It’s with some trepidation and a little bit of embarrassment that I ask you, the superb readers of The Impulsive Purchase, am I the one one? Did you all know that pet chow is a tasty mixture of cereal, chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar, and never, because the identify implies, meals for younger canines?
Okay, so pet chow is definitely each of the above, however I had no concept it might be one thing tasty for people to eat. My spouse appears to assume that I’m the one one so clueless, and I’m hoping to search out not less than one kindred spirit on right here who’s equally ignorant. After some reflection although, I do recall having pet chow previously and having fun with it, however I suppose I by no means thought to ask what it was referred to as.
Why all of the speak about pet chow? Properly, the Peanut Butter Pet Chow Blizzard is likely one of the new additions to the Dairy Queen menu for April (and never an April Idiot’s gag as I initially thought). In response to my in depth analysis on Wikipedia, pet chow is primarily common within the Midwest and usually accommodates a mix of cereal (like Chex or Crispix), melted chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. There are additionally a bunch of different names for it, like reindeer chow, doggy bag, or muddy buddies. Apparently, the canine-inspired identify comes from the truth that it appears to be like like pet food, so why wouldn’t or not it’s an awesome Blizzard taste?
Properly, it’s good however not nice. The DQ web site says its model consists of crispy pet chow items, peanut butter topping, and choco chunks. As promising as these substances sound, I didn’t assume they actually labored collectively in concord. I might positively style the Chex-like cereal, however it had a barely stale taste and never a lot crunch. This additionally had a really salty style, and certainly it does have extra sodium than the typical Blizzard. As for the powdered sugar, it’s listed within the substances, however it was not noticeable, both by style or appears to be like because it blends in with the vanilla delicate serve. This actually didn’t style a lot completely different than a peanut butter cup Blizzard besides that it provides an odd-tasting cereal. Did I end this Blizzard? After all I did. It’s nonetheless a sugar-packed ice cream deal with, however this one didn’t have me barking for extra.
In case you actually love pet chow (of the human meals selection), then maybe you’ll in all probability discover this Blizzard pleasant, however I used to be a bit underwhelmed. In honor of the beginning of baseball season, this one is a pleasant single to the hole which may get stretched to a double, however it’s not a house run.
