According to what the DQ advertised, this was a way for customers to see their ice cream "thick" to adhere to the wall of the cup, unable to spill. This is based on the common perception that the thicker the smoothie or cream, the better.

Even, the company also offers an extremely "bargain" commitment to customers: if the staff when serving Blizzard forgot to overturn the cup, customers will receive a free cup of the next coupon.

It can be said, this is an extremely creative and "unique" idea . But where does this idea come from?

The creator of this idea is Sam Temperato - the late director of DQ's franchise in St. Louis.

As stated, milkshakes and ice cream mixes are always considered "as thick as possible". And this is even more true for a 14-year-old boy - a regular customer at a rival rival Dairy Queen.

That action did not escape Temperato's eyes. After witnessing the boy drinking well the milk shake, he decided that this must be a common standard for the entire system of DQ.
