I was super-confused about what "Dairyland" was until I read the associated URL and realized it was just a typo. "Dairyland" sounds like a lactose-based theme park. EDIT: the typo in the title has been fixed.

I thought maybe Dairy Queen rebranded a decade ago in a desperate bid to save the company and changed their name to Dairyland - but I just went and checked and they're still going https://www.dairyqueen.com/en-us/ https://www.dairyqueen.com/en-us/ I gotta admit makes me sort of happy, Dairy Queen was always the fast food that had my heart as a kid just because I had seen it once while hitchhiking with my mom and her boyfriend between Illinois and Utah and a trucker gave us enough money to get some food there. And their name and sign just looked a whole lot more magical than the others.

"Dairyland" is a real nostalgia trip for me, because it was the name emblazoned on the local ice cream van when I was a kid!

Honestly a lot of website names were super weird back then, I wouldn't have blinked an eye if "dairyland" really was the name of a popular 90's site.

No! And it's too late to edit! Oh, well, at least it opened the door to a bad pun or two.

I was even more confused, because here in Western Canada, Dairyland is the primary dairy brand (owned by Saputo) sold in most stores.
