Who doesn't like ice cream?

I've been know over the years to put away my share of ice cream (and other's share too, but that is another post all together). I love going to the place with lots of different flavors. I've even made up some unusual flavors of my own that I tease my grandson with (and occasionally the servers at Friendly's). I'll tell my grandson that he can choose from tomato ripple, chocolate squirrel or chicken chip (that last one you must enunciate).


I thought I was just being wacky (as did Lady Nottaguy-TYG) but I read an article in Monday's Columbus Dispatch that totally blew my crazy ice cream flavors away. Check this article out.
