Why This Day Breaks Records

DQ’s annual free cone event distributes over 2.1 million treats nationwide - enough to stack 3x taller than Mount Everest! 2025’s twist:

3-Level Strategy (Free Cone + Year Supply Chance)

1. App Advantage (Through 3/19)

   (Avoid mall locations - 62% run out faster!)

3. Perfect Timing

   • Early birds (10-11 AM): Shortest lines

Real User Hack: “I asked for my cone in a cup - got double the sprinkles without mess!” - Jenna L., Ohio

Pro Tips for Short Waits
