Those of you who have been to Dairy Queen are familiar with the treats that come with the brand. The Blizzards, the cakes, you name them. For me, I don't usually go there for the tasty treats. Often, I wind up ordering from their fast food menu. It sounds strange, but that's how I roll.
There it is! For $7.67, you could get yourself a 1/2lb Flamethrower combo, which include some fries and a drink. It's definitely cheaper than many of combo meals out there.
I always get mine without the lettuce because it gets soggy through the melting cheese. The burger packs some zing to make an attempt to match its name.
Do people even look at nutritional facts? Anyways, the burger itself packs a lot of calories depending on your normal daily intake. In fact, it's almost half of most people's recommended daily values. If you are an active person, it's still more than a third of that. If you add in the fries and the drink, it's another easy 300 calories you'd consume in one sitting.
The next time you stop by a Dairy Queen, try getting something other than a Blizzard. You might surprise yourself. I've been to my local Dairy Queen so often over the years now the staff know to fire up the grill when I pull into the lot.
