Ice Cream Song

Bitter for Me, Sweet for You

Customer: "Do you have Mint Chocolate Chip?"

Me: "Yes, but it's called Bittersweet Mint."


Customer: "Oh...that's the green one, right?"


Me: "Right."

I thought for my first post I should write about an ice cream flavor that I like, but not my favorite one just yet. I have to have a little bit of suspense, you know, add some drama. So I chose Bittersweet Mint.

Bittersweet Mint is a favorite of customers young and old. I mean where can you go wrong? Green, mint flavored ice cream with chocolate chips sounds pretty perfect to me. I am rather partial to the flavor myself.

But as delicious as this flavor is, it can really put me into a bad mood. First of all, whenever someone orders it the next five people in line will order it too, leaving me stranded with a scoop in my hand scooping cone after cone. And if scooping the same flavor over and over isn't bad enough, it is practically unscoopable.

I give it a Scoopability rating of: 4

So while you're enjoying the sweetness of your delicious green ice cream, I am being bitter about the pain in my wrist caused by the repetitive motion and the too hard ice cream.
