Most of the time, employees do not remember to do this. When they do remember, it’s often a quick, perfunctory ‘down-up’ before handing the blizzard over. This comic was inspired by a particular DQ employee that no longer works there, but who would hold the blizzard upside-down and just stare at you. I mean he was a cool kid and everything (I’d dealt with him elsewhere) but he got kinda intense about the Upside-Down-Thick philosophy. The staring did not help. [January 17, 2012]
haha the face expression in panel 3 is priceless.
They tried that with me once, and it actually fell out. I had never heard of or seen the policy of turning the Blizzard upside-down, so I got quite pissed off, and assumed that the kid was purposely dumping my Blizzard on the counter.
See. I think doing stuff like that is silly. Just give me the freaking slurpee.
You mean Blizzard right…?
