On the Nutritional Info page of the site: The Standard Serving Size is half a cup.
Is that the standard serving size at your house? (It sure isn’t at mine.)
[/QUOTE]
Half a cup looks about right to me!
I stopped at a roadside convenience store/ice cream shop/cafe last summer. And they had Jack Daniels ice cream…man that was good. And I don’t drink Jack Daniels or anything, just the touch of alcohol, barely enough to taste, brought out the flavors of the vanilla and the chocolate swirl stuff. I believe it’s all about the alcohol dissolving the non-polar flavor compounds and delivering them to your taste buds. So yeah, Jack Daniels.

If you don’t like their MO, the correct response would be to not go there again. End of story.

I believe I’ve mentioned once or twice that that is exactly what I plan to do.

There are untold numerous other ice cream establishments that will kiss your ass the way you seem to desire.
[/QUOTE]
Yep. I go there now.
But will they kiss his ass and call it ice cream?
No, but they might slap his ass and call him Sally…
I may not be your ultimate consumer sheeple, but I don’t expect kiss-ass when I go out for ice cream. It adds nothing to the experience.
Does anybody still go out for ice cream just because they want to eat ice cream? Or is that what the grocery stuff is for?
BTW, I could never quite get with Turkey Hill. I get visions of vanilla swirled with that acrid brown grease at the bottom of the pan, perhaps with dry white breast meat and gristle for mix-ins.
Goddamn I wish the Cold Stone here would hurry up and reopen.
But tomorrow is payday, and there’s a Haagen Daz place just a block or two from the bank. Mmm, ice cream…

I don’t go out for ice cream, but sometimes if the mood strikes me I will stop at Baskin Robbins while driving by.

I drove through the new shopping center today and saw the sign. I can’t wait either!

Whenever I see these American sphincter bursting raves about minor infractions I wonder how you guys travel overseas without having a stroke. You are so tightly wound.

We don’t go overseas, for that is where foreigners live.

My wife - the ice cream connoiseur [sp?] - really likes Homemade Brand.
[/QUOTE]
I gotta tell you, Dinsdale, that website was kinda surreal. Ice cream and gasoline. Color me intrigued! Or confused! Either way. Makes me no never mind. 
Shoot - forgot to add - the one reason I really love my job at this point is because there’s an Oberweis right down the street - and there’s nothing like half a gallon of chocolate chip ice cream for lunch. And they have a drive through!

When I’m in the mood for something precious, I reach for Ms. Malienation, not Cold Stone ice cream.

I do. There are a couple of great ice cream parlors withing easy walking distance of my new house and when it is nice and my 7 year old son is visiting we go for a walk, greet the new neighbors, enjoy the community and top it off with a couple of scoops of something yummy.
Walking and ice cream=excellent combination. Walk far enough and your i-keem is essentially zero net calories.
So 5 blocks each way makes up for two scoops with nuts and whipped cream?
I have no numbers here, but 5 blocks has to mean less net calories than 0 blocks, no?
Never was a big Cold Stone fan since it’s way overpriced to what’s available here at ice cream stands and is more about the add-ins than the actual ice cream.
However, there was that classic Ham on the Street episode where the host brought his own add-ins and tried to persuade customers to try flavors like Roasted Garlic or Gorgonzola Cheese.
Hey, Gabe has every right to not go to places that bother him.
But I think it’s really pathetic that he writes places off after ONE bad visit. Christ, do you expect every corporation to have perfect customer service from every single employee every time? Hell, they might have fired the employee because they felt you were right in your complaining, but you’d never know. Damn man, grow a pair, life doesn’t revolve around you.
[QUOTE=Elza B]
Besides, as others have said, they don’t HAVE particular pre-made flavors. If someone orders mint chip, but the person behind the counter makes it with vanilla ice cream and mint chocolate chips, as opposed to the mint ice cream and plain chocolate chips that the customer wants, then you’ve got a fuck-up anyway. I’m sorry, but I don’t think it’s that fucking difficult for the customer to say “I’d like one scoop mint ice cream with chocolate chips for a mix-in in a waffle cone.”
[/QUOTE]
Sounds like the counter girl didn’t do a good job of expaining that, tho’. Poor communication on both sides?

I love uranium oxide as much of the next guy, but I don’t want it in my ice cream.
