I recently bought some Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars at the grocery store. I don’t really eat many sweets so it had been a long time since I had one of these. The thing was delicious. I was looking forward to eating the last little bit of ice cream that surrounds the wooden stick. As I put it in mouth, I tasted something awful. It was the wooden taste of the stick itself. I think that by now, they should have invented a wooden stick that doesn’t taste like wood.
Absolutely not. The wet wood taste at the end of the ice cream bar is the best part!
They should make the stick out of celery or something. Then you can tell yourself you’re eating vegetables.
Oh, Ugh. Have you ever seen what happens to celery if it freezes and starts to thaw?
They should make the sticks out of a reinforced lattice of cookie.
If that’s the best, I’d recommend switching to tongue depressors. They’re cheaper and have fewer calories. 
Damn, I was hoping this was going to be a thread asking us to finish the phrase “They can put a man on the moon, but they can’t…”
…put a man on the sun.
…put a face on the moon.
…put the moon on the sun.
I have no comment on ice cream sticks.
I meant this to be a thread about things that should have been improved or invented by now. A wooden ice cream bar stick that doesn’t taste like wood was clearly the most obvious example.
Well they could use a plastic stick, but that would be really bad for the environment. Eat Klondike bars, no stick at all
Not celery. Not a plastic stick. Not wood. Big straight pretzels.
Bring Stalked?

Why can’t we put Dubya on the moon? (And why couldn’t we have done that eight years ago?)
We used to be able to put a man on the moon… Now we rely on CGI for all that sort of thing…

Bad idea. I believe some people would end up eating the stick.
Actually, this would be an excellent method for eliminating idiots. I like the way you think!
They could go at night.
Damn, that’s a good idea! It would have to be way strong to prevent crumbling, though.
They can put a man on the moon, but they can’t… make our teeth heal or regenerate themselves. I kind of hoped they would by now.
Bring sticked.
I already do, most of the time. Well, I don’t actually ingest the stick, but I do keep on biting it until it splinters. Good for the teeth (this causes saliva production, cleaning the sugary ice cream away), less so for the gums and tongue!
tdn, why can’t they freeze pizza? Or was that the joke - Ben didn’t know frozen pizza existed?
