As if the Girl Scout cookies weren't bad enough...
NOW Dreyers Ice Cream has teamed up with the Girl Scouts to create extra special, "Limited Edition" flavors. Have you guys seen those in the stores yet??

Of course, we HAD to try one. The kids forced me. Really. They did. :eyes:

Vanilla ice cream with the Samoas cookies. Coconut, carmel and chocolate......

OMG, that stuff is deadly! Why is it that the things that taste so good are so bad for us?? :shrug:

5. Is Dreyer's another name for Edy's Grand?
Edited on Sun Mar-12-06 11:32 PM by Kire
This thread inspired me to go to my freezer for some Edy's Grand Samoas Flavor Ice Cream (not my favorite flavor, unfortunately)

7. Yes.
That's one of those East Coast/ West Coast name deals. Like Hellman's and Best Foods.

I really don't get it. :shrug:

8. It sounds like the exact same flavor, but with a different brand name.
I've never heard of Edy's Grand. Maybe it's a east coast thang. We're out here on the west coast. Hmmm...

Did you have a big bowl? :hi:

15. Hey, thanks
Girl Scouts Tagalong Cookie Ice Cream -- rich vanilla ice cream
swirled with peanut butter and fudge and mixed with pieces of Girl
Scout Tagalongs Cookies.


I hope it has lots of Peanut Butter in it. That's the best part! :9

13. Well, the very first one we tried was one that had Tagalongs in it.
the peanut-buttery flavored one. It was Ok. I didn't love it. I'm more partial to coconut, personally.

Look for it, though, if you're into it. They also have one with Thin Mints.

:hi:

20. Interesting name for an ice cream flavor.
Is that what results from forgetting to diaper the baby?
:rofl:

19. Lactose intolerance has its advantages.
I don't care how tasty that shit is. I'm keeping my willpower *and* my internal organs, thank you very much.
