The Buckets by Greg Cravens for August 26, 2022

I just gave up on a dairy because they now only only put up their “Big Bucket” ice cream in “light” version!

No eggplant? No asparagus? Not even licorice?

Some how we used to get along without 900 different kinds of everything.

When I ran the frozen foods department at work, a load in the summer could be almost half ice cream

Dolly Madison’s favorite ice cream flavor was oyster. Wonder if they have that here.

It’s the same ice cream in at least half of the containers anyway. Brands are just a way to sell stuff to pompous people with a bigger margin.

My ice cream isle is pretty sparse. Very few flavors any more. No more Tin roof Sundae, other favorites. Now you seem to get your choice of vanilla, mint chocolate chip or salted caramel. I got a sub for my tin roof in chocolate moose tracks, now I can’t even find it. Mrs refuses to let me make my own. :(

My wife wanted some lemon sherbet, but Winco does not carry any sherbet at all. Had to make it for her. PSA: don’t bother with “cotton candy” ice cream.

There’s a thing called “choice paralysis” (or something like that) when someone has so many choice they either can’t make any selection or wind up regretting their choice. It’s like when you go to a restaurant and see what another table ordered and you think, “I should have ordered that”.

As long as I can get my Tiger Tail I’ll be happy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_tail_ice_cream

Well not in my grocery stores, I’ve not seen a full freezer section in sometime. It is getting better as the prices are so high I can’t buy what is in stock.

“half an aisle, half an aisle, half an aisle onward…” Apologies to Tennyson and The Charge of the Light Brigade.

They stopped bringing Friendly’s down here (or maybe they gave up selling it in stores), so no butter crunch. No Friendly’s restaurants down here either and the one I used to go to on my annual trip to Harrisburg PA has also closed.
