One said in response to the cake batter cookie dough blizzard: "Yeap ! I’m jumping behind the counter."

Also, some fans were reminiscing about a similar popular flavor that was discontinued by Dairy Queen known as confetti cake.

A cautiously optimistic commenter wrote: "it was sooooo good, like wayyy too good. Hopefully they bring it back, or hopefully this is just as good!

First introduced in 2012, the confetti cake was brought back briefly in 2014 – but hasn't been on the menu since.

It came with cake pieces, soft serve ice cream, and confetti frosting.

Also, keep in mind that McDonald's has launched a confetti cookie dough McFlurry.
