Corn Ice cream

More articles by »
Written by: Daniel

You heard me. It's CORN ICE CREAM. The shell which tastes like a cheap ice cream cone is in the shape of an ear of corn and inside there is corn flavored vanilla-ish ice covered in a chocolate shell. Embedded in the ice cream are bits of CORN.

CORN ICE CREAM!

So how did it taste? Sorta like soggy popcorn that fell on a pile of yellow snow.

Gross.
