Dairy Queen Survey Says Not Everyone is Eating Out Less
Posted: April 30, 2009
As a college kid, there is nothing my friends and I like to do better than take a homework break for a Dairy Queen run. It seems that a lot of people have the same idea, too. While sitting in the long drive-thru line, we debate our many ice cream choices. Should I get the strawberry dipped cone or the cookie dough blizzard? The Moolatte or the hot fudge sundae? So many great dairy options, and so little college spending money. Yet, despite this economy, it seems that people continue to dine at restaurants. (Side Note: My college friend would KILL me for posting this photo of her scarfing down ice cream. I’m in the background, covered up by her spoon. Ha!)
According to a recent study by Dairy Queen, Almost half of U.S. adults are eating out about the same or more than they did a year ago. (Or rephrased, more than half of adults are eating out less often.)
This consumer survey report was released at MinnPost.com. The survey was taken by Harris Interactive and involved interviews with 2,852 adults age 18 or older. Forty-six percent said they are eating out the same or more, presumably leaving 54 percent who are eating out less or didn’t answer.
