My ice cream trials and tribulations

Post by fightinfrenchman »

Hey, I'm back :ear:

Anyway I wanted to talk about some ice cream troubles I've had. As you probably know I love my ice cream. My first discussions about ice cream on the forums revolved around how I like to eat ice cream during extremely laggy treaty games, and how the extra lag provided by my cat laying against the computer fans and overheating it helped give me time to eat the ice cream without losing my position on the map.

Anyway, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice cream from Turkey Hill specifically is my major addiction. I just can't get enough of the stuff, I often head to the local Turkey Hill gas station and get two half gallons of it. Each half gallon normally costs $4.49, but they frequently run a sale where you can get two of them for just $5, which is a great deal.

Anyway, a little while ago I head to the Turkey Hill to get my classic two half gallons of the stuff, but they're not on sale. The cashier tells me the "all natural" version of them is on sale, 2 half gallons for $7. I go get two of them (they are only called "Chocolate peanut butter" instead of "choclate peanut butter cup" but they look essentially the same, just with different packaging). I ask the guy at the register if they are any different, and he basically says yeah, the packaging is different. I don't say anything about it but I find this comment very funny, I wonder if he did as well. Just seemed like a really pointless thing to say.

Anyway this was a couple months ago, fast forward to yesterday. I go to pick up my regular order for the $5, the sale has been going on for a couple weeks now. The sale was still going on, but the Chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream was out of stock. At least, it wasn't on display. My cowardly, passive self didn't want to ask any of the employees if there was more in the back, so I went with two half gallons of the all natural stuff.

The only real difference I've noticed with the all natural stuff is that when it melts it's a lot thinner than the regular stuff. I often leave my ice cream sitting out for a while, and when I go to pick some of the melted stuff up with my spoon, the all natural stuff just flows off really quickly and it's extremely annoying. I'm only on my first bowl of the new batch so it will last me a little bit, and I will continue to have to deal with this minor issue.

The lesson? Don't be so passive, if you really want something go ahead and ask for it.

Moose Tracks - none of that "lite" shit either. The full fat original moose tracks is the best ice cream ever.

I don't say it because I'm American, I say it because it's true. Italians eat Italian water ice, hence the name, Italian water ice

In America in a high end artisanal desert shoppe the only difference between ice cream and gelato is the head we churn it with.

Fun fact: ice cream actually has no cream of ice in it, it really uses cream of cow. But "cow cream" tested poorly in focus groups in the 80s.

Also, any "sweet cream" flavor at any ice cream shop is just the churned cream base with no additional flavorings added. It's subsequently the cheapest flavor to make and I always believed should have been sold for less, but it never is. If you like sweet cream ice cream you're just getting scammed.

I'm eating some of that "all natural" ice cream right now and guess what? When it melts it still gets too watery. I'm pissed and upset, and I blame the employees of the local Turkey Hill gas station for not restocking the chocolate peanut butter cup flavor enough.

Most people in America usually refer to ice cream as "cream of cow soup," I just called it "ice cream" to not confuse people

Wow, haha, great joke man.

Because I never said what my favorite ice cream is: it is sea salt caramel with brownies and dark chocolate bits.
