Now on to the main course:
There is some back story to my ice cream story. I'm lactose intolerant. I didn't find "lactose pills" until I was 18 or 19. I still ate ice cream, but it made me sick and poop. I would eat superman ice cream on occasion. Orange sherbet was a favorite. If my dad went to Dairy Queen, I always got a twist in a cup. In college (some of my fattest days, I believe) I figured out how to use the on campus convenience stores with my "flex" money. There, I found my beloved:
OMGITWASSOGOOD. Sadly, it WAS. They discontinued it sometime around my junior year those bastards. I LOVED that ice cream. It made me sick and I still ate half of it in an evening and the other half the next day and wanted more. If that ice cream had made bits of my legs fall off... this couch would be a wheelchair and I would have no regrets.
Last year Starbucks came out with chocolates. Or at least, I found them last year. I held off buying the Caramel Macchiato ones until they went on sale. They never went on sale. Sometimes after Christmas, I found them for less at Big Lots. They were a minor disappointment.
Starbucks also makes ice cream and just like the coffee, it's a bit much for a pint. Last night, it was on sale for $2 at Walmart. I rock-paper-scissored JD over it and I bought it.
OMGITISSOGOOD! It's just like One Sweet Whirled except it doesn't have marshmallow which, if we're being honest here, was always a wash. Go to Walmart and spend the $2 because you will not be disappointed.
I just had a conversation with a fellow blogger about how I lie and say I have a Snuggie all the time when I really don't! Props to you for telling the truth. Someone should really send you a Snuggie.
ReplyDeleteEspecially because eating ice cream, while magically delicious, can make a person quite cold indeed.
