What was the now grey face of the A covered with? Bamboo? Tapa designs! Was there a float hanging from the outrigger beam? Was it really a Dairy Queen? For some inexplicable reason the A-frame is not mentioned in the "great moments of Dairy Queen history"!: 1961: The Mr. Misty slush treat cools throats in the warm South. 1962: International Dairy Queen, Inc. (IDQ) is formed. 1965: First national radio advertising sends DQ message 169 million times a week. 1966: First national TV commercial is aired, "Live a Little" 1968: The Buster Bar® bursts forth. 1970: Hot Fudge Brownie Delight™ debuts 1972: First DQ store opens in Japan and Dennis the Menace becomes the spokescharacter for DQ.
