Philosophy of Ice Cream
Ice cream philosophy has its roots in the Renaissance, and can probably be best appreciated when contemplated with a frozen brain.

But I always get Salty Peanut. Why risk trying another flavor when it is 80 cents a scoop?
With no risk, there is little chance for reward.
Depends on the topic. I would say for the most part though, you’re right.
So would you like to be one of the guinea pigs for my next rocket flight test?
I’m afraid of heights.
I could blindfold you.
I’m afraid of the dark.
I believe we might have a problem, then.
Poor Winky. I could make you a milkshake mixed with all those flavors.
Okay! I’ll be right over!
I’ll make a couple of gallons for you!
That should keep me going till supper!
I made you a banana split with those flavors too! Oh, and the banana is chocolate dipped with the hard chocolate.
That’s my favorite kind! They’re extra super yummy!
You want another one?
Yes, please! I could eat those all day long!
Here’s a Winky size one to last you till bedtime.
I’ll bring you more tomorrow too! 🙂
Oh boy! Sundays every day of the week!
Just as promised! I great big super Winky sized banana split, with a tall milkshake to chase it down with! 🙂
That’s a perfect breakfast! Thanks, Deb!
Maybe s/he just ate it all?
🙂
Maybe they did!
I wouldn’t blame them!
🙂
I guess I couldn’t, either. But I would have liked to taste it!
Ha, yep this is the way it works. Jilted on both sides of the equation. I love this one! 😉
Thanks, David.
Winky sometimes a Chocolate/Chocolate Chip is all you need.
That’s what I usually have! Triple chocolate chip!
I want whatever you’re having Winky 🙂
I’ll make us both a Wombie-sized bowl of it!
I want one too, please!
Sure! I’ll make us all one! With extra chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top!
Mmm. Thank you, Winky! And I’ll make shakes for everyone!
This is going to be a very yummy Saturday!
Thank you Winky we can
all have a choco party now 🙂
Sounds good to me! Chocolate all night long! Well at least until to my bedtime. In a couple of hours.
At the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory in Vermont USA they have a half hour tour of the factory where every tour ends with an exclusive scoop of ice cream. It’s exclusive because each flavor is unique to that tour.
Binky, write to them and suggest this flavor!
I’m going there right now! If I take the tour enough times I should be able to get my raspberry maple almond fudge!
Bwahahahahahaha. Perhaps just ask for one at a time. He might have better luck that way.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
That would work! I could make my own flavors that way!
Winky just isn’t a vanilla kind of Wombie.
I’m more of a chocolate dip!
I’m all-in for the trying different flavors theme. Sometimes you find a new favorite. 🙂
That would be a good thing! But new things can be scary.
It’s scarier to be old and gray and wish you have tried more things in your lifetime….just go for it while you still can!
Well, I don’t know. I kind of like things that I know.
We all do, Winky, but if we don’t try new things we will never know if we like them, or good at them. If we don’t try, we could end up filled with regret.
I guess so. That’s probably what Binky was trying to tell me.
I’m vanilla all the way. 🙂
Chocolate for me! Or better yet, chocolate chocolate chocolate!
They need to take down that sign & say they only have some flavours
Yeah, they didn’t have every flavor I could imagine! Well I guess Binky actually imagined it.
What flavor do you imagine, Winky?
Chocolate chip chocolate fudge triple chocolate chocolate!
I knew that! 🙂
Get your spoon out. I’m dropping you off a bowl of it right now!
Really? Oh boy!
Can I have some too Deb? 🙂 xxxx
Deb always brings enough for everyone!
I always said, “If it ain’t chocolate, it ain’t worth it.”
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com/2013/09/gbe2-slippery-slope.html
I can’t argue with that!
Me neither 🙂
Yeah, you can never go wrong with chocolate.
That’s for sure! Unless you run out of chocolate. Now that would be wrong!
That’s like a crime of something.
That reminds me. I need another chocolate shipment from your chocolate factory…I’m almost out!
Okay, I’ll send you a transport truck full of chocolate right away!
Send me two, I eat my
chocolate faster than Deb 🙂
Okay, I will. But Deb’s got a whole Wombie clan to feed!
Yes and they are all known for being greedy 🙂
We’re not really greedy! We’re just all super extra hungry all the time!
But vanilla lets you get all the fun toppings
Hopefully a lot of chocolate toppings!
I must admit that Vanilla is
one of my favourites too Winky 🙂
No!! Vanilla is like chocolate with all the good stuff removed!
I can put whatever I want on chocolate ice cream.
Especially more chocolate!
That what I usually do.
You know what else is good? To mix peanut butter in with the chocolate ice-cream…mmm
Peanut butter chocolate is really good!
Peanut butter chocolate
and vanilla ice cream is
really good too 🙂
As long as you add lots of chocolate!
Try mixing and matching the ice cream and sprinkles. Make your own flavor.
That sounds like a good idea! I could put a little bit of everything together! Or maybe a lot of everything together!
I tell ya, she’s lying. I went to the exact same place and had a triple scoop.
No way!! I’m going right back! I want my raspberry maple almond fudge!
Get me one too, or should
that be… Get two for me? 🙂
I tried again but they said they still didn’t have any! I think maybe they’re keeping it for themselves!
They’re eating up all the profits.
I would probably do the same if I worked there.
Maybe you could apply for a job there.
I think they know me too well to hire me!
We will start making our own next,
and you can be the chief taster Winky 🙂
That’d be great! I’m a really good taster!
Everyone told me that but I already knew it 🙂
Yeah, you know me pretty well!
I got 69 flavors but fudge ain’t one…
You must be deprived!
That’s how I feel at Home Depot in the plumbing department. They always have EVERY fitting for pipes but the one I NEED! W.C.C.
Maybe you should try the ice cream shop instead. It’s way more fun! And way more yummy!
It just so happens that I have a very large pancake with all those ingredients on it, and your name is first out of the hat so how about that for being lucky? 🙂
Really? I’ll take it! Thanks, Andro!
You’re welcome, actually every name in the hat was yours, that’s how much I wanted you to win 🙂 But I made sure everyone else got something too so it wasn’t cheating 🙂
No one likes pancakes like me! They were really yummy! But I’m glad everyone got some, too.
Dang. That “every flavor ice cream you can imagine” sign would’ve had me excited. I’d ask for a double scoop of unicorn with sprinkles.
I hope they don’t make that out of real unicorns!
Raspberry almod sudge sounds delicious. I wonder why that store doesn’t sell one
I don’t know. But they should sell it!
We need to protest outside, that should make them look up and notice 🙂 We might even get some free samples too 🙂
Okay, let’s protest! We could sing the ice cream song!
Ice Cream song? we should ask Howard Moon and Vince Noir to make one 😉
It should be like the Soup Song: Soup, soup, a tasty soup, soup. A spicy carrot and coriander … 😉
They could probably come up with a good one! The only one I know is “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
Sorry, I bought the last pint!
No!!
I hope it was good.
oh I want that flavour too, how come they don’t have the flavours we want. I smel conspiracy
Maybe they’re trying to starve us or something! I don’t know! All ice cream flavors should be for everyone!
Ah….such wise words….poor Winky I suspect didn’t really get the gist of it! Teehee…then again, all ice cream shops SHOULD have that combination, because it does sound totally delicious!! I’d want to try one of those too!
All I know is raspberry maple almond fudge sounded yummy and I wanted to taste it!
c’est inadmissible!!! Ahah
You should start your own brand… Binky & Winky’s. Ohhh I just got a new idea for a fan art. 😉
Binky & Winky’s ice cream! I like the sound of that! And the taste!
Me too!!!! I hope you ship some over to Malaysia once it starts production 😛 And don’t forget the maple, raspberry almond one! 😉
I will! I’ll have to pack it in a freeze to make sure it gets there cold!
