Ben & Jerry's Razz Up Ice Cream

[New for May 2026, renamed in August 2026, Finally found in mid Oct 2026] 

So this flavor combo was announced back in May, we almost tried it at our local scoop shop back in July, and now it's got a new name to infuriate people who are overly bothered by two old dudes who like ice cream. May I jestfully present:

DQ Mystery Blizzard Buddies

[New for Fall 2026] So there was an image circulating on social media that my wife sent to me, and it showed five very cute Kawaii Blizzard Buddies and I thought "this is gonna be awesome". 

Not too long after that, we started seeing pictures of the real things and my urge to rush to DQ was greatly diminished.

We were finally in the mood for DQ, and because we didn't want to completely miss out on these, we headed out to pick up some blizzards and....

Bettergoods Seasonal Ice Cream Bites

[New for Fall 2026] You've probably noticed that I am far less willing to buy snacks that I'm not sure I will eat, but darn it, I just can't resist bringing both of these homes at $5.47 a piece. Which will I crack open first? Or will I just open them both now? Yeah... it's probably going to be both now. Let's open up...

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.

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:
