@Brian Lam: But what kind? Why do you just leak out little pieces of this information out at a time? Is he a chunky-monkey kind of guy? Does the Moss give out Peace Pops? *shakes fist*

@"Kramen": Well, this little red bean, vanilla fishy is what's been in my freezer. There's only one left...to eat it or leave it? Selfish or selfless?
Curse you ice cream and your moral temptations.

WAHWAHWAH!

How is this a gadget related post!

WAAAAH!

Pshaw. Iced-cream is yummilicious! My flavorite was mascarpone gelato. YUMMY!

@Brian Lam: Oh Brian! How you make my day with ice cream. I had ice cream last night and today and all these ice cream posts keep a girl happy.

Kramen loves her MBP

Does that "science" stuff mean I can't use this as a reason to be smug that I don't have a cell phone?
Oh well, I can still enjoy the ice cream.

The best ice cream (gelato, actually) I've ever had was cheesecake. It was even better than actual cheesecake. Amazing stuff.

Israeli scientists discovered that bees were being hit by a virus. So, everyone can calm down. As for this flavor of ice cream, it's "okay", try the caramelized pear with almonds, it's 1000 times better.

Open_universe

apparently, a lot of the research goes on at Penn State University. Hagen Dazs threw a couple hundred grand at the creamery on campus.

@92BuickLeSabre: As your lawyer, I recommend against it.

As a guy who likes to laugh at the suffering of others, gorge away. Ice cream will cure lactose intolerance and celiac disease.

@The Incredible OMG! Ponies!: I like that, "junk science".

I've had people storm my office because they said I will give them cancer because of a recent WiFi network installation. I didnt even know what to say...

@OMG! Ponies!: Does that mean I can't eat a whole bunch of this ice cream?!?

Please spread fact not FUD.

Cell-phone radiation was largely discounted as a cause of CCD months ago. If one puts a hive that suffered CCD on top of a healthy hive, the lower hive will also suffer CCD. Cellphone radiation cannot cause that. CCD is currently thought to be caused by either mites or other microorganisms.

What CCD does illustrate is the dangers of celebrities glomming onto causes without doing research. While I enjoy Bill Maher, his fearmongering of cell-phone radiation and its purported link to CCD was a prime example of celebrity-fueled junk science. And no, he doesn't talk about it anymore.

The Incredible OMG! Ponies!

...I still want to know what kind of ice cream Mossberg served. Ice Cream! Here's to all the ice cream posts!

I only wish the "shrinking bee population" referred to the size of the bees.

I will eat much of this! For the good of the bees and the good of my rumbly-tummy!

92BuickLeSabre

It was that good? Probably better than the Green Tea McFlurry that's being sold here.
As for the bees, my guess is the expanding concrete jungle.

@92BuickLeSabre: Tru nuf. I stand corrected.

It's my fault for not getting up to the Boogie Down more often, if only to take in one more game at the House That Ruth Built.

Yeah OMG! Ponies!, Kaiser-Machead' is right. What kind of NY'er leaves out Coco Helado? Especially pineapple-lime.

92BuickLeSabre

@The Incredible OMG! Ponies!: I'm a fan of the Helado de Coco from the cart on the street myself. I LOVE that stuff.

As for cell phone radiation messing with the bees, I read as a kid that bees navigate visually, and can actually see the polarized light of the sun to use for direction.

Kaiser-Machead's got LindsayJoy's cookies on the SuperDrive

Just how good does this taste compared to their vanilla vanilla anyhoo?

LOL Lam, love them Hagen Dazs too.
But they are so freaking expensive in Brazil...

My favorites are Belgian Chocolate, Macadamia (not shure but I think both are Brazilian exclusives) and Green Tea (had it in Japan).

After finishing one pint, I went back to the store, and bought the remaining quantities on the shelf.

So what did your month old Wii Fit think of this?

WMyers

Vanilla Swiss Almond comes in Honey-bee-saving-ness and I feel infinitely better about myself when I buy it. Good marketing for ice cream, I say.

jhuang

I also obsess over this icecream. However, all mine is free! Yay, power outage!

Khuluna

I believe they are not special flavors.They just changed the packaging to make people aware of the honey bee issues.So don't worry it's not a limited edition. It should always be there,for the pleasure of my palette muehehe

Sunatic

@The Incredible OMG! Ponies!: i don't know if i can get behind a guy with "Incredible" in his name. Now Bill Maher, there's a man who screams ... something.

@xint: you should say "good, we've got a lot redundancy around here with all the stupid and what not."

@Open_universe: just try and make it up with a few "will it blend?" and "what does this have to do with gadgets" posts.

Paradise

Oooh, must try.

@Brian Lam
I think you meant "palate".

Anyway, loved the post 100x better than those other things you guys post on slow days.

It's not like Ben and Jerry's is exactly up with all the social awareness they'd like everyone to believe... After all, I haven't heard anything about profits from Cherry Garcia going towards helping Deadheads with fuel or weed costs before Garcia died.

lol apparently digg is the place to go to find out the names of fantastic exotic ice creams that i have yet to sample (and by "sample" i mean gorge upon with a furious anger)

How to make the best ice cream in the known universe.
1. Go somewhere snowy in over Christmas. Wait for a large cold fluffy snowstorm. Collect a BIG tupperware container of white dreamy-ness while drinking Baily's and cold coffee.
2. place snow in a deep freeze-type thingy for transport home.
3. Have sex in front of a fire.
4. Take snow home. Don't let it get warm, it will turn to water!
5. Save it until your birthday, preferably July 20th.
6. Mix it with cream sugar and vanilla until it taste good. You'll know.
(the magic number)7! Eat it. Remember snow, Baily's, and the sexy! Yummm
The cold snow crystallizes the milk fats very quickly and make the best IC. So does that cold gas stuff (blanking out) but not as much fun.
My mom used to save snow for my birthday every year. I miss her. But not in a sexy way. More in a I-miss-my-Mom way.

I think bee's hate cellphones, I got stung by 2 bees when they happened to land on my hand at the same time that some sadistic dude decided to call me ( the cellphone was in my hand)

The phone rang and the bitches bit me!!!

my hand looks like hell boy's hand, except that its not red...

pradster

@Brian Lam: Am I still able to use my own scoop at home or do I have to use the stores scoop in the store and then take it home? What if I get it directly from the ice cream store, surely I can take it home and eat it becuase none of their staff are certified to sign me up for a re-occuring double scoop... right?!? What if I want to buy the ice cream as a gift, they certainly cannot expect me to eat it right then and there when its for someone else? Damn these subsidized ice cream prices and policies against scooping at home!

@jsmjr816: I see what you are talking about!

@strider_mt2k: Chocolatey taint chocolate? Golden taint? Sweet taint? Flavored men's taint?

Dude, this is a kids' site. Mind your language. Oh, wait... I was mistaken.

Folks, this is what happens when you comment before having coffee.

The Incredible OMG! Ponies!

Honey or Honey-flavored?

My appetite can be greatly influenced by the fact that I understand adspeak.

Chocolatey AINT chocolate

Sweet AINT sugar

Golden AINT gold

and

*-flavored means AINT *

strider_mt2k

@OMG!!! Ponies!!!: Yes, have some...

strider_mt2k

I just had some last night, very tasty. Although they need to work on their butter pecan a bit more. Tastes too much like straight vanilla with pecans.

And on another note...

@OMG!!! Ponies!!!: Please have the strongest dark roast you can get.. Stat!

Iczer2

I'm still trying to catch the ice cream truck as it drives down my street doing about 50mph. One of these days I'll catch him and be able to revel in the sweet sweet victory!

You'd think those guys didn't want to sell the product.

Geisrud

I definitely want to try this honey stuff. Have you guys tried the new Dreyer's flavors with candy bars and stuff in it? I love the Drumstick flavor, which is basically vanilla with a bunch of drumstick ice cream cones crushed into it. Then I just tried the chocolate peanut butter cup, and it's rather excellent as well.

GeekyNerdGuy

but is it as addictive as SLURM ?

uberfu

@GeekyNerdGuy: Wait...so then isn't Drumstick flavor essentially a broken Drumstick?

92BuickLeSabre

Actually [en.wikipedia.org] has a great article on the issue

TravisO

Bee population collapse is a serious problem that's hitting the industry. Bees are a critical part of fruit production, no bees, no fruit.

The condition is believed to be caused by heavy pesticide use, in particular one specific pesticide (now banned on certain countries) but still allowed in the US because of the heavy handed lobbying by pesticide companies (because they lose money if their poisons get banned).

You can read an article on the subject @ [www.sptimes.com]

TravisO

@92BuickLeSabre: Yes. They probably get a discount from the drumstick factory on the broken drumsticks and just squish them into a carton.

"(the magic number)7! Eat it. Remember snow, Baily's, and the sexy! Yummm"

@SpeedyGonzalas: Snow ice Cream is awesome! I would never have the patience to wait till summer for that. There's just something fun about sitting next to a fireplace in the middle of a blizzard eating snow ice cream.

I have to honestly recommend the pineapple coconut ice cream. It's just plain delicious, even if it is hard to find.

Does it have chunks of honey comb in it?

In New Zealand and Australia they have an ice cream called Hokie Pokie that's vanilla with honey comb chunks. It's delicious. I would love to see it come state side.

im.thatoneguy

So I picked up a pint of this for "research". I will say it's good but no way is it better than H-D's Dulce de Leche flavor. That is heaven on earth.
