Yeah, well, please just don't wear your toga this time!

You have undoubtedly made more than a few drool - their dream spouse may well be one with a Lifetime AAirpass! (Meantime, my local Whole Foods does carry Three Twins, so I will have to give it a try.)

We do sell in Woodland Hills. They have the Madagascar Vanilla, Mint Confetti (mint with flecks of dark chocolate), Bittersweet Chocolate, Cookies & Cream, Vanilla Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Mocha Difference (coffee w/flecks of dark chocolate).

Thank you very much to all who have voted. It feels like running for 3rd grade student council all over again, which was also kinda fun back in the day.

Voted. Good luck, Neal!

$3333 for 100 pints - that's $33/pint - it must really be "inconceivably delicious"!

But... are they Elite Qualifying Pints? They would be worth more...

Our ice cream is actually typically rather reasonably priced; typically between $4.49 and $4.99 a pint at regular price. I put the 100 pints up on the website because I was curious if anybody would actually buy it at that price, loved the idea of being whisked away to another city at any moment to deliver ice cream and knew that the EQM would be useful if somebody did take me up on the offer.

Plus, I won a bottle of 1977 Vintage Port from my twin brother of little faith when it sold!

The trip to Boston (I believe this was before SFO-BOS was cut) yielded about 54 EQM/Pint and about 125 RDM/Pint (accounting for cc miles earned for the ticket, paying $50 for each overweight cooler, $333.33 donation to a land trust, etc.).

You've got my vote! But please expand to some more stores in the Seattle area so I can try out your product. PCC, Central Market, Madison Market etc. I can't shop at Whole Foods for ethical reasons.

We already have a great selection at PCC; a full shelf in most stores. And I believe that we just added Central Market.

I wonder how many more pints we would sell if each one came with 100 AA redeemable miles....

That's great to know. I actually worked at Central Market when I was in High School so I'll pop over and check it out next time I'm in that neighborhood.

And if you included miles I would definitely switch from Snoqualmie Ice Cream...
