<\/center><\/p>\nAbout 14 years ago, the local movie theatre near my childhood home added something new and unusual to their regular food lineup of lukewarm hotdogs, jumbo-sized sodas and the extra-large popcorn that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty sure was enough to feed an entire farm; from the little chicks to the overweight farmer and his wife. <\/p>\n
Dippin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Dots was the “space-aged” item that all kids (myself included) begged their parents to get before they went into the theatre to see Disney\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s highly inaccurate version of Pocahontas, or some other G-rated movie that didn’t contain all of the shit I would learn to love later on in life, including using the word “shit.”<\/p>\n
Dippin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Dots were hard to find, very expensive, and so cold they would freeze your tongue, thus not being able to taste the flavor after the first spoonful. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s now 2009, and Dippin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Dots clones can be found everywhere, from vending machines in outlet malls to freezer cases at mini-marts. After seeing the Kemps IttiBitz in the freezer section, I figured it would be good to maybe go back to my childhood and experience something I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t had in over a decade.<\/p>\n
Right off the bat, Kemps IttiBitz gets one point over Dippin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Dots in the name category. IttiBitz sounds like the nickname given to the president of your local chapter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Itty Bitty Titty Committee. I applaud Kemps for honoring those who lack in the boobage department. I would say, “Stay strong my sisters!”, but I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been in the IBTC since middle school.<\/p>\n
The IttiBitz were very mint chocolate chip-y, but the missing ingredient were the actual chips; I guess the little brown pellets were to make up for that, but for me it really didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. When the bitz melted in my mouth, they revealed a very creamy, full-bodied taste of mint chocolate. Surprisingly, the ice cream has some substance to it; it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not watered down at all. <\/p>\n
Besides having to physically bang the entire cup to separate the frozen beads that clump together, the only other downfall with Kemps IttiBitz was the same problem I had with its predecessor fourteen years ago — frozen tongue syndrome.<\/p>\n
