If I wasn't out of dry ice I'd send you English/British ice cream treats so you could compare. The cooler would include such treats as 'cola', 'cider' (and by cider they mean a children's version of the highly alcoholic pub treat not the delightful new englandy beverage we know) and 'ice'. Also because "summer" involves rain and sleet the van often switches purpose and becomes a chip (fries, not goat or curry flavoured crisps) van.

Great. Just great. I'm the only one who voted for the aluminum foil ice cream. Whatever.

The thing is...I love this entry. Mainly, because I know you were thinking how much I would love it as you were writing it. My problem is that you love bubblegum ice cream and this falls under the category of "things Kate and Zach just don't agree on" much like Spiderman, Harry Potter books/movies, and spicy/sour things. I don't like it. The concept of "saving" your stupid gum bits for the end of the ice cream grosses me out way more than it should. Yes, I know that no "gum bit" ice cream treats were featured, but bubblegum is not my flavor of choice much like banana. Which by the way, how weird was it that I tried banana rum caramel at Go Licks? It was so fake banana flavor too...I wish they had a rum caramel flavored ice cream. Or just rum for that matter. Oh my god, Sailor Jerry's Ice Cream!!!! My brain just exploded from the thought of it. So yea, I liked the entry, not so sure about all your ratings or why you stopped at pre-determined treats/flavors (other than time constraints). Why stop there? Why not go on to rate your dream ice creams or things that just wouldn't fly. We've done it with chips, they've created some heinous jelly beans (of the Harry Potter variety) and Lord knows there has to be some crazy hot sauce kalamata olive ice cream out there for that 1% of the population that would love it. Or better yet, meat flavored ice cream...because in reality, the more flesh-flavored ice creams we create, the closer we get to admitting to ourselves that we are, culturally speaking, batshit insane. Overall rating for the entry: A Add in the part about sailors/mermaids: A+ Create your own ice cream flavor rating entry: A+++

I have to say that I am totally on board with the Banana Split, which I would normally hate but the geniuses who invented it realized that strawberry sucks and should be banned from all things food-like, but they also realized that cherry is da bomb (in Rex's words - describing yesterdays substitute teacher). I don't know about cotton candy and bubblegum flavored ice cream, I don't think I'd like it now, but I'm sure I would have loved it as a kid. Just like I loved the Pink Panther. Just maybe not eating him. Again with the furry ice cream. I don't think I could eat a foot. Ew. FROND - OMG check this out!!!! http://icecreamireland.com/2007/03/07/coconut-and-rum-ice-cream/ OMFG!!! #1 I'm on my way to Ireland RIGHT NOW to have some of that and #2 I was friends with this guy in college!!! THIS guy - the one who invented the bestest ice cream in the world!!!! Who lives in Ireland and make ice cream!!! Holy crap why did I let him go!?!?! (More like why did I drive him away, but whatev) OK, I'm gonna need the smelling salts. Later . . . Oh, PS: I'm pretty sure that some ballsy guy from Eliot would be all over that hot sauce kalamata olive ice cream

Friend, I'm sorry but I'm abandoning the outline fashion. It's too hot for outlines. But NOT FOR NUMBERED LISTS!!! 1. You don't like Spider-Man?!?! (note: spelled WITH a hyphen. not that I care.) 2. I don't SAVE my gumb"bits" or pork tid"bits" for the end. If they are encased at the bottom of say, oh I don't know, a Two Pork Tidbit Screwball, I have no choice but to wait until the end of said hammy icey treat. 2.a. (oh bitches! it's beginning to look a lot like an outline!) Was that last line ham? That was MOST DEFINITELY ham! 3. Sailor Jerry's ice cream would totally bite my owl (in a good way. not a bad way.) See Old Friend's comment about something quite similar below! Wait - below your comment. Above this one. I'm getting vertigo. 4. Um - stupid? My ratings stopped not due to time constraints, but because I had FINISHED reviewing all the ICE CREAM TREATS IN THE PICTURE THAT PREFACED EACH ENTRY. What, you think I just came up with "Froze Toes" on my own? 4.a. That last line? Ham? That is NOT ham. 5. Not only have we done it with chips, but if you recall, I've also done it with bizzare soda flavors as well. [Or, if you don't recall: http://zqf8.diaryland.com/050404_1.html ] 6. For someone who doesn't like Harry Potter, you've brought him up twice. 7. Nice set up (ie - kalamata) for Old Friend's total snap of the lead singer of The Dumptrucks in her comment. 8. You and your mermaids/sailors! It makes me want to smash you with the spikes on my tail.

Nicely done. I want to thank you for bringing the 'good humor' menu to my attention. As a five year resident of Brooklyn i have had the pleasure of an ARMY, no, a FLEET of Mr. Softy ice cream trucks trucking around the neighborhood hypnotising the fuck out of the residents into a state of rage that only happens when tudor style buildings wear their panties while prouncing around with their titties out singing Kate Bush. I hate Mr. Softy and his ice cream head. hate. Having said this...i believe Mr. Softy is different than Good Humor. But i happen to hate ALL ice cream trucks. Ever since the ice cream man gypped (can i still use that word? it's in the American Heritage College Dictionary - third edition - so i guess i can) me out of my FREE ice cream. No matter now - the queen of all beach queens banished him from my childhood roundy-go. Now...back to B. I do not like looney tunes in ANYWHERE they do NOT belong. They do NOT belong on an ice cream truck, on the internets, walking around theme parks or on cotton...and they most certainly do NOT belong on denum or tatoos. only on television. So i'm sorry Zach but they should have received an F. okay, D+ becasue they were on sticks. i guess that's kind of 'looney'. I think that's all I have. Oh, wait. one more thing...NEVER say RAGOON to me EVER again. Thank you.

As a rule, I'm against just about anything bubble-gum flavored that isn't bubble gum or fluoride paste. I remember ordering a bubble-gum ice cream sundae at Frankensundae (God Rest his soul and his vulture friend) and i bit into a big bite and in the ice cream itself was actual bubble-gum. it was both a choking hazard and a terrible flavor combination. that was the second time Frankensundae had let me down. the first time being their decision to not include a werewolf sundae. there was a Dracula themed one with strawberry syrup, a ghost one with marshmallow fluff but no werewolf. There would be so many options. Lycanthropecan? Loup Garootbeer-float? They missed out. Oh well, thanks for the ride down memory lane. See you in a month or so!
