"Welcome to Baskin Robbins. May I take your order, pika?"
I know alot of people have been blogging about the special new flavor of ice cream at Baskin Robbins. I've been on a diet for the past few months (with decent results!), so I finally decided today was the day to get some ice cream. And what better to break my ice cream fast than with the new Pikachu Thunderbolt Fruit Mix flavor! Plus, you get cute cup and spoon thrown in to sweeten the deal, as it were.
To get the cup, you have to order a double scoop. In addition to the Pikachu flavor, I decided on Banana and Strawberry. Unfortunately, they put that one on top, so it was hard to get a photo of just the Pikachu ice cream.
Other people's blogs/news sites will have much better photos! But it's yellow with little red chunks of candy to represent Pikachu's red cheeks. In the official photos, there were also little chocolate Pikachu faces...where's mine??
One. I got ONE little chocolate Pikachu. And at the very bottom of the cup, no less. I actually thought a little about complaining...LOL
So, how does Pikachu ice cream taste? Well....the ice cream part was really good. I was worried it might be a bit tangy or something, but it was a nice smooth fruity flavor. I didn't like the red candy bits though. Mixed into ice cream, they were sticky like hard candy that's been sitting around during the summer. Maybe if they changed the hard candy to fruit bits instead? Though, to keep with the red cheeks theme, it'd have to be cherry and I hate cherry so...
