Okay, I am now going to make a picture post about frozen treats. You may or may not remember that this is not unprecedented.

First: the Ice Cream Wars!

First, we have our various players...

Irish Ice Cream:


TERRORIST ICE CREAM:


(conclusion: Irish == BOOZE)

And of course

Notice the Oxford cookies! That makes this flavor English.

And what happens when these particular flavors (and a special surprise guest or two) get together? Why...





YES WE HAVE A LOT OF ICE CREAM SHUT UP

But that's not all! We also have the Oozinator-like marketing decision that is... Superman Sticks.

This is a box of Superman Sticks:


Movie tie-in popsicles. Nothing special about them, really, right? Well.... you may not agree, but mecha and I found something about this item to be... a little off...



Yeah... just... something about that placement...


You see, if you put a Superman Stick in your mouth, then at the completion of the act you will get a free Superman download. Um.


I don't think I want Superman's "juice", thank you.

So there you have it, the second and third installments of Jenny Being Weird And Posting Things About Frozen Treats Theater. See ya next time!

I was so afraid that I'd never get my very own pint of Black and Tan, as they more or less yanked it off the market after the public embarassment in March. For those who haven't heard the story, Ben and Jerry's wanted to make an Irish themed ice cream for St. Patrick's day, so they made a boozy flavored one based on a mixed drink made in part of Irish beer.

Unfortunately, the very similarly named 'Black and Tans' were a ruthless bunch of murderous thugs employed by the British during the Irish war for Independence. So the Black and Tan ice cream didn't go over well, on what is more or less the official Irish national holiday.

Thank the dark gods for the incredibly crappy Target, which I know, from working there, has seriously screwed up stock rooms, and so probably ordered 10 times more ice cream for March than they needed to, and so, months later, I get my very own terrorist ice cream. Sw33t.
