All photos stolen from Bring A Trailer listings … click to enlarge … which is the most beautiful and the ugliest? I think the F355 is still my favorite….

Jeni's Butterscotch Popcorn Review

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Final installment in my series of Jeni’s ice cream reviews: Butterscotch Popcorn.

I thought I had saved the best for last since I love popcorn, but I couldn’t taste any popcorn here. Maybe my taste buds have been blow out by the previous eight pints of Jeni’s. The butterscotch was good, I guess the idea was to replicate Cracker Jack or Crunch ‘n Munch, but it didn’t really work.

Cutesy side story

Maybe it was a problem of having high expectations? Anyway, once again it’s a good gimmick flavor to try once in a scoop shop. I wouldn’t buy it again for $12 (plus $15 shipping).

Jeni's Sunshine Review

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Next to last in the series of nine, we have Sunshine.

The ice cream is a solid gray, which is cute. No pastry chunks in here. Just citrus flavors. I loved the non-dairy Lemon Bar lemon … the mix of citrus flavors here is a little off as is the texture.

No cutesy side story

Once again it’s a good gimmick flavor, especially given the color … you could have one scoop and never need another scoop again in your life. No re-order here at $12 a pint plus $15 for shipping.

Jeni's Watermelon Taffy Review

Added on by C. Maoxian.

We’re getting to the last few in the box, Watermelon Taffy being the seventh flavor to review.

I haven’t eaten a piece of taffy in decades, but this flavor instantly brought it all back and I have no idea how Jeni did this. I looked at the ingredients and saw “natural flavor” on there, which makes me think it must be some kind of oil? The food industry somehow lobbied the FDA or whoever to make it easier to put artificial flavors in things while labeling them “natural flavor.” Anyway, this taffy flavor is perfect, too perfect. That doesn’t mean I like it.

Cutesy side story

Watermelon Taffy is sort of sickeningly sweet, but it has its charms and is a great gimmick flavor. One scoop eaten one time should be enough for one lifetime.

Jeni's Lemon Bar Review

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Sixth in the series of Jeni’s ice cream reviews: Lemon Bar (non-dairy)

I think all of Jeni’s non-dairy products are made with coconut cream … combining it with lemon and shortbread crust is a winning combo .. this is really good, and the lemon is exactly that lemon bar flavor and texture sort of lemon. Wow, way to go, Jeni.

Cutesy side story

I would get this one again for sure. $12 plus $15 shipping. We have a winner, even though it’s dairy-free (maybe because it’s dairy-free.)

Jeni's Golden Nectar Review

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Fifth in the series of Jeni’s ice cream reviews: Golden Nectar.

It does indeed taste like nectar, or how one imagines nectar tastes, but the question is do you want to be eating this flavor? (Is the secret ingredient ylang ylang oil?) The little bits of caramel crunch are too small to register, so it’s all this amazing, overwhelming flowery thing going on … this flavor should be a big hit with women! This is not a tough, smelly guy flavor.

Cutesy side story

I wouldn’t get this one again, but I’m going to run it past both my wife and daughter to confirm that this will be a hit flavor with women. UPDATE: Neither my wife nor daughter were thrilled, but my son liked it, and I had another revelation when eating it again: it tastes like frozen egg nog!

Jeni's Buttercream Birthday Cake Review

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Fourth in this series of reviews of nine different Jeni’s ice cream flavors, it’s time for Buttercream Birthday Cake.

Do you know those awful store-bought birthday cakes that have the inch-thick frosting all around? Well Jeni has recreated the taste of those PERFECTLY here. My only gripe is there are so many sprinkles that they sort of overwhelm everything, including the tiny chunks of cake.

Crazy sweet and totally over the top, this is a great gimmick flavor — you’ll only need to eat one scoop one time. I’d never eat it again, but I’m glad I ate it once!

Movies Watched -- The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (1972)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In German. 124 minute running time so at least 30 minutes too long … I did indeed shed bitter tears for renting this one and wasting an hour of my life on it (2x ffwd) … lesbian love has never looked so dull … Fassbinder apparently had the hots for some young boy who spurned him and this was his way of working that out … this could be the ultimate fag movie, do NOT miss it if you happen to be homosexual. Normies will find it just sort of ridiculous and can give it a miss.

Do you know what you are? A whore, Mother! A miserable little whore! [sounds even better in German]
