Dairy Queen in Moline and Green River

The story of the founding of DQ as I grew up hearing it involved sites in Moline Illinois and in nearly Green River/Colona, and an investor named Morey Nelson. Nelson was a friend/mentor of my uncle. I often was with my cousin playing in their yard when Nelson pulled up in his old Buick; invariably, he brought a sack of Dilly Bars for us kids. The story I learned later was that Nelson, who was a stock broker, had been approached by the inventor of the soft serve machine, and ultimately helped finance DQ. A store in Moline was the first store of their joint venture, and they set up a warehouse of sorts in Green River. The Wikipedia article on sort serve mentions some of this.

Country Basket

Throughout my life I've bounced back and forth between Colorado and Texas. Why is the Country Basket (Steakfinger Basket) not available in Colorado? All they have is the Chicken Strip basket. Are the steakfingers only available in Texas (or other southern states)? Crackawoods (talk) 17:39, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well apparently they were never available in Colorado but they were available in other states, however now they're only available in Texas and nowhere else.

-== Peanut Buster Parfait ==
-The section on Products contains two seemingly conflicting statements for the origin of the Peanut Buster Parfait:
-"In 1971, the Peanut Buster Parfait, consisting of peanuts, hot fudge, and vanilla soft serve, was introduced by Forrest 'Frosty' Chapman in his St. Peter, Minnesota Franchise."
-and:
-"Another sundae made by Dairy Queen is the peanut buster parfait thoroughly enjoyed and invented by Patsy Franks in 1969."
-The first is, I believe, correct, although I don't have an authoritative source for this. The second is subjective and seems to be a personal entry of unknown veracity.
