So I stopped in at the local Dairy Queen and ordered a medium butterscotch sundae. The clerk told me they didn't have butterscotch and instead had caramel.

They are the biggest ice cream franchise in North America are they not?? And no butterscotch!?

I Moonwalked out of there with both guns blazing! Sorry, but caramel doesn't even come close to butterscotch!

I don't think I even hear of butterscotch lately now that you mention it.
Everything is caramel or salted caramel.
Bring back butterscotch!!

Oh, this so reminds me of this Mocha joke;

The man getting served in front of me at Starbucks asked for a mocha. "Sorry sir, but we're out of mochas."

The guy was fuming.

"I have a mocha every morning when I come in here!" “This is B.S.” he raged.

"Fine! Just give me a darned latte!" He went and sat down, grumbling.

I went to the counter and said, "I'll have a large latte too, please."
They asked me for my name.
I asked why they needed it and they told me that they'd write it on my cup and shout it when it was ready.

So I told them my name was Mocha.

I wholeheartedly agree!
 
We ‘never’ had cherry dipped cones.

Out of the 3 seen below, we only had chocolate and butterscotch dipped. The butterscotch was really good

Here, here for Butterscotch! If useful try these:

Butterscotch was my topping of choice for the first half of my life, then it disappeared and I made the switch to caramel, but, like Beezer, I suffered some through the transition. Butterscotch is sweeter and, I feel, produces stronger alpha waves, which is the main reason I go to the Dairy Queen in the first place. I take a mean satisfaction in knowing the caramel pump is really hard to push.
 
My last two stops at a Dairy Queen were disappointments. The last one, I ordered a chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard. It was ice cream with a couple shots of chocolate syrup, and I can't remember how they did the cookie dough part. It was a vague approximation of the actual concept. I can't remember what the one before that was, but I thought, "There's two treats in a row that I won't even finish. But it just wasn't two things. Over the last few years Dairy Queen has been cutting corners, when they would be better served by removing things that are poor substitutes from the menu. I just stopped going there. There are better treats at other places. Alternatively, it may be that my tastes have changed. I used to think Dairy Queen was the end all be all stop for ice cream treats, now I'd rather have ice cream than the speed freezer approximation that made Dairy Queen famous.
 
I love butterscotch too. The local fancy chain is called Bruster's. I enjoy the look of confusion on the teenagers' faces when I ask for a butterscotch milkshake. I'm also guilty of buying the Jello Butterscotch pudding ( the kind you actually cook) at the grocery store and fixing the whole batch for myself. Love it just slightly cooled so that there is a skin on top but the pudding below is still warm. As for DQ, we recently won a DQ gift card at a local trivia night and treated the grandsons with it.

There definitely are better places for ice cream than Dairy Queen. Most of my better memories of Dairy Queen were long ago going with family. Driving for Dairy Queen dipped ice cream cones with the family was one of my best memories. We even got a little cone for our dog minus the chocolate. Fun times.

Those ice cream cakes look good, and I may try one sometime, but as I recall, a whole cake was kind of expensive, when I could buy a whole Eddy's cookies and cream pie for under 7 dollars. Now the Eddy's pie is not ice cream. It's just plain whipped cream, in a crumbled cookie crust pie shell, with more cookie crumbles sprinkled on top. It's actually a rather simple concoction, but OMG, OMG, OMG!

The last time I had DQ ice cream cake was probably about 5 or 6 years ago. A girlfriend introduced me to them and you could order mini cakes and the biggest difference was the ice cream itself. The ice cream was much denser than the cone ice cream and there was always 2 flavours with a soft fudge middle. The bottom was made of that crunchy cookie type crust. If they are still the same, they truly are good. I liked the turtles one cause I like those flavours but you could get other flavours AND even get it personalized with a name on top. The cream topping is nice too.

Laura Secord has some nice ice cream
