Nosh or Not? Smearcase FroCo

Labels: - - - -
[New for 2024] By any chance do you remember when Nick tried a few pints of gelato from the Fresh Market grocery store? Well, we had stopped at the Qdoba in Mansfield when I noticed some random stores in the back part of the plaza. I decided to drive through when I noticed a Fresh Market grocery store! Apparently Fresh Market came to the area in 2024, which was the same year that this debuted:

DQ Caramel Apple Cheesecake Blizzard

Labels: - - - - -
[New for August 2026] Geez, DQ is busting out five new blizzard flavors in the span of 3 months? That's pretty cool right, especially considering that the last 3 three new blizzards I tried were all pretty meh. Anyway, I've got four options to try, but I thinking I'm going to go with the brandy new August blizzard of the month...

Muddy Bites Strawberry Roundup

Labels: - - - - -
[New for 2026] I love the idea of Muddy Bites even if I dont love every flavor. Also, while I often get annoyed with companies constantly trying to re-flavor a product, there are times when it makes sense, like with these new...

Nestle Red, White & Blueberry Drumstick

Labels: - - - - - - - -
[Walmart Limited Edition for 2026] I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I miss real Drumsticks. They were a goto for me in the 200X years and definitely a more frequent guest during the first five years of this blog. The last non-traditional Drumstick review was in 2024 (the slurpee version) and then the last time I had an official, coated Drumstick was way back in 2015 (the butterfinger version). 

That's kind of crazy if you think about it. How did they go from being one of my favorite treats to nothingness? I blame the food science that is frozen dairy dessert. I do get tempted every year to bring a new box home, and then, finally, one day at Walmart not so long ago, I saw this eye catching box and decided to bring home...

Arethusa Farm Raspberry Ice Cream

Labels: - - -
To be honest, I can't remember where I first saw Arethusa Farm pints. I saw them at Big Y a few years ago, but I know I saw them before that at Whole Foods or Stop & Shop (or maybe both). They don't have a million flavors, but I'm always tempted to try another brand. So, let's crack open a pint of...

[New for Early 2026] We headed out to Hannaford last night and what do we find but a fun little mix of new Ben & Jerry's (and Little Debbie) stuff. I am currently starved, so let's unwrap a.....

Haagen-Dazs Dark Cherry Truffle Ice Cream

Labels: - - - -
[New for Early 2026] There are three new HD pints this year, but two have nuts (Peanut Butter Brittle and Coffee Almond Toffee), so we'll need to try those at a later date. What I can bring home is this tasty looking pint, and I dont mind that, because I do love a good cherry ice cream. Let's scoop into...

Van Leeuwen Black Raspberry Chip Bars

Labels: - - -
[New for mid 2025] You know the best part of going to a new grocery store? All the ice cream stock is fresh! I didn't plan on buying anything frozen (because I'm still trying to clean the freezer), but then I saw several things I needed to try (despite not being sure how new they were). I do love black raspberry, so I think it's time we try....

Haagen-Dazs Summer Berry Belgian Waffle Cone

Labels: - - - - -
[New for 2025] (Disclaimer: I bought these over the summer but didn't try them until after I had covid) Butter cookie cones are out (after two years), and Belgian waffle cones are in. I guess this makes sense considering that I never clicked with the cookie cones. These should work better. The new cones come in vanilla salted caramel, triple chocolate fudge, toasted almond fudge, and...

Have you had Sweetkiwi Froyo?

Labels: - - -
[New for 2024 - listed as sold out on their website]
I am of the age that I totally remember eating smurf yogurt.... ok, technically I am of the age that I remember remembering eating Smurf yogurt hehehehe. Anyway, I was a "fairly" picky eater as a kid, but I loved my Smurf yogurt. If I had to guess, it probably had a lot of sweetness and not a lot of tang. I was also a huge fan of putting grapenuts in my yogurt back then, but that's a story for another day.

Anyway, Shaw's was the only place really stocking new 2025 stuff and in the mix was Sweetkiwi, which is frozen whipped Greek yogurt. If you don't know them, they were on shark tank in April 2023 (season 14, ep19). They released two Smurf flavors in both faux pints and bars. The flavors are Blue Cookie Crunch and....

Wow, just shy of three years since I've talked about Target's favorite day ice cream. It just hasn't caught my attention recently, but then I saw these two weeks ago.

More Dr. Bombay Flavors?

Labels: - - - - - -
[New for Mid 2025] I can't believe I'm saying this, but two more Dr. Bombay flavors will be showing up at your local Walmart! I don't know who is buying these, but someone is!

credit: Dr. Bombay / Walmart

Sticky Caramel Apple is green apple sherbet and caramel ice cream with crunchy peanuts and salted caramel swirls.

Long Beach Fruit Cart is mango sherbet and coconut ice cream with pineapple pieces and spiced mango swirls.

Are you interested by either of these at four bucks a pint? Maybe you've seen them? I'll admit that they are certainly creative sounding, but with their track record, it's still not enough to bring me back in the Dr. Bombay fold. What do you think?

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Covered Strawberry

Labels: - - - - -
[New for Early 2025] I was a little concerned that this next flavor appeared to be a Valentine's flavor and yet was seemingly absent from store shelves on Valentine's day. Well, I was at Walmart this morning (2/27) when I found a dented pint sitting amongst all the other non-new flavors. Thankfully I spied one more pint hiding far behind it, and that one wasn't dented. Let's finally dive in to a flavor that should be right up my alley.

Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches

Labels: - - - -
We went to Roche Bros for the first time in a long time in hopes of introducing my wife to those delicious Good Batch ice cream sandwiches that I tried back in the August 2022 (reviewed here). Unfortunately they were gone, but in their place was a whole variety of treats from Nightingale Ice Cream sandwiches. Here's what we picked for $4.49 a pop:

News: More Dr. Bombay Flavors

Labels: - - -
[New for 2024] Sorry, I took this photo at Walmart back in July and forgot to post it. Tentatively, I don't plan on picking any of these up, but if one of you has some positives comments about the new flavors, maybe I'll give one of them a try.

2024 Dr. Bombay Ice Cream Flavors

Strawberry Cream Dream: Strawberry sherbet and vanilla ice cream, with golden sandwich cookies and strawberry jam swirls.

Baked Blueberry Muffin: Cinnamon sugar ice cream with crunchy streusel pieces and blueberry jam swirls

Peanut Butter Jelly Time: Grape Jelly Sherbet and peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter chips and a grape jelly swirl.

Technically, one of my instagram followers thought that these new flavors were better than most of the initial flavors, so there is that. They certainly sound like they should be fun, but I am unfortunately pretty distrustful after last year's samplings (review here).
