Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 26, 2010

Excellent choice..

I doubt there’s a bad choice.

I knew Popsicle Pete wasn’t that far away.

I didn’t realize thermal nuclear reactions could inspire such cool flavors!

Out of this world!

And of course, these give you that healthy “glow”…

A Hostess pie flavor tie-in with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was briefly named “Radioactive Goo.” They soon changed it to “Vanilla Puddin’ Power.” Gee, I wonder why.

Wash it down with Doc’s World Famous Nuclear Coffee and really get the party started.

I quit DOC TOON’S WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE 5 days ago and now I’m a newly reformed holier than thou pain in the rump. Just say no!

I’m with Red on the red one.

Years ago, on a trip to British Columbia, I had some “tiger” ice cream: a licorice and orange sherbet swirl. Yummy.

I wonder, do they still have that there? I’d hate to have to travel 3000 miles to get some ice cream and be disappointed. (OK, so “cream” is not involved, but you know what I mean.)

@pschearer actually, sherbet is also a cream/milk-based desert, it just typically lacks eggs and has less dairy than traditional ice creams. A full custard style ice cream typically uses both cream and eggs. Philladelphia style ice cream lacks eggs. Ices and sorbet have no dairy. Gelato has smaller ice crystals and is frequently the most dense (dairy required, eggs possible).

OK, so being a diabetic doesn’t mean I can’t fondly recall!!! ;>)

Thank you, WSFN, for the culinary tutorial, but for some reason, as often as I’ve encountered this knowledge over the years, it refuses to stick in my normally omniverous brain. But perhaps others will benefit.

As for Tiger (AKA Tigertail or Tiger-Tiger) ice cream, a few hits on Google lead me to believe it’s still available, but I have no idea why it seems to be Canadian only.

About the tiger icecream - there’s a Farr’s Icecreamery here in Utah where you build your own desserts and black licorice is indeed a delectable flavor choice. Next time I go I will swirl it with orange!

reminds me of a retired guy I knew when I worked at a c-store.He would get two ice cream cones and share one with his dog just like that.
