Dairy Queen Mini Blizzards — So Very Tiny, So Very Dangerous

Dairy Queen's new Mini Blizzards are now available nationwide. Is this good news or the worst news ever? Well, that all depends …

If you typically order a small 12-ounce Blizzard and often think, "Wow, how am I going to finish this whole thing?" well, then, congratulations: The debut of the new Mini Blizzard — which at 6 to 7 ounces is about half the size of a small and costs between $1.99 and $2.49 — is great news for your waistline.

But if you're someone like me who typically goes out of her way to avoid being tempted by the DQ, then this news is tragic: How can I pass up on something so little and so cute? I fear there are many, many Oreo Mini Blizzards in my future.

To make matters even worse, right now you can get $0.50 off a Mini Blizzard when you purchase a Kid's Meal. Visit the official Dairy Queen site for the details.

Have you tried the new mini size? What's your favorite Blizzard flavor?
