The strange, sad end of Frusen Gladge, the best ice cream ever made anywhere...

[old mark]

I LOVE ice cream.

I was a professional bar band musician since the early 1960's, and I gave up and "recovered" from various drugs, alcohol and tobacco and lately many carbs. But I will NEVER give up Ice cream.

I LOVED Frusen Gladge! It was the absolute best ever, and I feel pity for those who will never know it.

Here is how it started and what happened to it:

I'll have to make do with Haagen Dazs, a poor substitute at best.
(And there is a great story about THAT, too!)

Enjoy. Have a great weekend.

1. A friend of mine brings me his homemade Kahlua/Vanilla ice cream every summer.

Yummy! Especially on top of fresh cobbler.

3. There is a place that sells it about 3 miles from where I am sitting right now!

I will try some this weekend.

Thanks.

4. If I weren't a vegan, this would have me in tears.

I LOVED that stuff. Much paper route money was spent on the chocolate. The plastic-like white containers...

5. I remember a commercial for that brand, from some time in the 80s

A very attractive woman licked a spoon IIRC.

To the best of my knowledge I've never seen the brand in any store. I had no idea that it still existed.
