All season long, DQ will engage baseball fans and players around its iconic summer offerings. In celebration of the beloved DQ Summer Blizzard Treat Menu tradition and the Blizzard Treat’s debut back in 1985, DQ will offer fans a small Blizzard Treat for $0.85, only available in the DQ mobile app from April 10-23*. ADQ is planning to air national advertising during MLB game broadcasts and across cable and streaming networks. Additionally, DQ restaurants nationwide will offer Blizzard Treat and beverage cups with a special MLB theme.
