Nissan’s zero-emission ice cream truck uses recycled EV batteries

Posted on 20/06/2019 by Engadget RSS Feed

For some, chasing the neighborhood ice cream truck is a favorite summer tradition. But many ice cream trucks have diesel engines, and older models keep those engines running to power the freezers. That means you get a hefty side of CO2 emissions with...

Pizza Flavored Ice Cream Served on a Slice

Posted on 26/06/2017 by Shane McGlaun

I really like ice cream, and I really like pizza. The problem is that after an entire life of eating Blue Bell ice cream or Braum’s, I am a total ice cream snob. Breyers, Blue Bunny, and whatever else you can find at the store doesn’t do the trick. As such, I’m not sure what to think of this pizza flavored ice cream.

I’m traditionally a food segregationist, I don’t like to mix sweet and savory. I’d give this a go though. It’s got a frosty scoop of pizza flavored ice cream sitting atop a slice of pizza. So basically, you can have your entree and dessert at the same time. If you prefer a more traditional serving, you can get the pizza ice cream in a cone, too.

Have you ever tried pizza ice cream on a slice of pizza⁉️ ‍♂️

The mix up is a collaboration between of a pair of next door restaurants in Philadelphia called Little Baby’s Ice Cream and Pizza Brain. To confuse matters even further, the dish is called the “Frankford Ave. Taco.” Huh, wha?

THE FRANKFORD AVE TACO LIVES ON! #WHQ2311

This Cotton Candy Burrito Must Be What Unicorns Poop

Posted on 23/06/2017 by Shane McGlaun

I like me some burritos, but I am a burrito snob. I once ate a gas station breakfast burrito and my anus hated me for a week. I now stick with burritos I see being made to order from Chipotle; thankfully they are on approximately every corner in Colorado Springs. That all said, I would SO eat this cotton candy burrito.

This cotton candy burrito comes from a place in Sarnia, Ontario called Sugar Sugar and it has a ice cream core wrapped in cotton candy. It sort of looks like a unicorn turd, but a turd I would eat the sprinkles out of. I wonder when my trusty dog Jetty McJetface eats a turd if this is what his little doggy eyes see?

This is an ICE CREAM BURRITO wrapped in COTTON CANDY! Conceived out of a dessert shop in Ontario, CANADA, the filling is ice cream, the proverbial tortilla is flattened cotton candy. Who's into it?! MORE INFO, CLICK LINK IN OUR BIO!!

I hope those colored dots inside are actually Nerds candy and not sprinkles. The best thing Dairy Queen ever made, and then discontinued, was the Nerds Blizzard. I want this so bad.

This Dino Ice Cream is literally all types of cool! Designed to resemble a dinosaur fossil trapped in ice or amber, the redesigned stick and the ice-cream shape complement each other beautifully to make this dessert prehistorically palatable!

Available in 3 flavors (Orange, Strawberry, and Grape) these Dino Ice candies are perfectly playful treats for the hot summers! Ice candy on the outside, with a prehistoric dinosaur trapped inside. No preservatives included!

Designers: Sasha B. Perelman & Katya Mushkina.

Expect Crappy Service at the Poop Café

Posted on 02/08/2016 by Conner Flynn

This new cafe in Toronto is the s**t! The Poop Café Dessert Bar is a brand new restaurant opening up in Toronto later this month. It is fantastically fecal. No really. Everything on the menu is brown and looks like human excrement. Because humanity is doomed, that’s why.

Customers eat out of toilet shaped dishes while sitting on top of fake toilets. They take the theme seriously. I have no idea if all the beverages look urine or if the napkins look like toilet paper, but if not they are really missing an opportunity. I also have to wonder if some of the more special items come with the odd piece of corn or peanuts.You might as well go all the way with the theme.

Presumably they came up with the idea to open this place after realizing that the ice cream and poop emojis are basically the same thing:

Yogurtland Gets Mario-Themed Flavors

Posted on 06/07/2016 by Shane McGlaun

I’m not familiar with the Yogurtland franchise, but I presume it’s a frozen yogurt place along the lines of TCBY and the throngs of similar stores. Yogurtland has some flavors coming soon that fans of Mario might want to check out.

The first two flavors to land were Mario’s Chocolate Gelato and Bowser’s Dragon Berry Tart. The remaining calendar includes the following flavors: July 8: Toad’s Rocky Road; July 15: Yoshi’s Honeydew; July 22: Goomba’s Iced Coffee; July 29: Princess Peach Tart; August 5: Donkey Kong Banana Cream; August 12: Shy Guy’s Pineapple Lime Coconut Sorbet; August 19: Koopa Troopa’s Lemon cupcake (I’m totally in on this one); and on August 26: Luigi’s White Chocolate Pistachio.

Some of those flavors sound gross, but others might be good. I’m in for just about anything lemon flavored. I’d pass on anything coffee or melon flavored, but that’s just me. I’m just glad they didn’t do anything that tastes like mushrooms.

Kyoto Café Offers Cat Parfaits: Catfaits

Posted on 22/02/2016 by Shane McGlaun

In Japan, odd foods are nothing new. In fact, odd seems to be the norm. We don’t get much of the whimsy that Japan likes here in the states. Take these cute and tasty looking cat parfaits. They aren’t made out of real cats mind you, they appear to be ice cream mostly.

Made in a traditional Kyoto townhouse transformed into a café, these ice cream treats are decorated up like cats complete with ears, tails, and whiskers. There is some fruit and other stuff crammed in the bowls as well.

It seems the desserts are insanely popular, selling out quickly after they are offered. At this point, you have to get there before 1:00 pm to get one for yourself. Combine ice cream and cats and my daughter would eat them all.
