MINNEAPOLIS—The blockbuster S’mores Blizzard® Treat is back in town and to celebrate the Dairy Queen® system, part of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A and BRK.B), today launched smoresong.com, an interactive website of all things S’mores.
“We are encouraging fans to gather around our virtual campfire and sing along to the same new S’mores song you’ll hear thousands of times in our commercials during June”
“Everyone has a vivid story of campfires, friends and gooey treats, especially in the summer. We inspire those memories with our S’mores Blizzard Treat that our fans fell in love with last year, so we are bringing it back in an epic way,” said Barry Westrum, executive vice president of Marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ). “They can come to our restaurants in June and July and enjoy a memory-filled campfire S’mores flavor in a cup, and get in the spirit of s’mores and summer on smoresong.com.”
Fans visiting smoresong.com will be treated to a variety of activities on the site where they’ll have the opportunity to:
Enter the S’mores Song Music Video Contest with a grand prize of $10,000 – From now through June 30, fans can submit a 45-60 second video of the next verse for the S’mores song featured in the new DQ® commercial. Three finalists will be posted on the contest’s website beginning July 7, and fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite through July 18. Second prize is a $1,000 Dairy Queen gift card and third is one Blizzard Treat per month for one year.

“We are encouraging fans to gather around our virtual campfire and sing along to the same new S’mores song you’ll hear thousands of times in our commercials during June,” said Westrum. “We’re hoping you won’t be able to get our S’mores song out of your head and you’ll sing it all the way to our restaurants.”
The inspiration for smoresong.com is the S’mores Blizzard Treat, delicious rich, gooey marshmallow inside chunks of chocolate, crunchy Honey Maid® graham crackers and hand-blended with signature DQ soft serve, available in DQ and DQ Grill & Chill® locations nationwide in June.
