Haagen-Dazs Peanut Butter Pie Ice Cream

2013-05-17T22:28:00.000-04:00

[New for 2013] Ok, I know everyone and their uncle seems to have found today's flavor before I did, but that doesn't mean I'm still not excited. Peanut Butter is one of my favorite things. It's right up their with chocolate, and ice cream, and pie, and, well, you get the idea. If only someone could mix up all of my favorite things into one easy to hold package.... Behold! I've got my grubby

Stonyfield Gotta Have Java Nonfat Frozen Yogurt

2013-05-16T23:19:00.000-04:00

[By Nick] Awhile back, one of our readers mentioned that in their opinion, Stonyfield made the greatest coffee frozen yogurt. Well to be honest, I had tried their Gotta Have Java flavor a long time ago but couldn’t remember being as blown away as they were. So with that comment, I thought it was about time I revisited that flavor and gave it a proper review. Hopefully my memory is fuzzy and it

TCBY Frozen Yogurt Strawberry Swirl Bars Review

2013-05-15T22:45:00.000-04:00

[New for 2012] If ever there was a review that was forgotten, it's this one right here. These bad boys were in the 4 year anniversary photo and I have no excuse for why it's taken a year to post the pictures. It's not these are bad, I actually kind of like them, I just never put them up, so my apologies to all. A box is (6) 2.75 fluid ounce TCBY strawberry swirl bars Paper Wrapper

New Orleans Ponchatoula Strawberry and New Orleans Baked Alaska

2013-05-14T21:45:00.001-04:00

April showers never happened, and now here we are in beautiful May. The strawberries in the store aren't quite in season yet, but that doesn't mean I'm not in the mood for a nice fresh berry kick. This is New Orleans Ponchatoula Strawberry Ice Cream. "A smooth and creamy strawberry ice cream bursting with the freshest Ponchatoula strawberries". I do love strawberry ice cream! You know, now

Arby's Triple Berry Shake and Nosh Episode 3

2013-05-13T15:00:00.000-04:00

No sooner was Nosh Episode 2 in the can then I was already planning my treats to dig in to for Episode 3. I've had a hankerin' for Arby's ever since I saw their new shake, and yes I know I swore off Arby's shakes, but it's time for a visit. Mmmm, I can taste the curly fries already... oh, which reminds me, I found Arby's curly fries in the freezer section of my local grocery store. They ain't bad

Yoplait Raspberry Fig Greek Frozen Yogurt

2013-05-12T22:24:00.000-04:00

[By Nick, new for 2012] All I can say is wow right now. Today marks the one year anniversary of my first review here at On Second Scoop. To be honest, that was one year longer than I thought I would ever write for a website. I've had my ups and downs as well some surprises this year. I am very grateful to be able to share them all with you guys. I just wanted to take a second to thank some people

Talenti Gelato Chocolate Chip (Stracciatella)

2013-05-11T21:10:00.003-04:00

Ok, a lunchtime excursion has led me to Roche Brothers grocery store. Hmmmm, looks like they've gotten a fresh shipment of talenti gelato as these frost free containers are sporting the new lid design (but not the new container design(?)). Hmmm, do I go chocolate chip or do I go vanilla since everyone raves about it? Ok, after comparing the short ingredient list on both containers, I go with

Friday Night Fight with Blue Bunny Birthday Party and Perry's Party Ice Cream Sandwiches

2013-05-10T21:33:00.002-04:00

I love a good friday night fight, especially when I've got two very similar products to compare. Oh yeah, it's been way too long since the last fight. Get your taste buds ready! In the Blue Trunks, weighing in at 4.25 ounces, it's the Blue Bunny Birthday Party Ice Cream Sandwich. Blue Bunny has recently upgraded their standard sandwiches to the heavyweight class by coming in at "30% bigger"

Skinny Cow Chocolate Covered Cherry Cones

2013-05-09T23:08:00.000-04:00

[By Nick, Limited Edition for 2013] At the beginning of the year, Dubba and I made predictions for what this year would be like in the ice cream world. My prediction was that there would be more fruity flavors. Well Skinny Cow is here to support my prediction with their new limited edition Chocolate Covered Cherry Cones. I have to commend Skinny Cow for venturing into the severely neglected

Free stuff and the State of the Freezer Address 5th Anniversary Edition

2013-05-08T16:32:00.001-04:00

Do you know how many times I've written this post in my head? At least a half dozen if not more. So many different things I want to say after five years. Do I tell stories or visions? Do I look back or look ahead? I don't know. I think one blog year equals at least 10 real years, so that makes me over 50 in internet years right? I mean, I already had my mid-blog-life crisis, so it's all vacations

New Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup A Walmart Exclusive Ice Cream

2013-05-06T07:03:00.001-04:00

[New for 2013] Ahhhhh, there's nothing like the first mow of the season.... to remind you how old you are. Hehehehe, ok, I may be young at heart but I'm pretty sure my joints are twice as old as they should be. Ahhh, it is what it is. I think it's time to call it a night and reward myself with what I found at Walmart this morning. This is Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice cream.

Ben & Jerry's Pina Colada Ice Cream A Limited Edition for 2013

2013-05-05T13:26:00.003-04:00

[New Pint form for 2013] As mentioned in our 2013 Product Guide, Ben & Jerry's has decided to take last year's scoop shop only test flavor Pina Colada and turn it into a limited edition pint flavor for our mid-year pleasure. The official release dates are from May to August, and sure enough, it's the beginning of May and what do we have here at Walmart? Tada! Ben & Jerry's Pina Colada is

G.S. Gelato Sea Salt Caramel Review

2013-05-04T11:49:00.000-04:00

[By Nick] Last up from G.S. Gelato is their Sea Salt Caramel Gelato. After my previous experiences with Sea Salt Caramel flavors, my expectations for this one are very high. G.S. has yet to let me down when it comes to delivering the flavor so here’s hoping that streak continues. Once again, I just want to remind you that the G.S. line of gelato is only a base, though after my Tiramisu review I

Choco Peanut Butter Brownie Blizzard New May DQ Blizzard of the Month

2013-05-02T14:45:00.000-04:00

[New for May 2013] It's the start of a new month and that means it's time to scope out the new blizzard. Dairy Queen is continuing the peanut butter streak from April's peanut butter filled blizzard. I've got (fairly) high hopes for this one. As advertised Peanut butter topping, choco chunks and brownie pieces in creamy vanilla soft serve My Lunch It's got a nice light beige peanut

New Dunkin Donuts Berry Blast Coolatta Review

2013-05-01T07:11:00.000-04:00

[New for 2013] I love coolattas, well, I love strawberry coolattas and I long for the day when another coolatta takes it's rightful place as a worthy successor to my beloved favorite. There have been plenty of imposters, coolattas that lacked the fruity puree that makes strawberry so special. Well, on the way to work what do I hear but the traffic being brought to me by the new berry blast

Carl's Jr. Strawberry Poptart Ice Cream Sandwich

2013-04-30T07:03:00.000-04:00

Wooowee! I bet you're stoked that I got my grubby little paws on something that's only in California. Thing is, I didn't go to California, or even leave the state. Travel that far for an ice cream sandwich? Even I'm not that crazy. Carl's Jr doesn't cross the Mississippi, and his brother Hardee's doesn't venture into "new" territory (new jersey, new york and new england), so I'm out of luck...

Boneless KFC and Episode 2 of The Nosh Show

2013-04-29T09:19:00.003-04:00

Guess what time it is? Episode 2 of The Nosh Show is up! Head on over to The Nosh Show website to listen and to see a complete rundown of everything we talk about. Please feel free to let us know what you think! I don't know how long I can keep up the trend, but I'd like to throw at least a bit of a review in with each new episode announcement of The Nosh Show. Since we'll be starting the

Cedar Crest Elephant Tracks Ice Cream Review

2013-04-28T20:59:00.000-04:00

[By Nick] Back when I made my first order from ice cream source last year, I put two pints of Cedar Crest on my list. When my shipment arrived I was dismayed they weren’t in the box. After some interaction with their customer service team, I was told that they were all out of the missing items and that they would refund my money. Well that was nice and all but I was pretty disappointed that I

Walgreen's Delish Moose Tracks Ice Cream Sandwiches Review

2013-04-26T20:49:00.003-04:00

You know what keeps me blogging year after year? It's that magical moment when you find a treat that tastes even better than it sounds. Oh yeah my friends, I had one of those moments today. These are good & deLISH Moose Tracks Ice Cream Sandwiches from Walgreens, nay, they are SUPER PREMIUM ICE CREAM SANDWICHES proclaims the box! It's premium vanilla ice cream with peanut butter flakes swirled

Heath Klondike Bar Review

2013-04-25T10:31:00.000-04:00

[By Nick] I say it’s time to take a look at one of my favorite Klondike bars. The funny thing is, I’ve been eating Heath Klondike Bars for years but up until a couple of months ago I never actually had a Heath Candy Bar. Sure, I’ve had toffee candy bars mixed into ice cream and all that but I don't think I've ever had the actual candy bar. I was a little taken aback that the candy is actually

New Blue Bunny 100% Frozen Yogurt - Chocolate Fudge Brownie and White Mint Chocolate Chunk

2013-04-23T22:26:00.001-04:00

[New for 2013] Blue Bunny is dishing up two new frozen yogurt flavors this year and they sent them both over for me to try. I've liked their all natural frozen yogurt since I first had it. Last year they improved their formula and started calling it Naturally frozen yogurt, and now they've changed the name yet again, this time to 100% natural frozen yogurt. Confused? Don't be, it's just semantics

McDonald's Strawberry Shake and the bestest food podcast ever

2013-04-22T10:11:00.001-04:00

Did you hear the news? Marvo has started up a podcast called The Nosh Show and for the first episode it will be him, Eric the Junk Food Guy, Ryan the founder of GrubGrade, and yours truly. Sure I only blog about ice cream, but the amount of time I spend roaming the streets and grocery stores for new frozen treats will hopefully let me keep up with my very knowledgeable co-hosts. grrr, this

Perry's Movie Time Ice Cream Stand Flavor

2013-04-21T22:16:00.000-04:00

[New for 2013] Perry's Ice Cream (of New York) is rocking five new ice cream stand flavors this year and they were kind enough to send them all over as part of their ingenious #PerrysTasteTester project. Perry's Movie Time ice cream is popcorn flavored ice cream with sea salt caramel swirls and caramel truffles. That's right, POPCORN flavored ice cream. Turkey Hill tried a popcorn flavor long

Breyers Blasts Chocolate Covered Pretzel Review

2013-04-20T14:06:00.000-04:00

[New for 2013] If there was just one Breyers Blasts flavor that I had awesome hopes for, it's this one. Oh sure, my reality-based expectations are low, but part of me has hope behind hope that somehow this one works. With fingers (and toes) crossed, may I present Breyers Chocolate Covered Pretzel BLAST. It's chocolate flavored covered pretzel pieces and a fudge swirl in golden vanilla flavored

Yoplait Honey Caramel Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars

2013-04-18T22:32:00.002-04:00

[By Nick] So just like Dubba, I also received a free shipment of products from Wells. When I got the list of the products I would be receiving, the lady mentioned she would be including one of her favorite products in the shipment. I see no better way to start off this slew of reviews than by taking a look at that product. Without further ado, I give to you Yoplait Honey Caramel Bars. Nick
