What am I celebrating on tattoo Tuesday?
March 17, 2015
The world’s first Dairy Queen opened in Joliet serving ice cream cones for five and 10 cents. (Dairy Queen)
Dairy Queen celebrated its 75th anniversary on March 16.
I thought I was late to the party, but it turns out that the celebration was early. The first Dairy Queen shop opened in Illinois on June 22, 1940 – so we can look forward to more festivities. The company, however, chose to note the occasion by giving out free ice cream cones at various locations on March 16.
If you are not near a Dairy Queen store – or if they are still closed for the winter – or if you feel like doing it yourself, check out BraveTart’s recipe for a copycat Dairy Queen Blizzard here.
The next question is, can I find a Dairy Queen tattoo?
Well, yes . . .

Yummy celebration! I have many tasty memories of Dairy Queen. Miss them. The only one around is in a neighborhood I don’t dare stop in.
Sometimes DQ just hits the spot. Do you have a favorite ice cream place?
