Ice Cream or I Scream
Well, I decided to buy some ice cream this past Friday to celebrate the beautiful warm weather. When I got to the local corner store, it being the end of September, their selection of flavours left a lot to be desired.

Emily wanted me to get orange-pineapple, but we settled on strawberry & chocolate-ripple (2 containers, not Neapolitan). This got me thinking about all those flavours of ice cream that I associate with older people liking; such as the aforementioned orange-pineapple, butter-pecan and maple-walnut. These are flavours that I don’t like. Give me a classic like chocolate or a good vanilla any day.
I usually buy Häagen-Dazs, but I settled for Chapman’s. So for some fun, What flavour ice cream are you?
