Cold Stone Creamery New Holiday Flavors


[New for Nov 2024] My wife offered to bring home shakes from Cold Stone on Tuesday, so it seemed like a good time to check their website to see what's new. It looks like they have two new flavors right now, Double Chocolate Malt and....

KLIMON Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert


[Reformulated for 2024] Do you remember when KLIMON hit Walmart in 2022? At the time, they had 5 flavors that used an almond base, so I never brought them home to try. Well, I got an email from them a few weeks ago asking if I wanted to check out their reformulated lineup, and I thought, why not? Their 11 current flavors are made in a facility where nuts are present, but I asked for the flavors that didn't specifically contain any nuts, so they sent over....

Would you try a GummiCone?


[New for November 2024] On Wednesday, at Conecon in Atlanta, Mojoz unveiled a new kind of cone that also works on not just ice cream and softserve, but also for Italian Ice (or Polish ice, shaved ice, water ice, etc).

Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches


We went to Roche Bros for first time in a long time in hopes of introducing my wife to those delicious Good Batch ice cream sandwiches that I tried back in the August 2022 (review here). Unfortunately they were gone, but in their place was a whole variety of treats from Nightingale Ice Cream sandwiches. Here's what we picked for $4.49 a pop:

DJ Khaled Another Bun Nesquik


[New for August 2024] Back in June, when they announced that DJ Khaled was the newest spokesperson for Nesquik, they teased that something was in the works...

So the reason the blog has been so quiet is that I broke my right foot at the beginning of September and have been unable to walk (and let alone drive) for the last several weeks. Well, the boot is off and I made my first test drive to my local Walmart. 

I've been on a weird strawberry milk kick for the last two weeks, but when I went to pick up more, I found the new DJ Khaled Another Bun Nesquik. If you didn't know, he's a huge ice cream fan (just look up DJ Khaled ice cream freezer).

Anyway, another bun is decent. It could be stronger in flavor, but it's better than those Nestle Sensations drinks they put out. I don't know if I'll crave drinking this flavor, but I do kind of want to buy another one and pour it in to a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch (or other tasty cinnamon cereal).

On Second Sip: I couldn't help myself and bought another one. It's not bad, but my wife pointed out that it tasted a little watered down, and she's right. It's still better than the alternatives, but I probably won't buy a third one....

Verdict?  decent
Buy Again?  maybe probably not

Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge


[New for 1994] Whenever there is a big sale on Ben & Jerry's, I like to treat myself to a pint or two of the good stuff. I might pick up one of my current favorites, or I might pick up something that I haven't had in forever so that I can take new pictures and add a quick update to an old review (here is a random example). Well when I picked up this pint well over a month ago, I didn't realize that I had never had it on the blog before... like, seriously, how has this 30 year old ice cream not been on the blog?
