I know another fact….
The DQ in Sylvester will be the CLEANEST and will have the BEST tasting food of ANY DQ you walk into! Period! Hands down the best!!!!!
Didn’t know any of that but why would it affect if I go there or not…DQ was my first job and what WOULD affect it is that little drip bucket under the ice cream spout used to sit all day and get re strained back into the machine…that was 45 years ago so hopefully that doesn’t happen anymore!
What is wrong with you? Every company has a history. What is wrong with DQ history? It has been celebrated many years. It has been told on Facebook several times. I worked and am proud to have worked for the Noble’s.
I didn’t find anything shocking or anything that hadn’t been published before. I have to wonder about the writer’s statement about not wanting to patronized DQ after reading that stuff. I don’t think I’ll be reading anything more from Recipe Station.
Didn’t really need to know these 5 things.
I have to wonder about the accuracy of anythign written and published by someone who doesn’t know the difference btween “their” and “there”. I am not critical of individuals, but if you are writing for the public, and you don’t know the difference, get yourself an editor!
What is the “secret” they are keeping?
And this information was important? Nah.
I found nothing shocking or interesting in this article. Waste of space.
none of those shocked me at all
