I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream...

For ice cream! Yes, ice cream is among my favorite foods, and is just plain AWESOME. Ever wonder what the differences in ice cream "varieties" really was? This article explains it, and the "benefits" of each.

Ok... enough with the serious stuff... on to the real reason for this post-- a review of "funfetti" ice cream! Most brands refer to this flavor with the keyword "cake". The ice cream base generally tastes like yellow cake batter, and there is everything from blue frosting swirls, sprinkles, rainbow chips, and actual pieces of cake thrown in to the mix. My favorite combination is the blue frosting swirl / rainbow chip variety, which the Harris Teeter brand has perfected (this is awesome since they usually have their own ice cream on sale). Edy's also capitalized on this combination, but they seem not to have as much of a frosting swirl, which is my favorite part. Blue Bunny uses real sprinkles in place of rainbow chips (which I'm pretty sure are just colored white chocolate), and Turkey Hill has "real cake pieces" (I've only just recently heard of this and haven't found it in a store here yet). Ben & Jerry's switches it up with a chocolate frosting swirl... never had this one either. Cold Stone also has a Birthday Cake Remix concoction (which is amazing), and Zaxby's does too (on my list of things to try in the near future... it will be my reward for finding my mailbox and learning to parallel park).
