<P> Most locations in Texas, including those which otherwise resemble the Brazier or DQ Grill & Chill formats, use a separate hot food menu branded as Texas Country Foods . Among other differences, "Hungr - Buster" burgers are available in place of the Brazier and GrillBurger offerings . Other food offerings not found outside Texas include the "Dude" chicken - fried steak sandwich, steak finger country baskets, T - Brand tacos, and a one - half pound double meat hamburger, the "BeltBuster". </P> <P> Texas is home to the largest number of Dairy Queens in the U.S. All Texas Dairy Queen restaurants are owned and operated by franchisees . The Texas Dairy Queen Operators' Council (TDQOC) runs a separate marketing website from the national website . Bob Phillips, host of the popular Texas syndicated television series Texas Country Reporter, was for many years the DQ spokesman in Texas, as the restaurant was a co-sponsor of the program at the time . </P> <P> The company's products expanded to include malts and milkshakes in 1950, banana splits in 1951, Dilly Bars in 1955, Mr. Misty slush treats in 1961 (later renamed Misty Slush, then again to Arctic Rush; as of 2017, DQ again calls them Misty Slush, as seen on dairyqueen.com), Jets, Curly Tops, Freezes in 1964, and a range of hamburgers and other cooked foods under the Brazier banner in 1958 . In 1971, the Peanut Buster Parfait, consisting of peanuts, hot fudge, and vanilla soft serve, was introduced . In 1995, the Chicken Strip Basket was introduced, consisting of chicken strips, Texas toast (only in the US), fries, and cream gravy (gravy in Canada). Other items include sundaes and the blended coffee drink, the MooLatte . </P> <P> The majority of Dairy Queen locations serve Pepsi - Cola products, but unlike most other restaurants such contracts are not mandated onto the franchisee, and as a result, some locations serve Coca - Cola products instead . Wendy's (until 1998), Subway (until 2003), Arby's (until 2006; returned to Coke in 2018), IHOP (until 2012), and Applebee's (until 2012) also allowed such leniency on beverage choice before signing exclusive soft drink deals with Coca - Cola and Pepsi - Cola, making Dairy Queen the last major restaurant chain without an exclusive soft drink contract . </P>

When did the peanut buster parfait come out
