"Simple but rich, it consisted of vanilla soft serve, brownie chunks, hot fudge, and marshmallow sauce, topped with Oreo cookies. But before you shed another nostalgic tear, fans need to know they can still delight in this earth-shaking treat, albeit under a different name. In 2019, Dairy Queen introduced a "new" item that's really just a rebrand of this gone-but-not-forgotten sweet."
""The most popular old menu item was an Oreo Brownie Earthquake," she explained on TikTok, elaborating that DQ had released a retooled version called Brownie and OREO Cupfection, which she admitted, "... is pretty much the same ... but they're using chocolate syrup instead of hot fudge and the brownie ... is just slightly different." But, if the chocolate syrup kills it for you, just ask them to swap it for hot fudge and you're back in business."
Dairy Queen's Oreo Brownie Earthquake combined vanilla soft serve, brownie chunks, hot fudge, marshmallow sauce, and Oreo cookies. The item was later removed from menus, prompting online lament across articles and Reddit boards. In 2019 Dairy Queen reintroduced the combination as the Brownie and OREO Cupfection, served in a cup with chocolate syrup replacing hot fudge and a slightly different brownie. Miranda, a Dairy Queen district manager in Michigan, confirmed on TikTok that the Cupfection is essentially the same and suggested customers can request hot fudge instead of chocolate syrup. A May 2015 Bungie chatboard exchange recorded fan disappointment when the Brownie Earthquake was discontinued.
