Nutrition labels on 'Dairy Queen' ice cream? You won't believe this

I recently made a rare trip to the DQ here in town.  I love chocolate and decided to get their ultimate "whatever" since I don't often indulge.  After finishing up my "Fudge Brownie Temptation Waffle Bowl Sundae" I started to think about it's fat and caloric detail as I entered some form of diabetic shock. 

Upon finding the DQ website I was able to navigate to their nutritional information, but only after a bit of a hunt.  The first screen was a disclosure regarding saturated fat percentage laws in certain states.  That page is here.  After this I was able to view the nutritional calculator, where you choose the ingredients piece-meal after which I was able to view the results found below. 

998 calories, 50g fat with 50% of the calories coming from fat.  Well, recently, I've been on a diet restricting my daily intake to 1500-2000 calories.  The treat pretty much blew that away for the day. 

But I'll tell you.  It was A W E S O M E!!  I wish I was as exited about broccoli.
