the other day I went to a popular ice cream spot in SF, the line was 25 groups deep (as usual) and people were still getting to the counter *to taste different flavors and try to make family decisions*.

this is a long wait. all the flavors and possible configurations are posted outside. what the fuck were you doing all that time, NOT THINKING ABOUT ICE CREAM? then you deserve no ice cream. OUT.

@[email protected] "but what does cookie dough taste like, right now, to me? Not cookie dough in the abstract sense, but the cookie dough of the real."
-
@[email protected] like I have some sympathy to an extent, particularly in places where the signs are not posted outside!
But the signs are POSTED?! We better be talking flavor names like "Blood of the Innocent" or "Ice Cream That Makes You Gay" or even "This Ice Cream Tastes Different Depending On How Many People You've Killed" because you better taste one and be done, at most here. -

@[email protected] @[email protected] Right. We need answers, now. What kind of ice cream flavors are they hawking?
-
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] Does lavender mead ice cream specifically taste like honey or like actual mead, which sometimes does still taste like honey and sometimes does not?
-
@aud @julieofthespirits they've had pretty much the same basic list since 1953 and they do have some fancier/seasonal flavors, but still, OUT.
-
@[email protected] (I would totally name a flavor the one about how many you've killed and then when people say "oh but it just tastes like vanilla?" I'd just grimace and move on to the next customer without another word)
-
@[email protected] @[email protected] Alright, quality place with standard flavors? New York rules apply. Those bitches are lucky the sign was even posted outside, I don't remember that in NYC??
I also fail to look at places though so that might be on me. -
@lzg @aud @julieofthespirits
Salt & Straw changes like 12 of their 15 flavors monthly! There’s no way I’m going to just blindly order “smoked mac and cheese” or “pink rosé and watermelon sorbet”. That’s just unreasonable. -
@lzg @aud @julieofthespirits
The opportunity cost of a bad choice is soul-crushing. -
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] when I was coming up with fake names, Salt and Straw was literally the place I was thinking of, hah…
