AN ICE CREAM INJUSTICE

I was having a good day on Wednesday until I ordered my 19th free Blizzard at Dairy Queen.  I was told I wasn't allowed to order the Royal New York Cheesecake because my DQ VIP card is only for regular Blizzards.  Never mind I had previously ordered the 3 other Royals.  Also of note... I had my sister examine my so-called DQ VIP card and nowhere is it written: excludes Royal Blizzards.


The Royal New York Cheesecake was to be my final menu-listed Blizzard.  It was also going to be an extra special treat to celebrate achieving my first New Year's Revolution goal. Disappointment threatened to overwhelm me, but the feeling of accomplishment over The JLH Collective kept my emotions above water.  Yet, this moment of restriction melted my excitement over this Blizzard Bonanza.

This is why I'm ending my series of Blizzard blogposts.  I can no longer allow my ice cream words to be free advertising for a company with questionable definitions of VIP and customer service.  I may still collect the remaining free Blizzards as restitution for this ice cream injustice, but I will no longer blog, post or tweet about them.  

Much like other decisions I've made this year, ending these often fun ice cream posts was a difficult one.  These posts have inspired me to blog more frequently and for that I'm grateful, but I'd feel dishonest if I tried to happily continue reviewing flavors if I can't even try them all.

I am sorry to any reader out there who has been enjoying my ice cream words.  Thank you for your support and I'm sure there will be other tales to tell. 

Freak Out, 
JLH
