Dairy Queen famously has no liquid products. You can’t buy drinks at Dairy Queen. That person may have never even encountered a beverage in their life prior to the incident described in the tweet. The scenario is plausible.
It is plausible that someone who did things repeatedly for years might do that thing out of context. This is an unlikely extreme, but it is plausible or it wouldn't land as a joke.
Of course it didn't happen to the person who told the joke. Most comedy bits like this are either 'what if' or extremely embellished to the point of being fictional with something real that was vaguely similar. It is still funny to think about how it could happen, because it might remind us of stuff that other people or even ourselves have done that was stupid and illogical due to habits.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good joke
Were it simply an allegory for the folly of man, why, I ask you, is the gentleman still laughing about it?
A strong imagination!
The act of making a blizzard vs filling a cup with soda are not comparable.
Statistically, it is more likely this scenario woild happen at a Dairy Queen than a Burger King but that wouldn't be as funny.
Is this an American thing? In Canada, Dairy Queen is a full restaurant with burgers and fries and the best onion rings. They serve drinks as well to go with meals. When I was a kid the kids meal would include a token so you could go get a dilly bar or ice cream cone for dessert.
That person was joking. Dairy Queen serves normal drinks, so there is no reason why a person who worked there would turn every cup upside down.
In fact, there are even some blizzards where it was a risk to turn it upside down. If there is enough stuff in there, it runs the risk of falling out over a marketing gimmick.
Yeah they have the Julius and the givré if you ask for it.
