Hmm... I'm usually not a fan of chocolate ice cream... it's just not right, in my mind.

Anyways, I win, because last nite, after reading this thread, I remembered we had a pint of Half Baked that no one had even touched downstairs! Oh yeah, that was great.

As for Marble Slab, I live in Atlanta, where both Marble Slab and its obvious competitor, Cold Stone (even the name's similar...) is also here. I've never had Cold Stone out of respect for Marble Slab, which came first in Memphis, where I used to live. Whenever I go to Marble Slab, I always get the Big Dipper size cup... the really big size! It's awesome... anyways, the combination I usually get is peanut butter ice cream with butterfinger, but last time I went, they didn't have that, so I got graham cracker in cinnamon ice cream. It was all right, but it didn't compare to my favorite!

Well, I just went to Bruster's (dunno how many of you have those), and I got me two scoops of peanut butter cookie dough. Oh, how deliciously yummy.

Major bummer... with the closing of the formerly awesome and formerly extremely convenient location, the only other one that's not in the airport is way, way out of the way.

Dippin' Dots are what they're called, usually... it was weird, though. First year I went to Camp ('bout 8 summers ago...), they were marketing them as Space Dots... then later, I found out through every other place I got them that they were actually called Dippin Dots... so yeah. Personally, I'm a fan of Bananna split. But why do you think the price is outrageous? $3 is a decent deal... it is ice cream, after all...

Cookie dough? Geez... sorry, but that's the one thing I AVOID at a specialty place like Ben and Jerry's... just an opinion, though.
