Do you know the one I am talking about?

The husband finds his wife making brownies in their kitchen. She lets him lick the batter off the beaters, which are still in the mixer, which is still plugged in.

You can see what's coming next.

Of course, the appliance gets turned on, and the guy starts screaming in pain as his tongue gets caught in the beaters. The screaming is horribly realistic, and I suspect that Dairy Queen may have received feedback  as there is an abbreviated version of the commercial with substantially less screaming.

At the end, the husband says that he likes Brownie Batter Blizzards better, 'cause "they're much sthafer". And, it is obvious by how he is talking that he has not recovered from his injuries yet, or perhaps he lost part of his tongue for good - you'll never know, especially since Dairy Queen didn't bother to add any realistic spewing mouth blood to the mixer incident.

In spite of the excruciating commercial, I had to try this Brownie Batter Blizzard. Since I am new to "Blizzards" in general, I'll tell everyone what they are before continuing.

A "Blizzard" is Dairy Queen's version of a mix of soft-serve ice cream, with some "stuff" mixed in, served in a cup, kind of like a very thick milkshake with chunks of things like cheesecake, M&Ms, Oreos, mouse parts (okay - just checking if you are reading), etc. I think this is so that places like Dairy Queen, which specialize in cheap yet inexpensive soft serve, can compete with the premium ice cream places such as Marble Slab, Cold Stone Creamery, etc.

Before the Dairy Queen guy gives you your finished Blizzard product, he spins the cup(s) around in the air like a wild west gun-toting gunman would twirl his six-shooter, so that you can see for yourself how thick it is! And, this is not just a local thing because my first Blizzard was in New Mexico this June, and they did the same thing there.

They may give it to you frozen, but if you think you are going to make it home three miles without it melting all over your car's cupholders, and possibly making it into your seat-warmer switch assembly, think again.

But, in spite of all that, it was really good!
