People like to talk silly shit about liking their ice cream melty, but that’s missing the point. You can still have melty ice cream, and it will stay melty ice cream longer, without turning into a homogenized lukewarm soup. I mean, hell, just get you some flavoring and unrefrigerated milk if that’s what you’re willing to accept. I prefer to savor my frozen treats, and not feel like I have to nudge them to the point of perfection, only to then have to rush to shove them down the gob hole before the moment’s gone.
As it happens, I was using one of the bowls before today’s sale came up.
I’ve been leisurely making my way through this for about an hour. I prefer it that way. The bowl is still cool and there’s still a relatively cool mass in the middle. The sea of melty ice cream has yet to reach room temperature. I don’t always eat this slowly, but I love being able to and I love letting the experience last.
@joelmw The soupy sea is pleasantly cold. And it pairs nicely with the remaining solids.
Fwiw, I like lumpy mashed potatoes and I prefer a surfeit of ice in my cold drinks, which I generally consume from an insulated container. Maybe it’s a vibe. The partially melted but still cold and semisolid ice cream exists as a conjugation of the persistently chilly and the mixed media.
@AaronLeeJohnson It’s also some kind of vegan oat thing that I picked up not just on clearance, but from the local Tom Thumb at a seriously slashed price because they were shutting down the store. This is one of the last things remaining in one small end cap from multiple aisles of frozen goods. I’m not going to say that the experience is orgasmic, but I’m fairly certain it would be much worse at room temperature.
the thing is, though, is that the bowls don’t come with ice cream in them. you have to put the ice cream in yourself. shows you how things are changing nowadays.
I have to admit that I was eating some Rocky Road the other day, and it was getting quite melty. I thought about these Bowls. MEH! get out of my head eavesdropping. So, of course. I bought some…
Bought these a few months ago. The specs say “hand wash” and they mean it - unless you don’t mind odd shaped bowls. They still work, they’re just more of an oval shape now.
I had taken to keeping a normal bowl in the freezer for holding my ice cream and keeping it cold. It is a poor compromise as it isn’t all that effective, and I end up cursing it every time, which raises my blood pressure and temperature which in turn creates an unstable positive feedback system of anger and melting.
So I ordered these, both for my peace of mind and for cold ice cream. Thank you, Meh!

I like my ice cream to be a little melty.
@yakkoTDI Ice cream soup FTW!
@medz @yakkoTDI Exactly.
/giphy partially melted ice cream
I swear, like 50 or 60 more crappy items and Imma gonna cancel my membership.
@medz Is an item with 4.6 stars, 800+ reviews and a 71% discount crappy? Or is that just like, uhh… your opinion, man?
@medz Does the count reset on the rare occasion they sell something good?
@sammydog01 yes. It resets
@troy My opinion. My money. That’s all that matters. Offer something I need/want. Ok?
@medz @troy And what is it that you need/want/will fork over your money for?
@phendrick not sure. I’ll know it when I see it
@medz @phendrick Same!
these are perfect for margaritas- you just need extra salt for the wide rim.

@mediocrebot Awe some. Looks like enough salt.

You do you. Today’s deal is for people like me.

@joelmw It’s not very often that a picture of ice cream has a negative aura.

@AaronLeeJohnson lol The image is admittedly unappetizing. In my defense, I don’t really give a fuck. But you make a valid point.

Freezer space is already at a premium—take a hike!
@dvermilion and I have two full fridges and a floor freezer. I don’t know how y’all do it with just one fridge. I don’t even have kids.
@dvermilion @goldnectar We don’t have to store bodies so one fridge is enough.
@dvermilion @goldnectar @yakkoTDI that right, no bodies for me!
@dvermilion @goldnectar @yakkoTDI Does your trunk at least have AC?
Only 18 ounces? I don’t get off the couch for anything less then a quart. It has to be worth the effort to make me move.
@hchavers Guess that’s why they’re selling a four-pack to you. And you can order more than one set.
And XXXL shorts in tomorrow’s sale?
“AI” Garbage.
My ice cream doesn’t stay in the bowl long enough for it to melt.
@MarkML Ah, another kindred spirit.
the thing is, though, is that the bowls don’t come with ice cream in them. you have to put the ice cream in yourself. shows you how things are changing nowadays.
@omally For as long as it can take for things here to get delivered, these bowls can’t keep ice cream cold that long.
@Kyeh @omally This is even worse than laser printers that come with a “starter” cartridge.
@Kyeh @omally
Yeah, Fedex seems to be a mess these days. I wonder, though… Is it just with packages from Meh?
@ItalianScallion @omally
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another movie pic I know nothing about. The sands of time are sweeping me aside!
@UncleVinny Sands of time indeed. It’s The Parent Trap from 1998.
