Where else can you get cake batter ice cream with cookie dough pieces? Certainly not Baskin Robbins or Dairy Queen.
Growing in Upstate NY and the northeast ingeneral--you NEVER went to Friendly's for the food--always the ice crea,--which was great. Fribbles, the sundaes, the watermelon slices (ice cream that looked like watermelon). It blows away Cold Stone. What ever happen to the Mom and Pops stores? I despise the corporate placeslike Cold stone00refuse to pay $5 for crappy ice cream. I agree with the guy about Breyers--I can get a half gallon for $3 at the store and it suits me just great
