How do you buy your favorite kind of ice cream?

I am curious how you buy your favorite kind of ice cream. Is it a banana split, a double scoop, a sundae, in a box? What is your favorite ice cream and how do you buy it? I go to a local ice cream place and get what they call a "4 scoop sampler" and try 4 of the MANY different kinds that they have every day, all year round. That is my favorite and my favorite flavor depends on what they have each time, but usually cake batter is very good or one they have with graham crackers in it that I can't remember the name of!

Well, I like many different ice creams, in many different ways, but my favorite is probably a vanilla dip cone with chocolate. Yep, pretty simple!!! I think ice cream cones are my next favorite in either a sugar cone or a cake cone, but I usually get a sugar cone. I also love sundaes, but I usually go for the plain and simple.

At least it has chocolate on it! It always drives me crazy when someone comes into the ice cream shop with 50 flavors and orders just vanilla. Thanks for your response, eclecticeducation!

I like the chocolate peanut butter chunk that Baskin Robbins has. That is my all time favorite. I usually buy it pre-packaged and take it home with me.

Sounds good. I have a weakness for peanut butter, so I am sure that I would like it. I don't think that I have. Thanks for the response, leslie.

I am also the same person and the habits like you. firstly i go through papers for any samples,or i got to bakery shop to check whether my favourite scoop is available are not. if it is available there then i will go for it.actually my spot to have ice-cream is near my place there i will find lots of flavours and etc. there i may find with discount on the off seasons and on seasons. my favourite is casatta with strawberry flavour. i hope u also do the same what i have done.

I don't know what casatta is? If it's ice cream, it has to be good! I don't usually think to get discounts since it doesn't matter because I am going to have my ice cream anyway! lol Thanks for responding, hitesh.

Mixing them can be fun and creates your own new flavors!! Happy ice cream eating to you and please don't be sick. Enjoy it! Thanks for responding, myskina.

You would do well with my grown daughter who also likes chocolate on chocolate. She used to put chocolate syrup in the cone BEFORE she put her soft serve chocolate ice cream in it and then whatever chocolate on the top.....sprinkles, hot fudge or chocolate sauce!! Even chocolate chips! Thanks for the response, marckuz.

Baskin-Robbins/31 Flavors, I get the two scoops for $2 on Tuesday, and I get half mint and half chocolate. Mint and Chocolate are my favorites.

Oh I love ice cream. . .whether it's store-bought in a box, soft served, or bought from an ice cream shop like Cold Stone. . .I love Cold Stone's ice cream the best though. They have the best French vanilla ice cream in my opinion.

I love all kinds of ice cream, too. We could be ice cream buddies! Thanks for the response, YamiKiba.

Well love chocolate flavored and butter scotch flavor. It's my favourite and i always eat that. And apart from these ice creams in baskin robins i love parlines n cream. so where ever i eat ice cream i look somewhat to these flavours and decide amongst them which one to eat that day,

Butterscotch used to be a favorite.....years ago. I'll have to try it again one of these days. Baskin Robins is very good, but they have another place here that has more flavors, called Handels. Soooooo good!! Thanks for your response, rizzu87.

Whenever we are out and we want to eat ice cream, we buy on cones... but when we want to eat our ice cream at home, we usually buy a half gallon of ice cream... :)

My all time favorite ice cream is Oreo ice cream. I usually buy it at WalMart, but ice cream has gotten so expensive and it is hard to find sometimes so I just buy it whenever I can find it! But if you're talking about at ice cream places.. then I love Coldstone's Birthday Cake Remix. It's the only thing I ever get there and it tastes just like cake! The ice cream flavor is cake batter and they mix it with fudge and brownie chunks OH it's delicious!

Mmmmmmmmmm..........now I am going to have to go to Stone Cold and try that one. I have only been there one time and it was delicious. I'll probably forget the name of it and really should just write it down and take it with me so I won't embarrass myself. I haven't really even bought any lately, which is surprising since I buy ice cream year round and my granddaughter checks my freezer everytime she comes to my place. thank you for your response, vanonas!

I usually get the box of ice cream. It lasts longer and if you buy the right kind, you can indulge yourself for days! Like those big round buckets of ice cream you can still find at certain shopping markets. I love ice cream! Awesome topic.

I love ice cream, too, and eat it year round. I used to buy the big tubs, too, but I like the different flavors of the boxed kinds, and Ben and Jerry's is the best, when I can afford it!! Thanks for your comments, TrayBlaylock!

Good to see you back on MyLot, B. As for your question, Walker and I recently discovered No Name Brand (no kidding it's a trade mark) ice cream here in Ontario supermarkets. We like the vanilla. honestly, it's the best dang vanilla ice cream going!!! We eat it in cones with chocolate syrup on it, or sometimes a scoop of it in a cup of coffee. Boy is it good!!! We like chocolat chip mint, or coffee for flavoured ice cream, but vanilla is more affordable with No Name brand chocolate syrup, and JUST AS GOOD as the flavoured stuff. We can also make hot or cold coffee milk shakes with espresso, chocolate and vanilla ice cream in my blender.

Only because I'm babysitting and should be home wrapping Christmas gifts!! Like I commented above, at least it has chocolate on it! I love ice cream in almost any form, even coffee flavor, but I don't......no can't...drink coffee!! Thanks for the response danishcanadian.....or L!!
