1. As one kid didn’t you wish yo’ mama would let you eat da cookie dough while you wuz making cookies? Cuz had times, right, when da dough would taste bettah than da actual cookie!

In da photo get scoops of cookies n cream, red velvet chocolate chip, and chocolate chip, but there’s over two dozen flavors in rotation. Da only garanz ballbaranz flavor dey always make? Da most popular flavor and da flavor that started it all … chocolate chip. $5 for 3 scoops.

5. Before time, my Uncle Alvin used to tease people who thought dey wuz bettah than everybody else. “What, he tink he poop ice cream?” is what he would tell. So in my mind, pooping ice cream wuz never one good ting.
But what do I know? Apparently pooping ice cream is no longer one purely metaphoric activity.
