Yes, I knew that it's not ice cream. I was thinking in the general sense

Then this one is an insult to American culture. I certainly won't enter
that one ever again.
When I lived in west Texas, every town had a Dairy Queen. I still have a
vivid memory of stopping at the one in Ranger, where I encountered a sheriff's
deputy who wore a large revolver in a heavily engraved holster, my introduction
to life in west Texas. In Big Spring, we also had Wagon Wheel drive-ins, which
are virtually identical to the more common Sonic drive-ins. The nearest
McDonald's was hours away in Lubbock.
