More Haagen-Dazs Cultured Cremes

News: Would you rather....

[New for Fall 2024] Unfortunately I am unable to hunt for ice cream right now, so let's play a game of "Would you rather" for two new tropical milkshakes. First up, we have the new Witch Please Shake from Jack in the box. It's Ube flavored and has crushed Oreos in the mix.

And then we have the new Double Pineapple Mini Shake from Del Taco. It's vanilla shake layered with diced pineapple and topped with pineapple flavoring.

Now, I don't love pineapple, and I've never had Ube, but Marvo did review the Jack in the box shake and said it basically tastes like coconut. He also mentioned that it's not very purple and you can't taste the Oreo (read the full review here). So based on that, I think maybe I'd try the double pineapple first, if only because the menu photo looks like it's some kind of fun peach milkshake.

So, which would you rather try? Or is there a better tropical shake that I'm missing here?  Technically the very limited "Tropical Lime" Taco Bell Mtn Dew Baja Blast Gelato might still be available to some of us, has anyone tried it?

[HAHAHA, I just read a review of someone who didn't want to try the gelato because they didn't want to pay $4 for it. They said that they could get a gallon of ice cream for four dollars instead. Oh man, I would not eat ice cream that costs four dollars a gallon hehehehe - in theory they meant container of ice cream for four dollars, but it was still funny to read]

I know banana ice cream isn't really my thing, but I'd be tempted to try this one if I could. If anyone out there has had it or is going to get it, let the rest of us know how it is!

News: Wendy's Frosty Frights Toys!

[New for Sept 2024] It's the kids meal toy you never knew you needed, until now!

Are these not amazing? It's been a rough week but I saw these and these new Wendy's kids meal toys put a huge smile on my face. I think maybe they reminds me of the old transforming McDonald's toys that looked like McDonald's menu items. 

Their names are Franken Frosty, Frosty Bite, Coolie Ghoulie, Brrr Beast, Cold Spell and Junior.

The press release says 11 in all, but it's six designs with five having color variations. For example, on instagram, I saw a grey version of franken frosty and a green version of coolie ghoulie. Junior doesn't have a color variation, but does have a skeleton costume sticker.

So, do these amuse you as much as they amuse me?

10/19 Update: We know have all six!
