop and get Dilly bars. It is a good memory of my brother,sister and me. Those were the carefree days of summertime as a kid.

back as a teenager we used to party at this jam room that a friends band used to practice at. down the road was a dairy queen and we would eventually get the munchies and head down there..
SO-- that was the summer of finding out that ice cream and beer DO NOT mix!

I just get a kick out of all the little leaguers that stop in after their ballgames. You can always tell the winning team. They scramble around the place joking and laughing, and the parents try to keep track of them. Once in a while there will be a whiner. "I want a banana split" "No, I already told you you can't have one" Do you want me to get your father?" It is always better to get there before the games are over or right before it closes because of the chaos

In my home town DQ had a $.99 special every week that was one of their ice cream treats. When I got old enough to drive I would walk in the den about once or twice a week and dad would say "what's the special this week?" If I knew I'd tell him, if I didn't "I'd say does it matter? " and off to DQ I went to get us ice cream. Whatever the special was.......

My Grandparents live in Mexico Missouri (I know)! They had one there and on visits to see them, we would go for breakfast and desert. Everyone knew my grandparents, since Mexico is so small. So when we walked into the store everyone knew right away who we were and everything about us. Not to mention how good the food was would be a crime. It gives me warm feelings just typing this. Wow, small town love, gotta love it!
I'm gonna go call Grandma!
