Haagen-Dazs Irish Cream Brownie Ice Cream

[New for 2019] Good news for our spirit enjoying friends out there. I was thinking that the Spirits line was dead for 2022 because, well, it tends to not get much love in grocery stores. Well, I was wrong! The more popular flavors are being rolled in to the main HD lineup. The flavors transitioning are bourbon praline pecan, bourbon vanilla bean truffle, rum tres leches and...

Baskin-Robbins Milkshakes

Ok, let's start with the bad news: no more BR reviews for awhile since the insiders program has been suspended. Man, I'm going to miss those happy boxes arriving every month!
