Beware!
 by Fëanor

Brothers and sisters, I bring you a warning! From one for whom it is already too late.

Last night I went to the supermarket to grab a couple of things, including some ice cream, because poppy and I were both having a craving. I was perusing the various flavors and found one that sounded tasty and didn't have too much fat or calories per serving. It was a cheesecake flavored ice cream with brownie bits in it, and I'm embarrassed to say it was also an American Idol branded flavor from Edy's called "Cheesecake Diva." But I didn't let the unfortunate name and nefarious commercial associations sway me - cheesecake ice cream with brownie in it sounded too good to pass up.

Then I got it home and put the first spoonful into my mouth. "This tastes... weird," I told poppy. She asked what it was, I explained, and she looked at me with horror. "Dude, you never get cheesecake ice cream! It always tastes horrible!"

My immediate thought was, "Why hasn't anyone told me this before?!" And so I pass this fact on to you, so you may avoid my fate.

The fate of having a whole pint quart (!) of horrible ice cream in the freezer.

Of course, the brownie bits are still good. And you know I finished that whole first bowl. But it's irritating to waste all those calories and fat on something that doesn't taste completely delicious.
