Talenti Italian Tiramisu Gelato Layers

[For 2025 only?] Because I don't really do coffee ice cream (or gelato), I was in no rush to try this one, but it was on sale for $3.99 sometime over the summer, so I grabbed a faux pint of....

What's your favorite new flavor of 2025?

It;s not countdown time quite yet, but I have a related question. What's your favorite new pint (or container) of ice cream been this year? I know what mine is.

This one worked it's way to the top of my 2025 favorites list.

Promised Land Cookies & Cream Flavored Milk

[New for 2025] My local Wegman's seems to be the place to find limited edition Promised Land flavored milks. Not only did I find a couple of containers of the returning Old-Fashioned Eggnog flavor, but I also spied the new....

Rice Krispies Treats Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches

[New for 2025] I finally found these right before I got covid, but after realizing my taste buds weren't at 100%, I had to hold off on trying these. I don't expect anything amazing, but a dulling of strawberry flavor might be enough to make me not like these. Well, I'm mostly better now (I think), so let's try....

Best Milkshake that I've had in a long time

We were short on time and needed a place to hang out for an hour. I really wasnt expecting to have the best milkshake that I've had in a long time. Other places need to take notes from Tasty's Bagels because this is how you make a proper...

Wendy's Frosty Frights 2025

[New for 2025] I'm sorry, I was so busy being sick that I totally spaced on showing you the newest members of my beloved Frosty Frights collections.

Wendy's 2025 Frosty Frights Lineup

(the normal non-glowing versions)

Top Row: Ice Patch, The Yummy, Purrrma Frost

Bottom Row: Captain Coldsnap, Meltin, Chilly Gilly

Big thanks to my wife for collecting all of these for me again this year. She actually picked them up at the beginning of the month. We did debate which one is coolest, and while they are all cool, we think Ice Patch and Chilly Gilly are the coolest.

For the record, I still have all of the 2024 Frosty Frights hanging out on my desk too.

I bought a carton of Breyers ice cream...

Our schedule of eating ice cream in the house has definitely changed as we get older. I cant even remember the last time that I had ice cream three times in one day..... but seriously, ice cream changed and so did we. I'm still all over the place in terms of what I grab from the freezer, but my wife has gone back to mainstream ice cream as her daily driver. For the most part, this meant Turkey Hill ice cream, but something changed very recently. Cholesterol and saturated fat are now gone from their frozen dairy dessert! Skim milk is now the main ingredient, and then that is mildly supported by milk and coconut oil whereas they were using regular milk with a dash of nonfat milk mixed in. Polydextrose was replaced by maltodextrin, which is probably why the fiber count dropped to zero as well. What does all that mean? Well, it means that for the first time in over four years, I bought a carton of...
