Wendy's Frosty Frights Part III

[New for September 2026] Why yes, my beloved Frosty Frights have returned for a third year! Woohoo!! I definitely had my favorites when I first saw the announcement on social media, but now that I have the main lineup in my possession (thanks to my wife), I think they're all great additions to the lineup.

Wendy's Frosty Frights - Part III

Blue Chip Creamery Life is Short(cake)

I've been mixing Market Basket back into my grocery trips and while I tend not to buy ice cream there (because people love leaving the doors open there), I couldn't help but buy a....

Jeni's Frosted Sugar Cookie Ice Cream

[New for 4/14/2026] I knew I wanted to bring back something different from the grocery stores today, but who knew which lone pint would be worthy of the "swell" ride home (aka in the pint cooler). Wegman's? tempting but no. Price Chopper? Nah. Whole Foods? Ok, we have a few options... wait, these Jeni's pints say new. I don't know if they are new new, but I need to buy one of those, right? Ok, let's bring home a $8.99 pint of....

Whole Foods C&C Sandwiches

This is one of those products that seems like it should be an easy win, but for whatever reason, gets lost in the freezer... and when I say lost, I mean LOST. Like bought in early 2025 and then finally tossed months ago in 2026 lost. Why do I do that? Well, I know why, it's because the basement freezer is a mess. Maybe 2027 will be better..... until then, let me show you what once was:

Nosh or Not: Hudsonville Dirt Cake

[New for 2026] I adore texture in my ice cream, I love trying new things, and it's got a fair price, but I just couldn't bring myself to try....

This one has been out since the beginning of the year, so hopefully a couple of you have tried it and can let us know if the Albanese "Gummies Stay Chewy!"

If you've ever had gummies in ice cream, feel free to share that too. I think gummies can be a sundae topping, but I've never tried that either.

Hot Pockets Apple Pie Snack Breaks

[New for 2026] I'm not 100% sure when my local Walmart started carrying the new Hot Pockets Snack Breaks, but I finally went by them slow enough to notice the apple pie version. Looking back, I do remember seeing the social media posts for this in the blue packaging, but I had totally forgotten about them until now. For $1.47, let's try a....

Aldi Ice Cream

[New for Mid 2026] I don't do much shopping at Aldi because it's (A) not convenient and (B) often cross contaminated. That said, I did want to see those two new fun pints that @candyhunting and others posted, so we ran in to grab a photo the other day. To my surprise, no cross contamination (that I noticed at the time!), and at $3.29 a pint, why not bring home....

Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream Bars

[New for 2026] Time to try the fourth of five new 2026 ice cream bars from Ben & Jerry's, though, some of us very vaguely remember them making a cookie dough bar at the beginning of this millenia. Anyway, we know this should be tasty, but let's dive into a box of....
