MOBILE- From the restaurant that proudly delivers an ice cream dessert in the name of a natural weather event, Dairy Queen officials met Friday with British Petroleum executives in Mobile, Alabama to announce their latest new product to be known as the DQ Oil Slick.
“We are tremendously excited to take an otherwise terrible environmental disaster and turn it into one of the best desserts you will ever have,” said Dairy Queen’s vice president of product marketing and development Herbert Horatio Foster. The dessert is a mix of chocolate ice cream, chocolate frosting, chocolate pudding, chocolate chips, and smothered with chocolate fudge syrup. DQ was very excited to announce that there will be “oil covered surprises” in the dessert in the form of gummy bears and gummy worms. “We do acknowledge the fact that there are not bears in the Gulf of Mexico but if we had gummy birds and fish we would include those.”
“There’s really nothing you can do about the oil in the ocean so we might as well have a dessert while we set up our lawn chairs on the beach,” said Mayble Carslile, a lifetime costal resident. “Look Marge I think we have another duck washing up,” she then hit her friend twice on the upper arm, “that’s four to zero!”
Next week Dairy Queen officials will be meeting with President Obama at White House with what is being called the “DQ Summit.” The president is expected to talk with DQ about more environmentally friendly fast food wrappers and green technology to increase the speed of serving food, cutting costs and will add over 1 million new jobs in the fast food industry within the next 3 months.
“Ummmm I’m not really sure how green technology will translate into all those jobs. We tend to hire high school kids and if they can count money and read correctly, we consider that a bonus,” said Mr. Foster.
