Some in here have eaten 4-5 pints in a sitting, so i guess your situation is not as bad, but still a law of diminishing returns with a half gallon IMO.

Reminds me of Gbullocks 5 pints of B&J/HD.

And the guy on the ICI forums who ate ½ gallon twice every saturday.

I'm still going to do a 6 Pint Challenge at some point on my channel. Kitchen Sink is first. I'm not a competitive eater so it could turn out very, very badly.

[jubjubrsx]

No, because I have a good relationship with food.

thanks sometimes I think im kind of boarderline

damn 4-5 pints in a sitting wow, of pints which are usually super dense premium ice cream would be tough seems like....well short story short freezer/refrigerator been dieing and it was throw the ice cream away, which is a sin imo(unless its a frozen dairy dessert thing)... or just eat it cause I couldnt fit it in the temp cooler HA!

kind of jealous of all the seasonal flavors you guys are getting though, seems like it takes a while to for the seasonal stuff to come to my area.

which kitchen sink challenge? if you are talking the one at the sf creamery in walnut creek...that is an absolute beast the ice cream is so dense, been there quite a few times and seen alot of people fail. but a tasty one for sure.

ERIK from watching your channel might suggest bringing this for the kitchen sink challenge LOL

Go back a few pages.

I'll let the cat out of the bag - For my 100th video I'll be doing my first ice cream eating challenge. The Kitchen Sink at Walt Disney World is going down.

This is the one:

I saw your freezer shot, so probably not a bad way of clearing up some space. I dont think it would be that difficult if you take them out at the same time. By the time you'll reach pint 3 or 4 they're going to be so melted its basically sluge.

Lactaid probably helps too!

Had Haagen Dazs Cookies and Creme today.Decent flavor. Your standard vanilla base with cookies blended in. Typical dense HD base. OK amount of cookie pieces. No creme filling. B- Better than gelato fiasco.


Edit: Out of curiosity, do you know how much the kitchen sink costs? Disney prices are usually through the roof.

Edit: Checked google. 28.99. Not bad.

[gbullock32]

When I did the 5 pints it was over a few hour period, so not bad; didn't do it all in one go haha.

[The Solution]

Picked up Perry's Pumpkin based off your review. Hope it is up there in the ranks. That Whip Cream Ice Cream Swirl looked HNNGGG

My body is ready.

[psychodiver9]

TJ pumpkin is very good. Picked up Blvd Brownie Cheesecake. Very meh. Havent really liked anything from High Rd too much

[lazymuchacho]

swirled of difference had too thin pb swirls and too much raspberry. It needed thicker pb swirles and i'd give it a B maybe. Blondie ambition was surprisingly delicious. Caramel cookie crunch has FAT caramel swirls. the most i've ever had out of any talenti pint

I agree with you. The raspberry is way too strong.

My pints have always had a decent peanut butter swirl to balance out the jam so I can't complain, but interested in hearing other takes on it as well.

You folks prob didn't like Save our Swirled either then?

[KidSchutty]

That place looks good. What town, my girlfriends family is from oneida, I live 25 mins outside manhattan. But that pizza looks crazy good

Vestal, specifically. Or did you mean the pizza? Lol

I thought SoS was decent, but mostly because I wasnt expcting PB. I'm not one for fruity flavors in general.

[gbullock32]

Stumbled on to this... want to try it but busy the next couple weeks with work... may go for it though. Yeah, wont be premium or anything, but for how easy it looks, and the possibilities... Chef Bob! Ready the recipes perhaps?

[addictR3]

how does it rank with all the pumpkins you tried?

Agreed. I think I had two tiny brownie pieces in my entire pint.

Private Selection Pecan Pie


After having such a good experience with English Toffee Caramel, I had to give Pecan Pie a go as well since I am from the south and it is easily my favorite pie. The vanilla base is pretty weak and not dense at all. I have not had an ice cream melt on me this quick in quite some time. It is a standard vanilla flavor but they incorporate brown sugar, which was a nice addition to replicate an actual pecan pie.



The pecans are chopped into bits about the size of mini chocolate chips. They add a nice crunch factor to the pint, but you can’t really taste a pecan flavor from them due to the base and other mix-ins. The chocolate flakes are even smaller, but add a nice hint of chocolate flavor to a few bites here and there. The pastry pieces resemble the bottom of a piecrust, as they are extremely soft and chewy. Unlike the other mix-ins, they are much larger and pair perfectly with the pecan pie sauce, the highlight of the pint.



You finally get that true pecan flavor from the sauce that is swirled throughout the entire pint. It isn’t as thick as I would have liked, but every bite left you with an amazing buttery aftertaste that replicates the taste of a pecan pie perfectly. My complaints would have been for bigger pecan pieces and slightly crunchier pastry crust pieces. I also would have liked more of a pecan pie flavor that was pretty much only present when you got a spoonful of the pecan sauce. Because of this, I can’t rank it higher than Private Selection’s English Toffee Caramel. However, I still think it is worth a scoop due to the uniqueness of the flavor that is hard to find in ice cream form nowadays. B-

Scooped Trader Joes Pumpkin. I agree with the rest on you here, this was pure pumpkin pie filling! Incredibly smooth flavor, super creamy and thick. It's probably the most "pumpkin" tasting ice cream I've had this season. In the end, I'm a big mix-in and/swirl fan, so my rankings this season go: Talenti > Turkey Hill (super close 2nd, that cinnamon graham swirl is hnngggg) > Trader Joes.

I've also only had a few spoonfuls of that B&J Peanut Butter and Jam Session. Great peanut butter base and swirl, but I'm not a big fan of the raspberry jam. I wish they would've went with grape (or even better, strawberry). Then again though, this was really my initial tasting.

Still haven't found Pumpkin Cheesecake though

After I'm done with these two flavors...I'm snagging Buckeye Chip by Graeters. Bout time I stepped up my Graeters game.

Have you tried walmart? A lot of people seem to find it there.

[SOH11]

Yeah...it seems like stores around me always are late getting seasonal flavors

Get Cookies & Cream Too
Thank me later when you are eating full size oreos

[psychodiver9]

how does it rank with all the pumpkins you tried?

Its as good if not better than Talenti. 1 and 1A

I like it a lot too. I do wish they would add a swirl or pie crust.

My thoughts as well! I think TJs would be top dog if it had a swirl.

7-Eleven GO! Yum Double Cookie Dough Ice Cream

http://theicecreaminformant.freeforu...ie-dough-cream




While this 7-eleven offering was not shy on the mix-ins (which I love) the base did not help this pint out. The weak base was a let down from the start, one of the weaker vanilla bean bases I have tried in my time. If they would of spent a bit more flavoring on their base to upgrade to something better like a Ben & Jerry, or a sugary vanilla base like Greater's offers this would be an easy A. The amount of mix-ins started to resemble that of 2nd street where it was loaded. The cookie dough pieces are not as large, but in a greater amount than most pints. From top to bottom this is loaded with chocolate, cookie dough, and a 2-3 pieces of brown sugar cookie dough. For cookie dough lovers this would be worth a scoop, for those who don't really care for cookie dough this is an easy pass.

Grade: B

[mnovotny85]

Went to my local grocery store to look for TH Pumpkin Pie again and they have Egg Nog in it's place in the seasonal section

The pizza place is in Old Forge, PA. Which must be a smaller town of the Wilkes-Barre Scranton area
