LaLoo's has rebranded as Funny Farm


All the local stores are pretty boring right now, but then I thought I spied a new brand of goat milk ice cream. Well, after a bit of investigation, I've discovered that Laloo's goat milk ice cream became LaLoo's by Funny Farm and now it's just Funny Farm (Foods).

West Coast (Tillamook) vs East Coast (Hood)


I know that neither one of these flavors might seem super interesting these days, so let's make it (potentially) interesting by putting them head to head to see which is better.

Friendly's Unicorn Sparkle Ice Cream Bars


[New for 2023] I know crunch coated ice cream bars don't have the same pizazz that they did decades ago (like everything else, they are made more cheaply now), but that doesn't mean that they still don't catch my attention. Case in point, the very fun looking....

DQ Oreo Brookie Blizzard


[New for Spring 2023] After a bit of afternoon shopping, it was food time. The lines were too long at Uhlman's, so we headed over to the nearest DQ to check out....

Turkey Hill Graham Slam Returns...


[Returning for 2023] Turkey Hill Graham Slam returns... as a frozen dairy dessert. That sentence makes me both happy and sad at the same time. In my 2015 review, I said they needed to get this one in Massachusetts, and here it is finally.... sort of...

Haagen-Dazs Strawberry Butter Cookie Cone


[New for Early 2023] It's very weird to walk past the Haagen-Dazs section every week and not see new pints. It just seems wrong... but thankfully I've started walking by these at least.

New on Shelves: Entenmann's Ice Cream Sandwiches


[New for 2023] Well, I just learned something new, but before we get to far, let me point out what's new on Walmart shelves. I was just running in for a few minutes when what do I see where I usually spy the new Van Leeuwan flavors? It's six new treats from Entenmann's!

Glazed Cookie Donut -- Chocolate Chip Cookie
(both with vanilla ice cream)
Brownie Cookie -- Chocolatey Glazed Cookie Donut
(both with salted caramel ice cream)

Chocolate Chip & Brownie Cookie -- Chocolate Glazed Cookie Donut

So many ice cream sandwiches! And will any of them tastes even remotely like donuts? I would have grabbed a few but for whatever reason, some of these have almond flour in the mix for the wafer/cookie part. I didnt feel like checking all of them, but I probably will at some point. There is also the chance of sesame, walnuts, and pecans being in the mix.

If cross contamination is not a factor, then which one would you grab first? I think the one that intrigues me most is the glazed cookie donut one. I think it will be fun.... or overly sweet... or both. I'd probably try the chocolate chip one second to see how they handle that classic combo. That and I adore chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches.

So what was the new thing I learned? Have you noticed either the stroopwaffle ice cream sandwiches or the festive ice cream sandwiches that walmart carries? Well, those items plus these new Walmart ones are all made by a company in Canada, the Sorrisa Group (link here).

Ok, that's all I got today. Let me know if these interest you!

New on Shelves:
Little Debbie Nutty Bars Ice Cream Bars


[New for 2023] Ok, who's going to Walmart to buy and try these for us?

Little Debbie Nutty Bars Ice Cream Bars

Made by Hudsonville Ice Cream ofcourse, I would assume that these are at least decent. They are 3 fluid ounces in size but only 2 ounces in weight and only 210 calories, so you might need to eat two of them. Crisp Quinoa is in the mix. I'd show the picture of the ingredient label but it's pretty blurry. Why am I rambling? 

I just realized that I haven't really been keeping up with the Little Debbie options from Hudsonville. How has everyone been enjoying them? Let us know!

Twix Cookie Dough Ice Cream


[New for Early 2023] Time to do something that I haven't done in a very long time.... I picked up a pint of ice cream on the way to the office! I first spied this flavor at Hannaford a few days ago and was just going to post the picture, but then I realized that I would have an opportunity to actually try it on Friday. Well, after stopping at a different Hannaford, it's time to break out the emergency spoon for...
