Visiting Gelato Fiasco


We did it, we finally made it to Gelato Fiasco after all these years! It's been six years since my last GF review, and to make up for that, we visited GF Tuesday night on our way up through Maine, and then Wednesday night on our way back home. Let's see if this stuff is even better in person (but come on, you know it will be).

Goodpop Cookies N' Cream Ice Cream Bars


[New for Late 2024] I bought these during the lull between finishing up 2024 and waiting for 2025... and then 2025 tackled us with new stuff and these got buried in the downstairs freezer. Well, let's get a quick review of...

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....

7-Eleven Ice Cream - Birthday Cake and Brookie Dough


Oh my gosh, it's been **6 years** since I've reviewed a pint of 7/11 ice cream! See, the downside of working from home is that you lose a lot of daily diversity in your life. For example, I can't stop at 7/11 on the way to work anymore. However, I was returning from an early morning drive when I passed by one that doesn't usually have a very good selection, but they did have a 2 for $10 sale. They had pints of strawberry banana and banana cream pie (sorry, but no thank you), and they also had...

McConnell's Sweet Cream Caramel Brownie Ice Cream


I know my street cred has always been lacking a proper pint of the well regarded McConnell's in the mix, but that ends today! I splurged on an $8 pint from Wegman's so that I could test my Swell Ice Cream Chiller. Well, it brought the pint home safe and sound. Time to try....

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....

More Dr. Bombay Flavors?


[New for Mid 2025] I can't believe I'm saying this, but two more Dr. Bombay flavors will be showing up at your local Walmart! I don't know who is buying these, but someone is!

Sticky Caramel Apple is green apple sherbet and caramel ice cream with crunchy peanuts and salted caramel swirls.

Long Beach Fruit Cart is mango sherbet and coconut ice cream with pineapple pieces and spiced mango swirls.

Are you interested by either of these at four bucks a pint? Maybe you've seen them? I'll admit that they are certainly creative sounding, but with their track record, it's still not enough to bring me back in the Dr. Bombay fold. What do you think?

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Cake Ice Cream


[New for 2024] I bought this because it feels like forever since I've had Van Leeuwen in the freezer. Also, "ice cream cake".
