What's your favorite frozen novelty item?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

I like fudgesicles, myself. :P

[Kali]

1. ok I was just about to reply and then

it occurred to me that this might be some inside joke I missed. Even though I have been on the DU WAY too much lately. So what is it, missy? I don't like the looks of that silly tongue smiley.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

3. I thought about mentioning that we should keep this thread clean...

Then I thought, "Nah. Who could possibly make something perverse out of frozen novelties". :rofl:

[Kali]

6. it's that word: NOVELTIES

and then you wrote FUDGEcicles I mean, IBTL!!1!!!!1

I like those too, and drumsticks. Cheap icecream sandwiches too.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. It's true...

But even the grocery stores call them frozen novelties! I think....Hmm. Maybe they're selling kinky stuff I never noticed before.

[derby378]

2. I miss Olympic Greek Ice something fierce

I could only find it at this one stall at Six Flags Over Texas. A little paper cup filled with this sherbet that came in blue, orange, and yellow swirls and it was oh-so-yummy. But that booth shut down a long time ago, and if I can find a place that sells traditional Italian sherbet, it's cool, but it's not quite the same as Olympic Greek Ice.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. Sounds interesting...

I looked up Olympic Greek Ice, and came up with thousands of sites having to do with Olympics...

[JVS]

5. there are so many kinds of klondike to choose from that I don't need other novelties

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Would you believe it?

I've never had a Klondike, despite their ads.

[LeftyMom]

7. These

[ThomCat]

10. Oh My. Now I am going to have to try those.

:wow:

[LeftyMom]

11. They're fantastic.

I just tried some of their new coconut milk ice cream and it's incredibly good too.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Looks yummy!

And no HFCS! :applause:

[LeftyMom]

14. The store where I do most of my shopping has a no HFCS, no transfats policy.

Makes for easier label reading. :)

[ThomCat]

8. Is "novelty item" a euphemism for sex toy?

I don't usually put sex toys in the freezer. Though in the middle of August that sounds like it might be a good idea. :P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Well I hadn't intended it that way, but

I guess popsicles could be fun on a really hot day. :rofl:

[Critters2]

16. Lemon sorbet. I love the stuff. nt

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. I like a scoop of sorbet

after a spicy meal. Mmmm... :hi:

[Digit]

17. I buy containers of frozen strawberries at Target and make icees

They have the sugar added already. Put in blender and hit pulse repeatedly.
Yummmmmmmmmm

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. That sounds like a healthy treat!

:hi:

[BrotherBuzz]

18. It's-It

http://www.itsiticecream.com/history/

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. Sounds delicious!

:hi:

[Skittles]

19. Italian ice

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. My dad loved Italian ice...

In fact he loved just about everything Italian, except for spaghetti.

[Zavulon]

40. Another vote for Italian ice here.

Thanks a lot, Skittles. Now I'm craving some Italian ice. The cost of the gas I'll have to use up to go buy some today is on your head. You just increased my carbon footprint. I thought you might actually CARE about the environment, but nooooooooooooooooooooooo...

;)

[dropkickpa]

74. Oh hell yeah

Lemon italian ice, not Rita's crap, the stuff from the mafia/bookie/italian ice place 2 blocks from my house (been in business for at least 20 years). Hours of operation at the store itself are completely bizarre and follow NO pattern, but the two carts are out and about the east end daily. I always splurge and get the absolute biggest container possible, and am happy to suffer through the ice cream headache for their deliciousness.

[Tektonik]

20. The vegan chocolate ice cream sandwiches at Trader Joe's or

their chocolate covered frozen bananas on a stick.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Chocolate covered bananas on a stick...

Seems like they'd be pretty easy to make, no?

[demmiblue]

48. Choco Taco, Bomb Pop, and Screwball!

Whoops... wrong place!

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

21. Umpqua Dairy Special Strawberry Ice Cream!

at least it was until I became diabetic :(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. Had to google Umpqua to find out where it is...

I see there's a beautiful Umpqua National Forest as well.

Guess I've got to go to Oregon. :D

[Nevilledog]

22. Agree on the fudgesicles.....have some in the freezer right now.

I actually prefer the Safeway brand much more than Blue Bunny's. Oh, and my all time favorite I don't think they even make them anymore....2 big chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle and the rim of ice cream in the sandwich was coated with itty bitty chocolate chips....yummy.

I also love banana popsicles and they have some new melon ones I like - watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. How about orange creamsicles?

Orange on the outside, vanilla inside. Mmmmm.

[Nevilledog]

31. I never, ever liked creamsicles.... go figure. n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

91. ohhh, the Dreamsicle. Loved those things. I never liked the fruity icy ones

except banana. They froze so hard they were difficult to bite.

When I was a kid I HATED the chocolate coated ice cream because it was so damn messy. As an adult I learned to like them and now like DOVE bars with dark chocolate...but don't eat them anymore due to preferring to spend my WW Daily Points on more substantial things like steak or Italian food

[jmowreader]

60. Absolutely they make those!

Hershey's Ice Cream (not affiliated with Hershey Chocolate--says so right on the label) makes them. They're only sold in gas stations, and I don't know why, but those are the SHIT, man! They come in a little dixie cup thing with a perfed hole in the bottom...take off the lid and shove on the hole, and out comes the treat.

[yellowdogintexas]

30. currently Weight Watchers Giant Latte Bars...great tasting coffee ice cream

and only 1 point per bar.

Their ice cream sandwiches are good too but they are 2 points each

[GoddessOfGuinness]

53. Hmmm...

Are they caffeine-free?

[yellowdogintexas]

79. not enough caffeine in them to count. Very very light in color, just enough coffee flavor

that you feel like you have had coffee ice cream.

Tried the fudge ones this week and they totally rock too.

1 freaking point!!! I just noticed they have 4 grams of fiber.

[TCJ70]

32. Walt Disney?

Isn't he frozen somewhere?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

54. He's probably got freezer burn by now

[carlyhippy]

33. popsicle brand cherry...if ice cream is a frozen novelty item, Ben and Jerrys Cherry Garcia

Carly

[GoddessOfGuinness]

55. I'm going to have to try Cherry Garcia...

But whenever I have money for Ben & Jerry's, I tend to want Pistachio Pistachio.

[jeff30997]

34. Walt Disney?

Well he was kind of new in 1966!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

56. I hope he doesn't melt with all you folks taking bites

[MilesColtrane]

35. Fudge/bannana bomb pop

Eskimo pie

Those were the standards when the ice cream man came around.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

57. Eskimo Pies...

:P

[Bennyboy]

36. The Rolo bar....

Yummy. the Rolo candy as an ice cream bar. THE BEST THING EVER.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

58. That sounds fantastic!

I need a drooling smiley now.

[AlCzervik]

37. It's-it and Hoodsies.

[Bennyboy]

45. It's it....Memories...

While I still love them, it always brings back memories of going to the It Stand at Playland. Now those were the best. Fresh made with the chocolate still dripping off of them....

[AlCzervik]

49. when i was staying the Hyatt near SFO my room had a view of the factory.

that was pretty damn awesom!

[MsTryska]

38. Does mochi ice cream count?

I've been buying those a lot.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

61. What's mochi?

[MsTryska]

82. I think it's a japanese thing - It's definitely a hawaiian thing

It's different flavors of ice cream kinda wrapped up into a little ball with flavored mochi skins, which i think is some sort of sweet rice concoction.

Right now my favorite flavor is cappucino chip wrapped in chocolate mochi.

[cabbage08]

39. drumsticks

[GoddessOfGuinness]

62. Mmm...

I remember when they sold those at school.

[Connonym]

41. Anything that a 1970s version of David Lee Roth sells

especially the push ups ;-)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

63. Did he sell frozen treats?

[Connonym]

70. He was the ice cream man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzxSbeVVTI

[GoddessOfGuinness]

71. Cool!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

42. Ted Williams. (nt)

[JVS]

46. No way. Walt Disney is so much tastier.

[Doc_Technical]

43. Han Solo.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

64. NOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!

[Rhythm]

44. No longer made... Good Humor "Vampire Pops"

Black, raspberry-flavored popsicle filled with a red raspberry sauce.

These were the most awesome thing ever...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

65. I guess the fundies got them taken off the market.

They sound tasty!

[femmocrat]

47. Drumsticks n/t

[Angleae]

52. Same here

But only the caramel filled variety.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

66. Never had that kind...

Sounds good!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

50. Good Humor frozen eclairs

Hope the rain stops soon, I'm gettin a hankerin ;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

67. I remember those!

And the ones with chocolate candy in the center...Fudge Sundae bars or somesuch.

[fudge stripe cookays]

51. Red White & Blue Bombpops

That bastard ice cream man would make me run 3 or 4 blocks for my bombpop!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

68. Are those the ones that would make your lips turn blue?

They were kind of fun...

[fudge stripe cookays]

81. Yep!

I just liked the flavors; little more subtle than fudgecicles or dreamcicles.

[Rhiannon12866]

84. Hi, my friend! They used to sell those at the amusement park where I worked, summers, when I was at

school, remember those well. Every kid had to have one...:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

85. Crap! Sorry, double post...

:blush:

[w8liftinglady]

59. java chillers from sonic...yum

[GoddessOfGuinness]

69. I just went to a Sonic for the first time

a couple of weeks ago. We didn't get ice cream, though. Have to try that. :hi:

[w8liftinglady]

72. you might not want to get started...they are habit-forming

[GoddessOfGuinness]

75. The nearest Sonic is almost 2 hours away from me...

I don't even know when I'll be able to go again...

[u4ic]

73. Soy Delicious - Cherry Nirvana flavour

:9

[GoddessOfGuinness]

76. Yeah?

I'll have to try that. I'm not wild about soy milk; but maybe frozen soy would be more appealing.

[u4ic]

77. I haven't had (cow's milk) ice cream in years

but the Soy Delicious really does the trick for me.

FWIW, I don't like soy milk either. Most are far too sweet for my liking.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

78. That's exactly why

I don't care for soy milk...
It's too sweet and syrupy.

[yellowdogintexas]

90. Try Silk Vanilla Soy with Fiber Added. MUCH less sweet and the fiber is of course

healthy ...those of us in Weight Watchers went crazy over the 1 point per cup milk!!!

Even totally fat free cows milk is 2 points per cup.

[u4ic]

96. Thanks, I'll look for it

The regular Silk got changed a few years ago to something too sweet for my liking; but perhaps the added fibre may have toned it down.

[yellowdogintexas]

97. I don't know what they did but it is definitely not as sweet as the regular Vanilla Silk

I use it for smoothies a lot, and on cold cereal.

Only comes in half gallons though, I do wish it came in quarts because I don't always use it up fast enough

[susanna]

80. Fudgesicles are the only frozen novelty I buy at the store.

Every once in a while when the ice cream truck comes by, I get one of those orange push-ups. Though I try not to do that, since then they actually return to my neighborhood and play "Pop Goes the Weasel" ad nauseum. But I have been tempted once or twice to give in. I'm weak.

on edit: clarity

[Rhiannon12866]

83. I like creamsicles...

:9

[MissMillie]

86. me too

:thumbsup:

[Rhiannon12866]

94. When I went to summer camp, which I did for six years, we would go to the camp store, after dinner,

And I got either a creamsicle or a fudgicle. They cost 10 cents, at the time, which gives you a clue about my age... *sigh* :hi:

[old mark]

87. When I lived in Berkeley in the mid '70's,

Foster's had a frozen banana on a stick covered with dark chocolate.
Just great.
They were the only thing I miss about living there.

Now, I really like Edy's Frozen Fruit Strawberry popsicles, made with strawberry juice and big pieces of fruit. They also make them in other fruits and flavore, including Coconut.


mark

[lost-in-nj]

89. I have two

dove ice cream bites




and Good Humor
Chocolate Candy Crunch

the chocolate is so good!!!





:hi:


lost

oh and banana fudgesicles.....

[yellowdogintexas]

92. OMG totally forgot PALETAS!!!! OMG I love these things, esp the coconut ones

The Paleta handcart is a fixture in any Latin American neighborhood, and now you can buy them in the grocery too. Er I should say the normal mainstream grocery. The mom and pop Taquerias around here have always carried them and the Mexican markets too.

Those little green handcarts used to hover around the soccer field two blocks from my last house and roam about a 3 block area around that field.

Forget the ice cream truck, our kids wanted the Paletas!

[EstimatedProphet]

93. Broccoli

:9

[Shell Beau]

95. I like the Jell-o pudding pops. They make them smaller than they

used to which is odd since all other food has gotten much larger.
