No singing at the Cold Stone by our place, we actually live between three of them, and they are all all just tired HS kids schlepping out the ice cream.
We usually only get it when we can use the coupon on the back of the movie ticket we used that day. And we don't watch many movies.
I guess there's supposed to be some novelty to the whole idea of getting some "special" ice cream. I guess it's okay, but I don't crave it. The fact that we live between three of them is like TSS (The Starbucks Syndrome): way too many locations and wayyyy overpriced.
Not that I am being some coffee and ice cream snob, but they've been marketed so that people think it's something they need to add to their daily routine. Climb into EssYouVee. Go to drive-thru at MickeyDs so the kids get a healthy breakfast. Go to drive-thru at Fourbucks to get a half cafe doppio ristretto icy chillatta blended soy. Drop off kids at school that is one block away from house. Etc....
