I worked at DQ way back when. Staff could always identify each other's cones by the swirl on the top of the ice cream. Making a curl was mandatory and we all had our own style. Much like handwriting. I kid you not.
 
I heard that the ice cream at DQ contains no dairy items. Could be fake news I suppose but friends with dairy allergies go there to eat ice cream without any negative results. Personally speaking I think the only good thing about it is that it is refreshingly cold on a summer day. To me it seems watery, lacking that delicious rich cream body of good ice cream.

I believe that is fake news Kay. As I've heard it, DQ does contain dairy, but DQ is ice milk rather than ice cream.

From DQ, "Technically, our soft serve does not qualify to be called ice cream. To be categorized as ice cream, the minimum butterfat content must be ten percent, and our soft serve has only five percent butterfat content. While our soft serve product used to be categorized as “ice milk,” the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) eliminated this category of product to allow companies the ability to market frozen dairy products as “reduced-fat,” “light,” and “low-fat” ice cream.

DQ® soft serve fits into the “reduced-fat” ice cream category and our shake mix qualifies as “low-fat” ice cream. But, even though our soft serve may have been categorized differently in the past, our recipe has not changed. DQ soft serve contains 5% butterfat, which is not the same as 95% fat-free." - Frequently Asked Questions - Dairy Queen
 
Still remember the ice cream from a church picnic one year when I was a kid. They had an ice cream churn that you had to turn the handle on. Deal was if you wanted some ice cream you did some churning. It was a lot of work from a lot of kids, but is sure was smooth and thick and delicious. This is my last reminiscence of being a kid for today.

We had different childhoods. When my siblings and I visited our grandparents, they and our mom would do all the food preparation. My grandparents were just happy to be with us all.

mom helped Gramma get the food ready - sometimes sis and I could help...dad and Grandpa visited or were out working in yard till it was time to eat...sis and I got to set the table.

At our paternal grandparents (lived in the Crowsnest Pass in AB) sis and I would play outside till we were called in...mom did food prep and dad visited with his parents in the kitchen so mom could be part of the conversation too.

Hope you had kites to play with, The Crowsnest Pass has some mighty impressive winds. Or at least they did last time I was down that way. :)

Never flew a kite there - did at Delacour...at the Pass, my grandparents were beside the old Burmis tree (growing out of the rock) and we played on that every time we went down (before the fence went up and do-gooders tried to preserve it).

I'd be surprised if that's an actual dairy allergy then.
Most of their menu contains milk products. https://www.dairyqueen.com/Documents/2017 CA Food Treat Nutrition Brochure July December.pdf

For some reason this made me think of Charlie Brown's Kite-Eating Tree.
