Dairy Queen launches new shake with iconic flavors and it’s perfect to cure your ‘afternoon slump’

DAIRY Queen has launched a new sugary shake that will be enough to get you through the rest of the day.

But this isn’t your traditional Americano at a Starbucks.

Instead, Dairy Queen has brought a refreshment that includes a caffeine boost and a ton of sugar to the menu.

It is known as the white mocha shake.

Dairy Queen said that the shake aims to help those who are “experiencing that dreaded, daily mid-afternoon slump.”

“Instead of turning to a second (or third) cup of burnt office coffee, opt for the NEW White Mocha Shake. It’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and refresh your afternoon,” the fast food chain said.

However, the drink includes a laundry list of ingredients including high fructose corn syrup, reduced-fat ice cream, nonfat milk, white chocolate sauce, cocoa butter, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, coffee, as well as artificial and natural flavors.

The drink sells in small, medium, and large sizes.

While prices vary by location, the cost on the Dairy Queen app of the white mocha shake ranges from $4.80 to $5.72.

A large shake contains 850 calories and has a whopping 110 grams of total sugar.

MORE NEW SWEATS AT DAIRY QUEEN

Dairy Queen has been busy updating its menu as the fall approaches.

One fall favorite that’s back on the menu is its pumpkin pie Blizzard.

The treat contains pumpkin pie pieces, and vanilla soft serve that’s topped with whipped cream and nutmeg.

It has been around seasonally for 32 years.

Additionally, Dairy Queen has launched another new Blizzard known as the royal Reese’s fluffernutter.

It includes marshmallows, chocolate, and peanut butter topping.

“At the center of the Royal REESE’S Fluffernutter Blizzard^® Treat — surrounded by our world-famous soft serve mixed with REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups and peanut butter topping — you’ll find sweet, creamy marshmallow,” Dairy Queen said in a description of the product.

The cost ranges from $4.46 to $6.50 depending on the size.

OTHER BRANDS LAUNCHING NEW ITEMS

Other brands have also been updating their menus for the fall, as well.

This includes Starbucks, which launched its seasonal lineup.

It includes returning favorites such as the pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin cream cold brew, apple crisp oat milk macchiato, pumpkin cream cheese muffin, owl cake pop, and pumpkin and pepita loaf.

There are also three new items on the fall menu this year, which are as follows:

• Iced pumpkin cream chai tea latte
• Baked apple croissant
• Iced apple crisp oat milk shaken espresso

Krispy Kreme has unveiled its full lineup, containing various items from coffees to donuts.

This includes bringing back the pumpkin spice original glazed and pumpkin spice cake donut.

Also, two new donuts including the pumpkin spice cheesecake swirl and pumpkin spice maple pecan are joining the menu.

And even grocery chains have been getting festive.

Additionally, ice cream chain Carvel has unveiled its fall lineup.

It includes pumpkin cheesecakes in the form of soft serve, dashers, and flying saucers.

When it comes to discontinued items, International Delight has axed an entire lineup of products.

And a popular SunChips flavor is enjoying its retirement.
