Dude those little cups just don’t taste the same without the wooden spoon

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You’re right. The wooden spoons are part of the flavor.

It's that raspy plywood texture

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Mmmm. Mahogany.

I was about to argue the term mediocre to describe the ice cream, but then I realized, the flavor that I loved was the fact that it either meant school was almost out or it was currently summertime more than anything else

the best flavor is always nostalgia of good times

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah. That nostalgia. It’s a fine thing.

Just the sight of that wretched "spoon" makes my teeth cringe

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What you didn’t naw on it like a massive toothpick once the the ice cream was gone? It was like I got my own chew toy every time

I definitely did this as a child. I would pretend I was a beaver.

Wooden spoons are the worst to eat anything with. Espacially icecream.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not true, they are great for cooking - won’t scratch your pans, won’t melt, and are firm enough to use for a good scrape.

You missed the word "eat". You don't eat with cooking spoons.

That was edited in well after I replied, I didn’t miss it.

What it said when I replied to it was “wooden spoons are the worst to anything with”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Sry i just had stroke reading this lol

McDonald's in my country changed to wooden spoons for all their ice cream. I hate it.

It's like you reached into my brain and dug out the 5,000 or so cells buried deepest near my amigdalya with the memory of this

Time travel is real, people

How many park benches are you licking on the regular? I must try it sometime.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm, too, curious what a park bench tastes like.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're alright but have you tried these?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Never seen them before. Are they from Canada or something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

They are from Australia.

They kinda went out of business because tuck shop ladies discovered small white plastic cups instead and undercut their business.

licking those sticks is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me

My 60 yrs old Aunt and I both have this as a shared experience. I hope kids for generations get to chew on the ol' pine peanut

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've got pretty much that in my freezer right now (very plain Cornish ice cream). I find it helps me not binge it all in one go if it's not some even-more-delicious flavour. Unfortunately I don't have the spatula, though I do have a small wooden spoon I could use...
