Nestle Red, White & Blueberry Drumstick

[Walmart Limited Edition for 2026] I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I miss real Drumsticks. They were a goto for me in the 200X years and definitely a more frequent guest during the first five years of this blog. The last non-traditional Drumstick review was in 2024 (the slurpee version) and then the last time I had an official, coated Drumstick was way back in 2015 (the butterfinger version). 

That's kind of crazy if you think about it. How did they go from being one of my favorite treats to nothingness? I blame the food science that is frozen dairy dessert. I do get tempted every year to bring a new box home, and then, finally, one day at Walmart not so long ago, I saw this eye catching box and decided to bring home...

Ben & Jerry’s Honey Graham Latte Ice Cream

[New for Spring 2026] No, coffee ice cream is not my thing, but when you put honey graham in the name, I couldn't help but grab a pint of....

Tillamook Strawberries & Cream Ice Cream

[New for very late 2025] I ran in to Shaws for an excuse to stretch my legs for a moment. Sure, I hoped for something new in the freezer aisle, but I wasn't really expecting to find anything, but then I saw it....

Target Favorite Day Ice Cream Seasonal Offerings

Wow, just shy of three years since I've talked about Target's favorite day ice cream. It just hasn't caught my attention recently, but then I saw these two weeks ago.

Ben & Jerry's Fudgy Flan Ice Cream

[New for Mid 2025] When I ran to Walmart for a few things before a day trip on Monday, I never expected to see something new. Not only is it new, but it maybe it'll even be different enough to get your attention. Lets dive in to....

McDonald's S'mores McFlurry

[June 10 to August 11, 2025] Except for Hot Cakes, I don't eat at McDonald's anymore... but as I was driving by one today, I saw a big poster for the S'mores McFlurry. Well, I do love S'mores, and it's been six years since I had a McFlurry, so it's time to order a....

Friendly's Jonas Brothers 20th Anniversary Ice Cream

[New for 2025] When I went to see if Friendly's was going to deliver something new this year, I really wasn't expecting a limited edition Jonas Brothers inspired flavor to be sitting at the top of the page. Apparently they've been fans of Friendly's since they were kids. You know I don't really do coffee ice cream, but let's take some scoops of....

Shake Shack Shakes

[Note: this is a review of past holiday flavors. The current line-up (for summer) is Campfire S'mores (new for 2020), Banana Pudding, and Oreo Cookie Funnel Cake (new for 2022)]

We did it! We finally made it to Shake Shack (way) back in December! You see, many (many) moons ago, Massachusetts didn't have any Shake Shacks, and that was sad, but then in March 2013, our first Shake Shack opened in Chestnut Hill, and that just happened to be where we were on one particular Sunday.

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Covered Strawberry

[New for Early 2025] I was a little concerned that this next flavor appeared to be a Valentine's flavor and yet was seemingly absent from store shelves on Valentine's day. Well, I was at Walmart this morning (2/27) when I found a dented pint sitting amongst all the other non-new flavors. Thankfully I spied one more pint hiding far behind it, and that one wasn't dented. Let's finally dive in to a flavor that should be right up my alley.

Tillamook Salty Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream

[New for Dec 2024] More new Tillamook! Woohoo! I'm pretty sure that I'm going to continue to eat a lot of Tillamook ice cream in 2025. Let's scoop in to....

Ben & Jerry's Minter Wonderland Ice Cream

[New for late 2018] I picked up this pint thinking that I could update my original review with a photo of the new packaging, but there's one problem.... I never actually reviewed this flavor!

Tillamook Apple Crisp Ice Cream

[New for Late 2024] While Market32 has been supplying us with all of our Tillamook Holiday Sugar Cookie needs, it was Market Basket that hooked me up with the new hotness. That's right, it's time to scoop in to...

Turkey Hill Barbie "Ice Cream"

[New for August 2024] Have you seen the new "Late Night" (faux) pints from Turkey Hill yet? I haven't, but I was surprised to find these two hiding in the freezer end cap. You all know I'm not a fan of frozen dairy dessert, but since these are probably limited edition, maybe I should bring one home...

Nestle Slurpee Drumstick

[New for 2024] So I did something that I havent done in a very long time on Friday.... I started my day with some true ice cream hunting and turned that hunt in to a fairly tasty breakfast. What did I have? Well, I headed to my local Speedway to try the new....

Sonic Oreo Big Scoop Cheesecake Blast & Sundae

[New for 2024] Wait, has it really been six years since my last Sonic review? (Ha, that review was about an Oreo product too!) Maybe we stopped by but there was nothing worth blogging about? I do check the menu on occasion but nothing ever really grabs my attention. Anyway, we had a little free time so we headed down to Sonic and tried....

Ben & Jerry's Marshmallow Sky Ice Cream

[New for Early 2024] I found the last of the new Ben & Jerry's flavors! Ok, technically I saw some of the renewed dairy-free options too today like Cherry Garcia, Peanut Butter Half Baked, and the Tonight Dough (which isn't updated on their website yet), but we'll get back to those later. For now, let's dive in to the blue goodness of.....

Friendly's Boston Cream Pie Ice Cream

[New for Early 2024] When I saw this flavor, it took awhile to convince myself that it was actually new. As a company that started in Massachusetts, how could Friendly's not have attempted this one sooner? Better late than never?

Van Leeuwen Kettle Corn Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2023] Hey, guess what? I remembered to read the flavor description before diving in to the (faux) pint today. Also, is everyone ok with all the Tillamook and Van Leeuwen reviews this year? Unfortunately the freezer aisle just isn't that exciting this year so mixing in these new (to me) brands has helped keep things going. Anyway, let's scoop in to...

Tillamook Peppermint Bark Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2023] Good news, I finally found the other new Tillamook holiday flavor! It seemed like every place kept getting the sugar cookie flavor but never this one, but no more!
