The Twelve Tribes of Blizzrael

Tonight I continued my banana theme with an Oreo and banana combination.  This was a great ABC, and I think it would be an excellent entry-level option for those who are looking for an introduction.  While there were some solid Oreo chunks in there, this ABC did suffer from some sub-par mixing (they were incredibly busy at the Old Saybrook DQ tonight so I won't hold it against them), and I would have liked a more even banana/Oreo ratio. 

Another big development is that I went for a mini size instead of my usual small.  This was my first experience with the mini and I think I'll stick with it.  Maybe if I'm really hungry I'll get two separate minis to try to different ABCs in one outing.

Thin Blizzy

I made the mistake of going against Blizzard Wizard's recommendation and got this Blizzard at the Westbrook DQ.  While this combination certainly has some potential, the ingredient ratios were way off and it was poorly mixed.  That one Oreo piece you see in the picture was full the extent of any chunks present in this BC.  (I can't call it an ABC as it was far from astounding).  It was basically vanilla ice cream with Oreo and Butterfinger dust mixed in.  It was as if the DQ crew had a feast of Oreos and Butterfingers in the back room and then swept the crumbs that were left on the floor into my Blizzard.  I can never complain about eating ice cream, but this was not a satisfying experience.
