What’s the Dilly®? A Deal for Dairy Queen
Posted by breadwinner on March 1st, 2009
mmmmmm...creamy goodness.
ITE, free DQ for a year sounds pretty damn good...
In a pretty obvious push to get bloggers to dish about Dairy Queen, it seems the 60-year-old American fast food chain has come up with a proposal. Now y’all know ITE is all over free shit like TMZ on a hospitalized celebrity, so here’s the scoop: DQ is (finally) jumping on the value menu bandwagon, and they plan to let bloggers try some of their items out for free. In order to do so, we have been asked to suggest a “deal” we’d make with DQ in exchange for free fried or frozen delights. Blizzard®, anyone??
The first 250 bloggers to post about this promotion get a free gift card, and the most creative “deal” gets free DQ once a week for a year! And — like I even have to say it — in this economy, we could sure use some free foodstuffs. Especially food as delicious and amazing as that found at Dairy Queen*.
The aforementioned Dilly® Bar
Let’s get to the point. Here’s what we at In This Economy are prepared to offer: at least one mention of an item from the DQ menu in each post for one month. Be it Blizzard®, Grillburger or Chicken Strip Basket, we’ll toss one into our banter along with a link to the DQ site. Want more? Our very own Rondostar is prepared to tattoo a DQ logo onto his “tramp stamp” area for some of your sweet, sweet onion rings.
A DQ trampstamp
Well, in all honesty it’d probably be a temporary tattoo, but the effect is nearly the same. Personally, I’m willing to give up my dear habit of dining at all competing fast food chains for one month. No Taco Bell, no A&W, no McDonalds, no Sonic. Wow. And Drocolate? He’s committed to creating and performing a fancy new jingle for Dairy Queen’s new Sweet Deals menu on YouTube. And we’ll pledge to tweet about DQ items we eat during our (fingers crossed) year of free DQ.
So what do you say, DQ? If it’s press you want, you’ll get it with In This Economy.
*You guesed it— that’s pure, unadulterated suckup talk right there. Hey, can we get free Orange Julius® too?

If you win this, *I* will get an ITE tramp stamp in exchange for two weeks of DQ. For FOUR weeks, I will throw ITE panties on stage at Drocolate’s next show. Let’s DO THIS!
I think I’d do a Henna waist-necklace tattoo with the DQ logo as the charm. And maybe a Dilly Bar face-tat.
I love jingles.
I also love ITE panties.
Man, I love the steak fingers with gravy. And I will say this now: DQ invented Texas Toast. There.
We have ITE panties?
I’m quite sure ITE panties can be obtained. Rondostar, don’t you have a Bedazzler? Done and done.
