I used to go to DQ every spring, but I haven't been in years now.
The only one here is quite a ways off via public transit (bus, BART train, then another bus). About a 2-hour trip one-way, and there is nothing else there, so it's a special trip just for that, but I still go at least four times a year. I'm damned determined not to give that up, like everything else. There is a 'Fosters Freeze' in Berserkeley I go to every month or so, which is like a generic rip-off of DQ, plus I do have a milkshake maker and ice cream maker, so I'm not too bad off.
I'm honestly not sure what happened it was almost a family tradition, I went with my mom every spring but as I got older I have almost completely lost my sweet tooth, I just don't enjoy sweets anymore. Its honestly sad at times, but I don't enjoy it, I'll take a good steak or some buttered asparagus over ice cream any day and I'm not sure what changed.
I'm not big on sweets like some are....you know the sort, they want dessert first! My idea of dessert is usually a hot buttered croissant with blueberry jam. That said, I do like ice cream, and Butterscotch Malted Milkshake most of all, though occasionally a banana split will take my fancy. Also DQ has the best hamburgers, hotdogs, etc., so maybe its been so long you forgot the other stuff available. I'd recommend the chili-cheese dog! Only found one other restaurant in Frisco that could beat the DQ version, and it closed down seven years ago.
