More ice cream enthusiasm.

After all Stevey’s hype about B&R clearly its time for a short recap of 31 cent scoop day.

Stevey and I were a bit late getting there. The event (yes it was an event) ran from 5-10 and we arrived at the Steinway B&R at about 9:30pm.   The line was so long that the store had actually closed its doors and no one else was allowed in. Not even Stevey and Robin who talk to the owner reguarly (his name is Fred). This unfortunately forced us to the dreaded B&R/dunkin donuts down the street where things were just as insane. It was an ice cream mad house! It took Stevey several tries to put his order in because the noise level of all the people. It was like that scene in Willy Wonka when everyone buys all the chocolate to get 5 golden ticket. Except sort of a 31 cent ticket, wrapped in a cone… (I know I’m going too far there. Sorry.)

There was one other thing this event was filled with: enthusiasts! 31 cent ice cream causes people to love ice cream harder than they have ever loved it before.

Our freezer now contains reeses,* pistachio almond, cookies and cream, rock and pop, and york peppermint patty. For the uninformed rock and pop is a sherbet that is neon green, florescent purple and contains “popping candy.”**

Sadly there was no german chocolate cake for Stevey.

*we didn’t mean to get reese’s, but were victim’s of a clever ruse involving a Health bar crunch mix up. Still delicious.

**and possibly uranium.
