During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actress, who recently became a U.S. citizen, tried to answer Kimmel’s citizenship questions. She did not know what DQ stood for even as she spotted someone pretending to lick an ice cream cone.

“Well we certainly want to change that,” said Barry Westrum, executive vice president of Marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ). “We’d like to invite Ms. Blunt to lunch or dinner at Dairy Queen as many times as she’d like to come to celebrate her American citizenship. She can enjoy everything from our new menu of DQ Bakes!™—hot-from-the-oven artisan sandwiches, snack melts and desserts a la mode—as well as our Blizzard® Treats and even our signature cones. We hope she’ll take us up on our offer so she’ll always remember what DQ stands for.”

It might be understandable that Blunt, who stars in the new film Sicario, doesn’t recognize DQ as Dairy Queen because the brand does not yet have a presence in her home country of Great Britain. “But now that she’s here, she can enjoy DQ anytime she wants,” adds Westrum.
