Wendy's Caramel Crunch Frosty Fusion

[New for 2025] This is the frosty fusion that I was most excited for, especially after enjoying the frosty swirl version. My car says it's 106 degrees, so yeah, it's time to try...

Muddy Bites : Girl Scout Coconut Caramel

[New for 2025] We were doing our cookie and cracker whole foods run when I spied these brandy new muddy bites. I was just going to grab a picture, but then I thought, nah, let's give 'em a shot even though I don't really like coconut. It's time to open up a bag of....

Kellogg's Strawberry Poptart Ice Cream Sandwich

[New for 2025] The Rice Krispy and Poptart ice cream sandwiches must be very popular at my local Walmart because I never see more than a few boxes of one lone item whenever I run through the freezer aisle.  I am still hunting for the other RKT, but until then, let's take a big ol' bite of...

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....

DQ Superman Cake Batter Cookie Dough Blizzard

[New for June 2025] Who's excited for the new Superman movie? I know I am, as our several people I know. I'm hoping we get back to what makes Superman such a great character. I've just never dug the Henry Cavill / Zach Snyder version of Superman (though I am a huge fan of the Tyler Hoechlin version). Anyway, before the movie comes out next month, the blizzard is here now!

DQ Confetti Cake Blizzard

[Returning for April 2024] You might remember my post from several weeks ago where we went to DQ and I was served the Cotton Candy blizzard instead of the Confetti Cake blizzard. Well, we made it back on 4/26 and I was able to try...

DQ Confetti Cake Blizzard

So, yeah, it's fine...ish, but it just didn't pop in any way. Cotton Candy Blizzard pops. The Sugar Cookie Blizzard popped. This blizzard just went "meh" when I tried it. Maybe I wanted big fluffy chunks of cake rather than small pieces of cake. Hopefully yours will be a bit more exciting.

At least it was better than the Superman blizzard I tried.

Verdict?  meh
Buy Again?  meh

State of the Freezer Address - 17th Anniversary Edition

How in the world am I still hanging around the internet blogosphere after all these years? OCD? Not knowing when to let things go? Nerdy love of cataloging things? All of the above?!

The current state of the freezers is: upstairs boring, downstairs chaotic/full. Despite my best efforts, I continue to buy more ice cream than I can consume (at my age anyway). I think I still love ice cream, and I was excited at how the year started, but I'm losing momentum again already.

The upstairs freezer (aka the fridge in the kitchen, circa May 2025)
