Just had a new one, “High Road”, and it was AMAZING – maybe the best store bought ice cream I’ve ever had. Had the Super Chocolate and Strawberry flavors, and they were both great. What are some other great ice cream brands that I might not have heard of? I’d never heard of this one until I saw it at the store today. ---

I hate you. Why do you do these things to torment me? (Bunny Tracks, that’s all I’m saying) ---

> [@nightshadea](#): > > ive always wanted to try that magnum ice cream just to see if its worth 4.00 a stick (they have a fw single “pop” versions at a few convenience stores by me ) Those Magnum things are not good. Cheap icecream pops are better. IMO. I like cheap icecream sandwiches too. I’m just cheap, I guess.🙂 ---

> [@nightshadea](#): > > ive always wanted to try that magnum ice cream just to see if its worth 4.00 a stick (they have a fw single “pop” versions at a few convenience stores by me ) I like the magnum double caramel bars quite a bit. Not so much because the ice cream is particularly good (it’s good, just not special, IMO), but because of the unusual construction – vanilla ice cream, then chocolate, then caramel, then chocolate again on the outside. Very tasty. ---

The best gelato I’ve had isn’t available at a store, it’s from a gelato place which also sells large-ish containers you can take home. You might want to see if your local ice cream/gelato places do that too. ---

I think Talenti is pretty good. I like the containers, the lids screw on, which makes it slightly easier to not treat it as a single serving. 🙂 ---

Not so much because the ice cream is particularly good (it’s good, just not special, IMO), but because of the unusual construction – vanilla ice cream, then chocolate, then caramel, then chocolate again on the outside. Very tasty. +1 on this and Talentii gelato. The raspberry Magnum bars are a little less sweet, but they’re really good, too. ---

I live in California. While I was in Columbus OH at a convention I discovered the joy of Jeni’s Salted Caramel ice cream, and fell in love with it to the point that when I found it at a local upscale supermarket for $12.95 a pint, I bought one. Twice. Haven’t bought any for a while, but damn that stuff is good. It’s one of the things I’m looking forward to at my convention this year. ---

> [@zoid](#): > > I’ve tried a few Talenti and the container is the best part Concur. I keep stopping at that section of the freezer - I want another one of those fucking containers! - but move on without buying. None of the offered flavors interests me. ---

I like it but not that much. Jeni was on an episode of some Youtube show where food experts do blind taste tests. She had to pick out which ice cream was more expensive. I thought it was pretty interesting. ---

I live here in Columbus and Jeni’s would be my answer. I’m not a big fan of the salted caramel but it is one of her signature flavors that the brand has become known for. Right now one of my favorites is the cream puff pint. The pistachio and honey is also superb. The Queen City Cayenne is also really nice with the kick of the cayenne pepper on the back of the throat. 🙂 They do online orders with shipping. 🙂 MeanJoe ---
