Yesterday a local radio station was asking a question for callers to answer. I found the reasoning behind the answers to be very insightful. So pick your answer and please state why you made that decision.
Poop-flavoured ice cream, because there’s no way I’m eating actual poop.
I’ll have the kosher meal, and iced tea, unsweetened.
Ditto.
I’ll have the ice cream flavored like ice cream flavored poop.
I’ve done some of the oddball Jelly-Bellies so food made to taste disgusting isn’t something new to me. I’ll go with the flavored ice-cream.
Poop-flavored ice cream. It’s going to be a horribly disgusting experience either way, so I’ll go with the one that isn’t bodily waste that could make me very ill.
Obviously the real answer would be “neither”, but if I was forced to do one or the other I would go for the ice cream flavored poop - because I wouldn’t have too hard a time convincing myself it isn’t actual poop. Seriously there’s no way real poop would taste like that, so I would conclude you’re pranking me with cosmetically altered ice cream. Whereas with poop flavored ice cream I would still totally believe it was ice cream - just really really nasty ice cream. Which is totally plausible that some jerk would make, and something that I’d rather not put myself through.
Additional thoughts:
I’m assuming that the ice cream flavored poop also has a similar texture and mouthfeel to ice cream, on the grounds that it would be a poor imitator of ice cream flavor if the act of putting it in your mouth without knowing what it is still makes you puke.
I confess I’m merely assuming that poop tastes bad - I’ve never actually tried it. Oddly enough I don’t feel the need to experiment.
What flavor is “ice cream”?
How is the ice cream flavored like poop? Obviously by mixing poop into it.
Either way, you’re eating poop.
I dunno, unless it’s artisanal poop ice cream, they’re probably using artificial poop flavoring. :dubious:
Now I’m afraid to google whether that’s actually a thing.:eek:
ETA: highlighted portion was not intentional pun, but now I like it too much to reword it.
I’m on a diet and I’m always hungry.
Anyway I could get both?
You can have mine.
Ice cream. It might be disgusting, but the poop would be toxic no matter how it tasted.
Eh, no, you can make that flavor like you make any other flavor: Pick a few pungent/distinctive chemicals out of the mix and add them to the ice cream. Those chemicals on their own aren’t “poop” any more than water is “poop”, even though water is an important component of fresh feces. You could even find a chemical which isn’t (normally) in poop but which still tastes like it to a sufficient extent and just use that.
Think about the poor taste tester when they were making this product.

“This ice cream almost tastes like shit; it needs more ___; go try again. I’ll be here waiting.”
I picked poop-flavored ice cream. There are numerous ways you can deaden your taste buds enough to not taste the poop flavor.
If it tastes like ice cream, why would I care if it’s actually poop? Is it warm, smelly and covered in flies? I doubt that would taste much like ice cream.
Given that it’s a fictional substance, I’m not so sure we can assume that it will have the same germs and health concerns that real poop has. Poop-flavored ice cream, while fictional as far as I know, is entirely possible to create today. But ice-cream flavored poop is a magical dish that only exists in my imagination, which means I can say it’s cold, creamy, chocolatey and healthy. So ice-cream flavored poop it is.
This is exactly what I’d expect someone to tell me if they were trying to convince me to eat poop-flavored ice cream. I ain’t buying it.
Then stop drinking water.
To be honest, I don’t really know what poop tastes like. Sure, I imagine it ought to taste vile. But unlike an apparently large number of people, I haven’t actually tried any poop.
But the idea of all the germs and possibly other unhealthful substances in poop would turn me off from eating any flavor of poop, even ice cream flavor.
