Dairy Queen is celebrating its 85th birthday with a limited-time treat.

Blizzard lovers can get a small one for 85 cents from Sept. 8 to Sept. 21 at participating locations nationwide, the Minnesota-based company said in a news release.

To snag one, customers have to order it through the DQ app and spend at least $1.

“It’s the perfect opportunity to try a new flavor or revisit an old favorite at an unbeatable value while celebrating 85 years of DQ,” the company said in the release.

In addition to the tasty bargain, Dairy Queen is releasing its fall menu — with some new flavors.

Starting Aug. 29, fans can try the new caramel toffee cookie Blizzard treat and the maple cookie shake.

The pumpkin pie Blizzard treat is also making a comeback. It’s blended with soft serve and pieces of pumpkin pie and topped with whipped cream and nutmeg.
