Grin

That is exactly what I would expect from my DC.

Horrendous. Who likes strawberry ice-cream?

Hellocatshome · 08/07/2021 17:36

You have to have equal amounts of each flavour in each serving otherwise its just anarchy!

They still make Neapolitan???? Where? I really want some now

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 08/07/2021 17:38

But vanilla is boring!

(One of mine likes strawberry and vanilla, one likes chocolate and vanilla. I even things out by having strawberry and chocolate)

(Unless its an ice cream float. Then you need all three)

Hellocatshome · 08/07/2021 17:41

@Motogogo this was from Tesco, but seems I should have just bought strawberry and chocolate and not bothered.

Not only are you allowed to disown them over that. I would actively encourage you to 🤣🤣

TheSockMonster · 08/07/2021 17:42

Weirdos.

My DB and I would fight over the chocolate, then the vanilla and leave the strawberry for DF (who had lower standards)

Couldhavebeenme2 · 08/07/2021 17:42

Mine bought me this today to show me how much he loves me. Free to a good home? (him or the vegan choc)

Yes, disown the monsters. That's criminal.
Vanilla is barely worth taking the lid off for Grin

OldTinHat · 08/07/2021 17:49

So that's where my sons have moved to?! 🤭

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 08/07/2021 17:52

Disown them. Especially the one who likes Strawberry ice cream, that it a very concerning trait Grin

@Couldhavebeenme2 DH would buy me that just to see the look on my face when he gave me the ‘treat’ Grin and then bring out the posh pork scratchings and gin from behind his back

RubixRubicon · 08/07/2021 17:58

Wouldn’t bother me, I love vanilla ice cream. I hate choc and straw 😂

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 08/07/2021 18:17

Didn’t the Simpsons do this when Homer said “Marge,we’re out of ice cream”and there were cartons with no chocolate left?
Anyway that was me as a kid.

It could be worse. I have an 8 year old that will actively choose plain vanilla ice cream. I don't know where I went wrong. I mean when I ate it I was firmly a double fudge triple caramel floozy ice cream officianado. No flake...no interest. I can only assume I have failed terribly.

Actually I live in a house with a DP who actively dislikes cake. I mean ...who in actual hell dislikes cake ! So frankly it's anarchy in the house already.

ragged · 08/07/2021 19:56

I also loathe vanilla, so make sense to me

HoldingTheDoor · 08/07/2021 19:58

YANBU. I would. Vanilla is the best flavour and chocolate ice cream is revolting.

JaninaDuszejko · 08/07/2021 20:00

Ha! Sensible children. Next time you'll only buy the interesting flavours.

LTB.

I bought my kinds fancy Ben and Jerry's ice cream any only want bloody Mr Feeeze tip tops. Don't know they're bloody born. Oh well mum will just have to snaffle the half baked.

Hadenoughofthisbullshit · 08/07/2021 20:04

It’s a classic OhWhat

frugalkitty · 08/07/2021 20:32

I'm with the kids on this, I only eat the strawberry from Neapolitan ice cream Grin

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 08/07/2021 20:37

Nah, it's useful - I only ever want vanilla ice cream for affogato, anyway

KupoNutCoffee · 09/07/2021 00:42

There's something special about neopolitan that's makes different to just chocolate or strawberry. It might come from the 'you can have one OR the other....fine I'll have neopolitan and have 3!'

The vanilla was always begrudgingly taken, certainly the scoop started deep in strawberry, had a somewhat loose scrape through the vanilla before diving down into the chocolate. Until you realised, there was only a teaspoon of chocolate left but 2 scoops worth of vanilla...and no you couldn't open a fresh one till it was ALL gone.

lobsterkiller · 09/07/2021 08:11

Am i bad? I love them all.

DinosaurDiana · 09/07/2021 08:12

Don’t buy any more until they eat the vanilla !
