Is what the average American consumes per year

3 is Sweden and 1.5 in Israel

Oh, and according to workers at the ice cream factory, the employees could eat ice cream for free as much as they'd like.

But I'd do it.

I rarely eat ice cream

I eat Skinny Cow ice cream which is low in calories and fat. The Chocolate and Mint is wonderful...

It's pretty strange that up here in northern Europe where you'd expect people to want to warm up, the most popular dessert by far is ice cream. In southern Europe, where you'd expect people to want to cool down, the most popular desserts are things like chocolate pudding, cake and tiramisu.

Ice cream, that sounds yummy! Frozen custard sounds even better! With snickers mixed in!

...and then there is the American "go for broke" taste. Rocky Road ice cream with peanut butter, jelly and huge marshmallows anyone?

I must admit though that I was tempted by the "Apollo" at the Krölle-Bölle ice cream place on Bornholm, Denmark. I took a picture when somebody else ordered it:



That bad boy had tons of soft serve ice cream in it, at least six scoops of regular ice cream, sprinkles and everything else you see in the picture. It cost around $13 US, but would have been worth it.

Is it the pb & j or the snickers that would make you sick?

blueblossom said:

I strongly doubt that anybody actually finished one on their own. They had fun trying though, and I also saw a whole family sharing one. I would have wanted to have my picture taken eating one, but unfortunately I'd run out of time and money, plus I already had a stomach ache from a huge breakfast buffet.

MoniGram said:

Okay I don't know what's really in that stuff, but it always seems to me that you guys like to make evil concoctions out of all kinds of random and crazy sweets.

retina said:

Rocky road is one of my favs! yummy! But you are right, we do come up with some crazy concoctions!

MoniGram said:

peanut butter, jelly, and marshmallows.....yeuk....

blueblossom said:

That's what I thought too. But now I really want a chocolate frozen custard concrete with snickers!

MoniGram said:

Notice how the girl has taped her wrist just to be able to hand those things over!

I eat one or two little cartons of Haagen Dazs icecream a week.

Vanilla Bean or Pistachio. Sometimes chocolate.

I bet I eat more than that.

Ice Cream is sooooo my weakness.

CarrieMpls said:

Yeah, I know I eat more than that. It is my weakness too. I purposely only buy it once a month b/c if I have it it is gone very quickly. I totally think I could eat an entire 1/2 gallon if I let myself.

Yeah I know...
