\"Edy's<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’ve ever wondered how dedicated I am to this gig — if I’m just in it for the obscene salary, free back rubs, and ungodly number of loose women — then wonder no more.\u00c2\u00a0 A guy who’s just phoning it in, when reviewing a triple-flavored tub of ice cream, will simply dig in a spoon at random and start going to town.\u00c2\u00a0 A true professional will make certain he’s taking bites from each individual segment to ensure he’s getting an accurate flavor reading, pausing between each to “cleanse the palate” with some water.\u00c2\u00a0 He will do this no matter how hoity-toity it may make him feel at the time or how many beers he must drink afterward to not feel like a snobbish food critic.\u00c2\u00a0 Hypothetically.<\/p>\n

But let’s face it: the world is changing.\u00c2\u00a0 Things that delighted and enthralled older generations just can’t cut it with today’s consumers, and unless you spent last Saturday in the parlor smoking and listening to the phonograph, I’m sure you agree.\u00c2\u00a0 By that token, Neapolitan ice cream was something to lose your shit over in the 1800s and quaintly pleasant in the late 20th century, but it’s just not cutting it in a new millennium.\u00c2\u00a0 Recognizing this trend, Edy’s has acted to rectify it by introducing a new tri-flavor: Triple Cookie Fudge Sundae.\u00c2\u00a0 Or possibly they just read my mind and realized I don’t like strawberry.\u00c2\u00a0 Either way: woohoo!\u00c2\u00a0 Note that this is part of Edy’s “Slow Churned” slightly healthier line of ice cream.\u00c2\u00a0 There apparently is another version in the “Fun Flavors” line, but I haven’t seen it.<\/p>\n

As you can tell from the picture and probably could have guessed otherwise, a circular container is not conducive to perfectly equal proportions between the flavors.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s bad news if you’re a chocolate fiend, since it’s confined to a thin band sandwiched between the two vanilla-based varieties.\u00c2\u00a0 On the plus side, the circular nature of the tub favors those who like to mix their flavors, allowing one to easily scoop a swath through all three.\u00c2\u00a0 (Ice cream segregationists are out of luck… take your intolerance elsewhere, this is a progressive blog.)\u00c2\u00a0 Again, I tried to sample each flavor individually for reviewing purposes, but if you’re just eating a bowl absentmindedly while watching TV, you’re going to have definite flavor mixing; whether that’s a plus or a minus obviously comes down to personal preference.<\/p>\n

\"Edy's<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The first flavor listed is vanilla chocolate chip & cookie dough, which seems overly verbose: I think the vanilla part is implied, and do you really need that ampersand in there?\u00c2\u00a0 Regardless, it’s pretty good ice cream, fairly creamy with a nice aftertaste.\u00c2\u00a0 (In fact, the carton itself boasts of its “now creamier taste,” though since this is a new flavor, I assume they’re talking about the slow-churned line in general.)\u00c2\u00a0 If I have a complaint, it’s that it doesn’t overload you with cookie dough chunks\u00c2\u00a0 — they’re there, but not exploding out of every spoonful.<\/p>\n

The middle variety is chocolate with fudge swirl, ironically perhaps the most boring flavor.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s not easy to pull off when you’re sandwiched between two varieties of vanilla, which should tell you something.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s perfectly fine chocolate ice cream, but the fudge swirl is tasty but inconsistent, and I usually like something with contrasting texture mixed into my ice cream, though your mileage may vary.\u00c2\u00a0 For that reason, I wasn’t disappointed that this flavor accounts for the lowest total percentage of the tub.<\/p>\n

For some reason the vanilla & brownies tastes a little creamier than the vanilla cookie dough, which is probably my imagination since I’m sure they were made from the same vanilla base.\u00c2\u00a0 The brownie chunks are surprisingly gooey and taste slightly like dark chocolate.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t have any complaints about them except that there aren’t enough in there, even in comparison to the chocolate chip cookie dough, which as you’ll recall wasn’t exactly overwhelming me with its density either.<\/p>\n

Taken as a whole, Edy’s Triple Cookie Fudge Sundae isn’t an unqualified success, but it’s certainly far from a failure.\u00c2\u00a0 I enjoyed myself while eating it, and I definitely wouldn’t be averse to having some again.\u00c2\u00a0 And since it’s slow churned, there’s a lot less fat and calories than regular ice cream, which is great.\u00c2\u00a0 But at the same time, it lacks that real “pop” that makes the memory of it stick with you long after the container is finished.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe it was the stinginess of the mix-ins, or perhaps it was a bad idea to have two vanilla-based flavors… swapping one out with butter pecan, say, or making two of them chocolate-based could’ve been a way to go.\u00c2\u00a0 Still, if you decide to pick up a carton, I think you will like it.\u00c2\u00a0 You just might want to adjust your expectations going in for a good, not a great flavor.<\/p>\n
