The classic childhood snack of "dirt and worms" is getting an upgrade in the form of [Dairy Queen's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-batter-cookie-dough-blizzard) new Oreo Dirt Pie Blizzard.

For those unfamiliar, dirt and worms is a kid's snack that combines chocolate pudding with crushed chocolate cookies, and gummy worms to resemble real dirt. Now Dairy Queen has put a spin on this classic dish by combining [Oreo cookie pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cookie-sundae), gummy worms, and fudge crumble with creamy vanilla soft serve. The new Dairy Queen's Oreo Dirt Pie Blizzard is part of the brand's seasonal 2022 'All-Star' summer Blizzard line-up. Other treats in the lineup include the Girl Scout Thin Mints Blizzard, the Very Cherry Chip Blizzard, the [Drumstick with Peanuts Blizzard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dq-drumstick-duo), and more.
