What the hell is this?!

[sbcanada]

I am totally clueless as to what "Brazier" could mean....

 

[Justintime]

tittie milk?

it's a trademarked name older than you are.

 

[Professur]

It's a charcoal burner. You might say that a BBQ is a shallow brazier.

Dairy Queen was in its origins only an ice cream and soda shop. Later on some of the stores added a full hot meal (standard burgers and fries stuff) assortment. The Brazier name was an indicator of the availablity of hot foods to passing customers. Now almost all of them serve hot food which makes it pretty much moot.

 

[Professur]

Not up here they don't.

 

[unclehobart]

Don't what? Have the name, Brazier... or available hot food?

 

[Professur]

Have hot food. Most are just an ice cream stand, and close up towards the end of September, to reappear with the flowers.

 

[unclehobart]

That the exception rather than the rule down here as I have only seen the ice cream only variant in a few lesser malls.

Hey Unc, I want ya to try summat fer me. Do the tour of your local tire retailers and see how many would have to special order winter tires fer ya.

 

[Gonz]

I can get winter tires right down the street & Dairy Queen is open year round. The small mom& pop shops close up but DQ & Baskin Robbins are always ready to serve ice cream on a winters day.

*notices the canadian leaf on the picture*

Canada eh?

 

[unclehobart]

Our tire retailers down here are fairly mammoth and would most likely carry all manner of tires shy of specialty studded... on paper. With umpteen makes, models, and rim sizes, even my normal set has to be transferred in sometimes. They have everything ...on the computer ...*grumble*

 

[Professur]

It's not their fault. He just sort of happened.

All we have as far as DQ does around here is the crappy cold food-only variety in these parts. Too bad, too; their burgers are pretty decent, at least in the Dallas area.

But I wonder if maybe for a while DQ sold braziers... 32A to 42DDD braziers.
