"This milkshake tastes like milk!" (long)

Next they'll be putting peanut butter in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! Potatoes in Potato Salads! Where will it end?

We're putting peanut butter in our wedding cake! Strawberry cake with peanut butter mousse filling. It tastes like a pb & j sandwich.

When I was in NJ, Hoffmans!

Dangit, now I'm craving Hoffmans and it's a summer weekend so I don't dare venture there for fear of Bennys...

Of course, being a local, I can solve that problem by going during the week. Somehow I don't think my husband will object much.

Hehe...even better when you can make 'em yourself to your exact specifications!

Trust me, I know. As I said, I DID work there! Of course, when it comes to those things, sometimes the simple things are just great. I myself LOVE vanilla Fribbles. But then, there are very few flavors you could make of Fribbles that I would NOT love.

Actually, my time at Friendly's inspired a creation later in life. They had sherbet cooler drinks, which even at the time I thought would be great with booze.

A few years ago, when a girlfriend gave me a couple bottles of Midori (a melon-flavored liqueur that I LOVE), I put that to the test and threw Midori, Sprite, and lime sherbet in the blender....and WOW were those awesome! Great for a cool, refreshing summer drink! (For people with less of a sweet tooth than me, I would recommend replacing the Sprite with club soda.)

My senior year we got a little Friendly's ice cream station where we had regular ice cream and Fribble mix (which is unflavored ice milk; they use that with flavored syrup to make the Fribbles).

They brought a Friendly's to my NJ town back in the 60s, about the same time I discovered the evil weed.
Mmmmm, Fribbles...!

Haven't had one in decades and perhaps the glasses of my memory are a bit rose-tinted but still- mmmmmmm!

I doubt it. They really are awesome!

Does "hand dipped" mean hand-scooped ice cream where you're from?

Basically, yes. The freezers the containers of ice cream are kept for scooping were/are called dipping cabinets.

Sounds like the idiots I encountered on holiday in Devon who were whining that their ice cream wasn't "proper ice cream". -.-

Yeah, cuz synthetic Mr Whippy style ice cream is sooo much better than ice cream made from fresh milk and clotted cream!

I'd ask her to slowly repeat the word that she is saying. MILKshake... Ow. IT hurts my brain!!!

Me: "I'm sorry, but you've just used up all the patience I've allotted you for the day. We're closed now. Goodbye." *closes drive through window and locks it*

I wish I could get away with saying this. Actually, my boss probably wouldn't care if I did, but I don't think I'll risk it.
