Ok bear with me... Has anyone tried this?
I bought it by curiosity and I have to admit I'm completely shocked at how much I like it. Except there was only a bit over 3 servings in the pint... but 220 calories and 22g of protein. I'll definitely buy it again when I stop at Wegman's or Whole Foods.vinegar_husbands wrote: »I went to the grocery store and stocked up on a bunch of different flavors.

Don't knock it until you try it!
I'll never try Artic Zero. But the Halo Top stuff actually tastes like ice cream (the vanilla one at least).0 -

Words cannot express my level of discontent.

Yeah, in spite of being a fake (aka dairy free) ice cream consumer myself, I'm going to second this. "Protein" and "ice cream" should never be found in the same sentence.
But it doesn't taste like protein stuff. Believe me, I've tried my share of weird protein powder concoctions... it really doesn't taste like it. It tastes like creamy vanilla, kinda in between frozen yogurt and ice cream. Seriously... it's good, lol. I found it way tastier than the Stonyfield vanilla frozen Greek yogurt that I got a couple weeks ago for some unknown reason. I mean, yeah, its not Talenti, but it's not that far off the regular vanilla Breyer's or Edy's, except the flavor seemed more intense to me.0 -
Jenis is recalled again.

Looks like they have some new flavors too Root Beer, Sweet Cream, & Sun-popped Corn.0 -

Things like that make me sad.
On my way to the store now, going to see if I find some Hershey's Kisses Caramel Bryers. I really shouldn't today after we went to the movies last night and split a medium popcorn which was more like an Extra large and between 3 of us we split a Berry Mike and Ikes, Welches Fruit Snacks and some sour candy. All together like 3 pounds of just candy.
That's the problem with candy. You can just eat and eat and eat and it never fills you up. Until you get sick.0 -
I just ran over to Dairy Queen for one of the salted caramel truffle blizzards-- highly recommend. It has a chocolate base, chocolate covered caramel truffles, chocolate shavings, and toffee pieces. Thought I was imagining the toffee at first but I googled and I was right.0

Because we need some better news...
Went to Kroger for the first time in a couple months and found this in the place where they were going to put Jeni's. It's a local-ish company too (Cincinnati, which is where Kroger's HQs are located) and does work with several restaurants in the city. This flavor is apparently a really popular one in New Zealand...vanilla base with honeycomb toffee swirls. It tastes like butterscotch to me and I'm in love.

Had to rush out this AM for coffee creamer and decided to pick up an old standby - Tillamook Marionberry Pie. Noticed that Breyer's Blast's were available at 2 for $7 and went with a girl scouts theme.
And a warm welcome (or welcome back) to the kitty cat!

The Kroger near my parents' house had the vanilla and chocolate, so I got the chocolate one. I only had a small spoonful, but it was great! Very chocolaty and definitely NOTHING like Arctic Zero. I want to find the lemon cake one. I'll have to keep a look out.0 -

It makes me super sad because they just opened a Jeni's shop in STL last week and it's already closed because of the recall before I got a chance to go!

Today I said screw it & went to Half Pint Creamery for lunch & got four big scoops of ice cream haha. I got Dunkaroo, Funfetti, Oreo n' Dough, & Cake Batter. It was $5.00 which wasn't too bad since the scoops were a decent size & they put it in a styrofoam cup & put a piece of a waffle bowl inside. Next I think I'll try the Dairy Queen Salted Caramel Blizzard since Acrylics gave it a good review.0

Went ahead and bought the Madisono's Hokey Pokey and it is delicious! I also had the chocolate Halo Top and that is really good as well. I put some dark chocolate covered coconut pieces on it and it was divine. I'm definitely a fan!0

Thanks to that picture I got one of my cupcakes out of the freezer to have tonight. I'm skeptical of this whole cake freezing thing, so we'll see.0

I approve of the Bavarian cream. I think it's what we got for my kids' birthday cake last year too. It was so delicious. So much better than plain boring buttercream.0 -
Apologies in advance for the lack of a picture...
Had the most amazing "Blizzard" from a local drive-in type ice cream stand this weekend.
"Whippy Dip" in Decorah Iowa. Go there. Now.
I ordered their version of the "Blizzard" (aka a "tornado") I got cookie dough and peanut butter cup mix ins.
So I knew it was going to be good, when a "small" started with the gal opening up a package of peanut butter cups and placing BOTH of them at the bottom of the cup. Then, she opened up a bucket of home-made cookie dough and used a small scoop to scoop out serving of REAL cookie dough (not those frozen fake little balls of cookie dough that most places use). What little room was left in the cup was filled with their soft-serve ice cream.
And then...just when you thought it couldn't get better...
After it was mixed in...they serve it topped with ANOTHER scoop of cookie dough and another peanut butter cup on top.
As a side note, they also have an amazing local craft brewery there "Toppling Goliath"...also highly recommended.0 -

So many words. So few pictures. You give me the sad!!!!
It's just so weird to see Ninja Turtles stuff coming back around.
I think TMNT is on it's 3rd or 4th iteration judging by what we find on YouTube. It came out when I was a kid in the 80s, but then there was another incarnation in the 90s, then I think the early 2000s, so apparently every decade it gains a new following. We've been entrenched in TMNT for about 2 years now and literally I thought we could not own any more merchandise, but they keep coming out with new characters or new versions of the same characters. Battle Mikey, regular Mikey, acro Mikey...
The frightening thing is that my kids aren't actually that into it anymore, we are on to Star Wars. Gee, no merchandise to purchase there...

I know I know...the thought occurred to me about 1/2 way through it "Oh fartknuckles...I forgot to take a pic of this for the ice cream group"
I considered ordering another just to take a pic
However, I shall gracefully accept my demerits for failing to do so.ceoverturf wrote: »Apologies in advance for the lack of a picture...

Don't get me wrong, there was enough ice cream in there to make it awesome. But yeah, it was certainly a 'I can't fit this into my calories every day' type of treat.0 -

What is it? I'm asking because I keep seeing people saying that fudge pops are awesome but I had one and... just nope. Tasteless and bland and a waste of calories, lol. Would love to hear of a good brand though!0

Totally not ice cream but definitely something I look forward to every year.
Homemade shortcakes with fresh strawberries from my garden. Topped off with a splash of half and half.

We've already done that (with berries from a farmer's market that ended up being way sweeter than the ones we usually get at a strawberry farm).0
