Dippin Dots files bankruptcy

[Nebor]

I always like Dippin' Dots but they were always way overpriced. As in, overpriced so extremely that I wouldn't consider buying them despite having no food budget constraints.

Damn Americans and your oversupply of scrumptious innovative food products... I can't even find a Dairy Queen and I live in the biggest city in Canada.

The reason: a burger that would cost $4 at McDonalds will cost $8u23409478234 at Dairy Queen. Oh yeah and their version of the Frosty costs like $30 instead of $2. Fuck Dairy Queen.

You must be 12 years old or live outside America. They are/were in nearly every mall the last 20 years and gave the majority of their product away as free samples. Ususally the sample was all you ever cared for.

I wouldn't say they were nearly in every mall in America. I seen them pop up more in recent years but hardly when I was a kid. in MI. Mostly in theaters but that just made the price even worse. Only about a month or two ago did they even start to sell them at my local big chain grocery store.

Neat product, but cost was absurd.

I actually like it. But obviously not worth the price.

?!?!? DQ isn't any more expensive than McD's. A tiny bit more on the savory types of food, but their ice cream products are fair and away MUCH better for about a buck more.Large DQ blizzard here is $5 I think. Large McD flurry is $4.5 I think. The DQ blizzard is almost twice the size though and has WAY more available flavor options.

I don't buy burgers at DQ, but their ice cream seems reasonable enough considering it tastes way better than anything McD's can offer. Also as a member of the Blizzard Fan Club I get 2 for 1 coupons all the time, so even better.
