Here’s the fun part: while you’re all talking about their ice cream, technically it’s not legal to call their product that. You won’t see it anywhere on the menu. I think it has to do with the milk/cream/egg/sugar amounts? There may not be egg at all, but can’t remember for sure.
Anyway, all you’ll ever see on the menu is “soft serve”
Funny enough, the milk they use (at least the supplier to the store I managed) is nonfat milk. So the first listed ingedient is nonfat milk, and the second is milk fat, lol.
Oh, for sure. Especially during pumpkin pie blizzard season. Plus they always seem to feed my FOMO with some other flavor so I go twice during that season alone
Yeah, soft serve is just frozen sugar milk, comes in cartons like regular milk and you can totally just drink it, tastes a bit like whole milk but clearly with an unhealthy amount of sugar in it.

Ice cream has to be at least 10% butterfat and 20% milk solids according to the FDA.
DQ soft serve is 5% butterfat so would not legally qualify as ice cream, though it would qualify as low fat ice cream.
I do believe that most soft serve is a similar fat percentage, and also has much more air per volume than traditional ice cream.
Also, I must say as an ice cream aficionado, I do love me some soft serve and I would never disparage it by calling it “not real ice cream.”
