David Zincenko and I are on speaking terms again. I had to take a break from him after the Doritos and Corn on the Cob incidents.
When I first saw the title of his blog post The Best and Worst Ice Cream Truck Treats, I started to fume. David, if the Chipwich is on the worst list, I’ll…I’ll…chuck Chipwiches at your face!
Mr. Zincenko just redeemed himself a few points with me.
- +1 He recommends the Oreo Sandwich over the Choco Taco. Oreo! And who orders the Choco Taco? Seriously.
- +1 He points out that elaborate coffee drinks are a contributing factor to weight gain. I don’t drink coffee.
- +1 He recommends eating the Firecracker popsicle. Only 35 calories!
- +1 He points out that the Good Humor Cookies and Cream is only 90 calories. I need to buy some of those.
David Zincenko just redeemed 4 points with me. He still lost about a thousand for dissing Doritos, but it’s a good start. Don’t mess it up.
I have my eye on you, Mr. Z. You’re more slippery than snot on a glass doorknob. (I always wanted to say that.)
PS: Did anyone see the article on America’s Best Ice Cream Shops? Anyone want to come with me to Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlour in Florida? I need that kitchen sink ice cream sundae.

That choco taco looks pretty good! Wish we had those things around here in Hooterville..

Should we try the cheeseburger flavored Doritos?
August 16th, 2010 at 10:36 am
Hmmm…I think I prefer the classic Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese. The new flavors scare me.

Ooooh man. Jaxson’s is the shizz. =]
It’s like 10 minutes from me, and we frequent on nights when we want to swim in our servings of ice cream.
I’ve had the kitchen sink before, I think you need like a minimum of 6 (or 11?) people to order it. And it was amazing. And then it started to melt. And it was disgusting.
So in all, AWESOME. Holler if you’re headed down. Seriously. We should IHOP and kitchen sink.

10 minutes?! That is so awesome!
There is at least 1, maybe 2, Florida trips in the works for later this year. But I suspect it’ll be the wrong part of Florida. I usually fly into Tampa. Is that too far?
I think we can do it with 6 people. I have faith in our ice cream eating abilities.

Tampa is a four hour drive from where I am. Last time I made the trip I crashed my car. That has nothing to do with anything, just sayin’.
Too far for you to kitchen sink, but I could be tempted my other ice creams to road trip it. =]
August 17th, 2010 at 7:55 am
Maybe we could meet in the middle.
August 16th, 2010 at 9:38 am
I really want some ice cream now. Thanks a lot. Thanks. A. Lot.
August 16th, 2010 at 10:37 am
Hehe. My mission in life is to make everyone just like me: craving ice cream all the time.
August 16th, 2010 at 11:25 am
Yay, The Dairy Godmother made the list! I still haven’t been there, but it’s a famous hangout for the DC area MINI Cooper crowd. Adding it to my own 30 (plus) before 30 (plus) list.
I love Choco Tacos.
Cheeseburgers = good. Doritos = good. How could the combo possibly go wrong?!
August 16th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
I saw that one place was in Alexandria, which is very cool.
Choco Tacos? Tasty? I think I’m being putting off by the taco part. Is it just a waffle cone?
August 21st, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I keep forgetting to come back to this. I had no idea Choco Tacos were so divisive! I haven’t had one in forever, but I think it is just a waffle cone.
However, I’ll be happy to research and get back to you.
August 16th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
I have never had a choco taco…can you believe it? ME?! This is wrong. Just wrong.
August 17th, 2010 at 7:15 am
Actually…I’ve never had one either. Shhhh…
August 16th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
=O You did not just diss the Choco Taco…
August 17th, 2010 at 7:17 am
I’ve actually never had one. =) I think my aversion to the Choco Taco comes from the fact that real tacos are messy, and therefore Choco Tacos are messy.
Plus, I’m more about the ice cream than the cone. And the Choco Taco seems like it would have a high cone to ice cream ratio.
August 17th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
It does indeed; due to unpopularity they stopped selling Choco Tacos at Taco Bell where I lived in California..
August 16th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Oreo is on the list? WIN!
August 17th, 2010 at 2:23 am
Choco Tacos are naaasty! I never understood why anyone bought them. My personal favorites were always the ones the had gumball eyeballs, but I’m sure those wouldn’t make the list. lol
August 17th, 2010 at 7:53 am
Gumball eyeballs? I’ve never tried those.
August 21st, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Choco tacos are the shiz. No one eats ice cream in california – that’s why they discontinued them. Try one. Then dis. I just realized I didn’t have milk for my coffee, so I put in some mint chocolate chip ice cream. It’s pretty fabulous. You should try that too.
August 22nd, 2010 at 2:10 pm
No one eats ice cream in CA? What the hell….
I don’t drink coffee, but ice cream in my hot chocolate sounds awesome.
