Anna North — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:40:00 EDT

Sad news, friends: today Dippin' Dots, the company that makes those tiny balls of ice cream sold in malls as "The Ice Cream of the Future," has filed for bankruptcy. The company is asking a judge to allow it to use cash collateral to stay in business. This would be good news for people who like novelty, and forms of ice cream that taste just slightly worse than normal. More »

Which Flavor Of Ice Cream Would You Swap For Sex?

Megan Carpentier — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:00:00 EST

Evangelical pastor Ed Young of Texas thinks his married followers should be having more sex with their spouses. Unlike most religious leaders who might find it a bit untoward to tape a pro-sex sermon while lounging on a bed, Young thinks the cure for the financial crisis and nearly any marital crisis — including infidelity, arguments, betrayals or porn addiction — is to fuck like God intended. To help his parishioners channel their inner horndogs, Young decreed that every married couple should knock boots every day for a week. His unmarried followers, however, should skip sex and, instead, "try eating chocolate cake." But chocolate cake is so... vanilla! Unlike ice cream, which comes in at least as many flavors as sexual proclivities. So, after the jump, in keeping with Young's advice, what ice cream you should be eating to prevent you from having the kind of sex you really, really want. More »

Emotional Eating

Margaret Hartmann — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:40:00 EST

A new study by Dr. David Vanata, associate professor at Ashland University asked 240 young adults to look at a list of 62 foods and rank each on happiness, excitability, pleasantness, and comfort. The top-ranked foods for emotional response, combining all four categories, are ice cream, chocolate, and cookies. The lowest-ranked are avocado, tofu, and soy.

I Scream, You Scream

Sadie Stein — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 13:20:00 EDT

In PETA's ongoing quest to alienate as many people from their message as possible, they're now taking on ice cream. Specifically, they want Ben and Jerry's to discontinue the use of cow's milk and use — wait for it — human breast milk. PETA's rationale is that some restauranteur in Switzerland is using breast milk in his food and it's nicer to cows. Apparently no consideration is given to the lactating women who would need to be "milked" to make a single pint of Cherry Garcia, but whatevs. B&J are characteristically laid-back about it, saying, "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child."

Remember When Mariah Carey Went Crazy?

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:00:00 EDT

Mariah Carey is flying high from her 18th #1 hit "Touch My Body," and she's been all over the place promoting her new album (Oprah yesterday, American Idol tonight), E=MC² which came out today. But remember when things were going so great in her career about seven years ago, specifically when she freaked out in the summer of 2001 from not sleeping? (Remember when Glitter was the first time we could all truly laugh after September 11?) Above is a clip from her July 2001 surprise appearance on TRL, in which she wore a skimpy outfit, handed out popsicles, and rambled about stuff that didn't make any sense. ("All I know is I just want one day off when I can go swimming and look at rainbows and like eat ice cream. And maybe like learn how to ride a bicycle.") A few days later, she checked into a mental facility. We're glad she's feeling a lot better and is back on top, but we kinda thought she was equally entertaining while hitting rock bottom. More »

What Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor Says About You

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 11:15:12 EDT

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a cute little time-waster yanked from IceCream.com, entitled "What does your favorite ice cream flavor say about you?" Well, here are some answers: Butter pecan is respectful, chocolate chip is competitive, coffee is flirtatious. One problem: Chocolate is conspicuously absent from the list. Another problem: The descriptions are just too damn perky and positive! So in honor of our feeling cranky, persnickety and cantankerous today, we've created our own version. Check it out after the jump. More »
