The all-new blizzard flavor has everything you'd expect -- gooey brown sugar pie pieces, crunchy pecans, a creamy caramel, a whipped topping and Dairy Queen's signature soft serve.

By 1983, Temperato proposed the idea of a frozen treat made with super-thick soft serve, throwing in bits of fruit and candy to compliment the product. Using a phrase Dairy Queen had trademarked in the 1950's, the Blizzard would eventually make its debut in 1985, selling 100 million units in its first year alone.

Reminiscent of a fall dessert staple, the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard combines real pumpkin pie pieces and vanilla soft serve. The frozen treat is then topped with whipped cream and a dash of nutmeg.

You may not have ever noticed, but Dairy Queen doesn't call its Blizzards ice cream. That's because they can't! According to the FDA, a product must contain at least 10 percent butterfat or milkfat to be called ice cream, and DQ's soft serve only has 5 percent - hence why it's always referred to as a Blizzard “treat.”

A popular Dairy Queen item is the Blizzard, which is soft-serve mechanically blended with mix-in ingredients such as sundae toppings and/or pieces of cookies, brownies, or candy. It has been a staple on the menu since its introduction in 1985, a year in which Dairy Queen sold more than 100 million Blizzards.

Blizzards can bring whiteout conditions, and can paralyze regions for days at a time, particularly where snowfall is unusual or rare. A severe blizzard has winds over 72 km/h (45 mph), near zero visibility, and temperatures of −12 °C (10 °F) or lower.

The National Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm with large amounts of snow or blowing snow, winds greater than 35 mph (56 kph), and visibility of less than ¼ mile (0.4 km) for at least three hours.

Developed in 1918 by DeMet's Candy Company, these delectable bites were made of pecan pieces that were coated in caramel and then enveloped inside a glob of gourmet chocolate. And why were they called turtles? Because they actually looked like turtles with a large, chocolate covered shell.
