The
lack of decent sides kills DQ’s chances of
serving a healthy kids’ meal. Trans-fatty fries
and onion rings are the only options, and you’ll
be lucky to get out of the building without a
cold treat to take along for the ride. The
child-size ice cream cone is a nice touch, but
DQ’s holy grail is the ubiquitous and
often-mimicked Blizzard, which ought to be
renamed the Avalanche.
SURVIVAL STRATEGY
Play solid defense: Skip sides entirely and
offer your kid the choice between a soda or a
child-size cone.
