#it's pink and inferior 😒

Darn I was gonna ask for top 5 snacks but I’ll settle for top 5 ice cream flavors, pleaseeeee

Well, now, see, this one won't be a random assortment, or unranked...

But it will be more than half flavors that no longer exist.

5. Ashby's Scout's Honor: a 'Thin Mint' homage of mint ice cream with a solid chocolate swirl and chocolate mint cookie balls; if the chocolate swirl were mint, it would be almost perfect.

4. Kroger Peanut Butter Cookie (? -201?): this was great in both flavor and texture; I think it was vanilla ice cream, with a swirl of this crumbly peanut butter stuff, and little chunks of peanut butter candy bits that gave it a delicious monch.

3. Homemade "Butterfinger" (1990s?): Perhaps not surprising this one got shelved 😂; that wasn't actually the name, and I don't remember what the name was, but they obviously didn't have the license to actually use the brand name - they were very much definitely real chunks of Butterfinger in the ice cream, though; two key points that separate it from modern incarnations of (officially licensed) Butterfinger ice cream - this one had vanilla ice cream (ones today use peanut butter ice cream, which is overkill and doesn't go as well), and they had massive chunks, like, up to a square-inch of Butterfinger bar. Loved it, gone too soon.

2. Ashby's Key Lime Pie: exactly what it says on the tin. "Graham cracker crust with whipped cream and key lime swirl in lime mousse ice cream" - so says the company; I say a single waffle of this is the best possible thing on a hot summer day.

Well... second-best.

1. Meijer Peppermint Stick (1980s-2000s): Real cool mint ice cream (white, not the fake "green" that people think is mint), with little bits of cool peppermint (as opposed to spicy peppermint) candy colored red and green. The ultimate in mint. And they sold it year-round. Damn, do I miss this one. 😭
