An ice cream cone is good, but a dipped ice cream cone \u2013 now that\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about. I had an ice cream cone yesterday, and while I didn\u2019t explicitly think at the time that it\u2019d be better with a chocolate shell coating it (I was too busy, y\u2019know, eating the ice cream), in retrospect\u2026I missed a trick there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hey, I still enjoyed it. But I would have enjoyed it more if it were a dollar (and with said chocolate shell). So, safe to say that Dairy Queen\u2019s current $1 dipped cone deal, which runs until Sunday, has piqued my interest. Here\u2019s the lowdown.<\/p>\n
$1 Dipped Cones Until Sunday<\/p>\n
This deal has come courtesy of @snackolator<\/a> and The Freebie Guy<\/a>, who alerted us to its presence in the Dairy Queen app. From now through May 31, if you go into the app and tap the Deals section, you should see an offer for a $1 Small Dipped Cone, in any flavor. You then just have to give the coupon in-store at checkout.<\/p>\n Given that a Small Dipped Cone from Dairy Queen can run at around the $4 mark (with a bit of movement on either side of that number), this is a fairly significant saving. Just bear in mind, though, that the coupon only seems to become available for use 24 hours after you redeem it\u2026which is slightly annoying if you want one then and there. Might be worth thinking ahead on that one.\u00a0<\/p>\n Breakfast Sweepstakes<\/p>\n This $1 Dipped Cone deal isn\u2019t the only thing that DQ\u2019s offering through its app at the moment. A slightly higher-profile prize (which has, admittedly, a significantly slimmer chance of success) is a $1,000 gift card that you can spend on Dairy Queen breakfast for a full year, courtesy of its current Breakfast Break Sweepstakes<\/a>. To enter, you need the app \u2013 of course, as everything requires an app these days \u2013 through which you can play a mini-game. Upon completion of the game, you\u2019re entered into the sweepstakes, and you can play it again every day to win instant prizes and unlock rewards.<\/p>\n Again, though, this sweepstakes only runs through May 31, so if you\u2019re hankering for a short game that might lead to fast food-based prizes, now\u2019s your chance. And if you\u2019ve been waiting for your opportunity to try its Cinnamon Toast Crunch Dipped Cone, which was finally released in March<\/a> after months of build-up, then the moment is here.<\/p>\n \t
