Angel-Hair; Soft Ice Cream; Pizza Bagel; Sirloin Tips

[Herb Stahlke]

I remember in the early 50s when the first DQ appeared in our
area, in Flat Rock, MI, seven miles east of where I grew up (I got
the geography right this time).  We called their ice cream both
Dairy Queen and frozen custard.  The latter was familiar and just
generalized to anything that looked like it.  I wonder if that
might be Mark's experience too.

Frozen custard is exactly what the name says.  DQ does
not sell frozen custard, it sells soft ice cream.
Maybe at one time DQ sold frozen custard, but not
today.
