Ask Lemmy

I can’t tell what size blizzard this is thanks to the short cup, they’re usually taller. (Where I am in the US) They’re $4.99 or so for a medium, that’s my best guess. 20 miles round trip for the further “better” blizzard, 40 minutes in the car at that distance means city/town driving, so I’ll guess 18mpg. Extra gallon of gas for that round trip is gonna be ~$3+ USD unless you’re in California, and then it’s probably $4.25 or so.

Your best bet is to not waste gas, time, and wear on the car and order the next size up if your gas is $3-ish, or maybe order two if you’re in California.

No, I would not drive further.

I'd probably just buy the next size up at the closer store if I wanted that much. I usually buy the smallest size & end up throwing about 1/4 of it away.

Still, when I go for ice cream(*), I'm going because it's a treat. Getting one overstuffed like the one on the right would certainly trigger more dopamine.

So, I guess it's a coin flip depending whether or not it's a nice day for a drive.

How often do you get ice cream?

Nah I'd just buy none and find something better closer. Or if I was desperate buy two of the shit one.

How often are you buying blizzards?

20 minutes each way? No. 20 minutes total? Yes. Though, not if I'm working. I'm not getting off later just to get some ice cream.

What is a DQ? Either way no I wouldn't drive for any of them.

Nope.

For overpriced aerated ice cream? Just go to the local supermarket and get some good ice cream. It's cheaper it'll taste better.

No? I got an ice caffee basicly at every corner

Without a doubt yes. Why? Because I bet the customer service and wait time at the 2nd one is better.

I’m too damn grumpy for that.

Nah, for the obvious gas reasons. Now, is it was a Foster Freeze... still nah, but I'd certainly consider it if I had other business in that town and could get a Boss burger alongside it.

Ten years ago? Maybe. Not regularly but as a treat. I might talk with the manager about my concerns. Might even take it to corporate if I'm still unhappy. If I still don't like it, then I would just probably go without instead of exerting extra effort.

Now? No way. I'm so fed up with companies giving us less for more, I participate as little as I possibly can.

No. For starters I'm a metric kind of guy. Secondly I'm not that into blizzards.

I have to drive an hour to even get the blizzard on the left :(

honestly, why would anyone pay for a blizzard, when the only thing they do to it is mix candy with ice cream in a blender? you do that yourselves.
