Food Court Survival: Part III
The mall is almost unavoidable during the holidays and something about all that running around and waiting in lines that makes me hungry. What's worse? Not only am I hungry but I also know there is a place where food is so easily accessible.
Dairy Queen Breakdown
I think Dairy Queen's tag line is Do Something Different because they want us to go against the healthy eating and just blow it all at their fine establishment. Don't get me wrong, I had my fair share of Blizzards in college however after learning the nutritional information, I am not sure a Blizzard will ever cross these lips again. So next time you're doing something different, make sure you go informed with this nutritional breakdown.

Craving a Banana Split? Try This Instead
I believe in the occasional frozen treat, but just because a banana split contains a serving of fruit doesn't mean it is good for you. At Dairy Queen, a banana split will cost you 530 calories and Baskin Robbins' version is nearly double that calorie count. Yikes.

Fast Food Breakdown: French Fries
What is it about french fries that makes us crave them so? Is it the saltiness? The crispy outside and soft, warm inside?
Create Your Own Valentine's "Slow Jam"
I didn't even know Dairy Queen was still around, but I think their "Create Your Own Valentine's Slow Jam" gimmick will put them back on the map.
All you have to do is choose a voice, a favorite Dairy Queen cake (you know you have one!), a slow jam, and a mood. The result will be the most surreal Valentine's anyone you know has ever received: Gigantic Red lips will sing the slow jam while some guy on an exercise bike seems to be DJ-ing.
