Butterscotch Ice Cream is a new Baskin-Robbins pint flavor that\u2019s a product tie-in with Netflix\u2019s <em>Stranger Things<\/em>. It\u2019s supposedly a flavor that\u2019s available at the fictional Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor in the show.<\/p>\n<p>My use of \u201csupposedly\u201d in the opening paragraph probably gave you a hint that I haven\u2019t watched an episode of <em>Stranger Things<\/em>. I also haven\u2019t seen <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, <em>Breaking Bad<\/em>, <em>The Sopranos<\/em>, <em>Killing Eve<\/em>, <em>The Walking Dead<\/em>, and many other critically acclaimed TV shows that friends say I should watch, but don&#8217;t, which lets me scan Twitter freely without caring about spoilers. But, I\u2019m strapped to this chair to process Spotted photos and write reviews. That\u2019s my life. Someone, please send help.<\/p>\n<p>U.S.S. Butterscotch features butterscotch-flavored ice cream with butterscotch pieces and a toffee-flavored ribbon. It\u2019s also Baskin-Robbins\u2019 Flavor of the Month of July 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The base has a mild butterscotch flavor that starts the potency at a two. Add the ribbon, and the Werther\u2019s Original-like flavor gets kicked up to a five. When I include the butterscotch pieces with the other two components, the degree of sweet and buttery flavor gets turned up to a nine.<\/p>\n<p>Why not a ten? Well, I figure if it\u2019s at its max, then there might be too much butterscotch. But, at no point, while eating a quarter of the pint did I feel it was overkill.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Baskin-Robbins-Scoops-Ahoy-U.S.S.-Butterscotch-Ice-Cream-Closeup.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Baskin Robbins Scoops Ahoy U S S Butterscotch Ice Cream Closeup\" title=\"Baskin-Robbins Scoops Ahoy U.S.S.

It scoops more like Dreyer\u2019s\/Edy\u2019s Slow Churned. The super crunchy butterscotch pieces completely contrast the base\u2019s texture. However, the toffee-flavored ribbon, which I expected to be gooey, wasn\u2019t what I\u2019d consider gooey. It was just there. But the thing about the mix-ins is that there\u2019s not a lot of them throughout the pint. My spoon faced too many empty seas of off-white butterscotch ice cream.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Baskin-Robbins-Scoops-Ahoy-U.S.S.-Butterscotch-Ice-Cream-Other-Stranger-Things-Flavors.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Baskin Robbins Scoops Ahoy U S S Butterscotch Ice Cream Other Stranger Things Flavors\" title=\"Baskin-Robbins Scoops Ahoy U.S.S.
