Blizzards are a standard at Dairy Queens throughout the nation, but one location is hanging on to old-school menu items from days past. In Moorhead, Minnesota, the local Dairy Queen still serves up treats like\u00a0Monkey Tails,\u00a0a simple combination of frozen bananas dipped in chocolate.\u00a0And that’s only one of the largely-discontinued Dairy Queen menu items<\/a>\u00a0available at this store. The franchise also offers\u00a0crunch-dipped cones, pecan mudslides, chipper sandwiches, and Mr. Malties (frozen chocolate malts served on sticks), among other treats.\u00a0<\/p>\n Opened in 1949, the Moorhead Dairy Queen is one of the oldest operating Dairy Queens. A still-honored\u00a0old contract means that some of these retro menu items have remained in the store while more recent corporate decisions have impacted newer locations. This\u00a0more lenient contract\u00a0means that the owners at Moorhead have more say over what stays on the menu and what ingredients are sourced.\u00a0Sundae toppings that are difficult to find at other locations \u2014 like marshmallow and cherry \u2013delight visitors, and\u00a0Buster Bars are made on-site.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n History has never tasted so sweet<\/p>\n The Moorhead Dairy Queen is actually the birthplace of the Dilly Bar. Frozen discs of soft serve ice cream have been hand-dipped in-house since the 1950s\u00a0and have that signature Dairy Queen soft serve curl<\/a> on the surface. A statue of\u00a0the world’s largest Dilly Bar is proudly displayed outside of the store. And not only is the location dishing out beloved cold treats, but customers craving something savory have Nathan’s hot dogs, Polish sausage, and chili cheese dogs to choose from.<\/p>\n
