What Happened to a Simple Ice Cream Sandwich?


THat's all I want. I don't want any fancy square ones. I don't want the round Oreo ones (although those are my favorite but they, to me, aren't *real* ice cream sandwiches, it's an oreo sandwich). I just want the simple, vanilla ice cream fitted nicely between two rectangular artificially flavored chocolate wafers.

But no. Not at the grocery store I went to. I felt like I was staring into the glass cases forever. Hoping I just missed the box. They used to come in just a plain box. Nothing fancy. No fancy brand. Just generic vanilla ice cream sandwiches.

But no.

They have:

Klondikes, several different flavors I might add

Pinwheel looking sandwiches, several different flavors too

Weight Watchers, um I don'twant to watch my weight when I'm eating one

Healthy Choice *see weight watchers above*

Some brand claiming SKinny ice cream sandwiches *see both above*

Fatboys. I don't want a double ice cream sandwich. I just want a single.

They even have ice cream sandwiches for pets in with the people food. Good thing I didn't grab one of those.

And to boot all of those are freaking expensive. $4.99 for a box of 4 or 6 depending.

I guess I'll have to go to Kroger *groan*. But all I was is a simple damn box of ice cream sandwiches!

I ended up getting Klondikes to tide me over.

If you want me to be your sex slave, get me some strawberry shortcake ice cream. I'll be your slave for life.

I don't think I've had a REAL ice cream sandwich in years. It's the fancy ice cream movement, embraced by Ben & Jerry's and their ilk.

Vanilla.

Klondikes are a poor substitute, as I'm sure you know. I don't want to hear cracking when I'm eating ice cream.
And the Weight Watchers & Healthy Choice stuff are among the most useless products ever invented. When I want ice cream, I don't think veggie flavor.

They're expensive because they make you think it's exotic.

Vanilla.
