There was a time when I though my girlfriend was too cold (which actually turned out to be true), which is the reason that she ultimately became my ex...

To some extent, obviously, @ThanosReXXX ... I'll pay more for things that are worth it, though! We definitely have the artificial flavour ices like those, which I liked a long time ago but I'm not sure about better versions. I'll have to check the frozen section next time, I'm sure there's plenty around by now
@BruceCM Some of the natural/biological ice cream goes out of style rapidly, though, so that's also something that they have to overcome, when fighting the bigger, less healthy brands. I remember a time not all that long ago when frozen yogurt products were all the rage, but nowadays, I can't even find a single product in any super market that I know. Not that I would want to, but just as an example of how these things seem to come and go.
Apparently, people prefer their toxic foods over stuff that's more expensive, I guess...
@WoomyNNYes I am not far from Tempe, or so I am told at least. Gonna be a while while I learn my way around. Very few landmarks and the roads are named by a madman.
We have, in one area, Ellsworth road, Ellsworth drive AND Ellsworth loop. Because Murica, I guess. Lol

@Heavyarms55 So, I see you're settling in quite nicely. If you've already found the time to get annoyed about things that are actually perfectly normal, then I think I can rest assured that you'll be alright over there.
But seriously, depending on how small a town it is, it certainly doesn't sound strange to me, much less like a madman's scheme: in my direct neighborhood, I have several similar examples of streets, squares, canals, alleyways and so on, all sharing the same name, so it sounds pretty normal to me.
@Blooper987 Huh. You’d think it’d be something big. The first Nontendo Direct (P.S. The video and channel has been pulled from YouTube.) announcement was Super Mario Galaxy Collection.
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
@Heavyarms55 Oh yeah.... no more 10 Mile, or 5 Mile Road type names
@ThanosReXXX Superman ice cream colors look wild, but it doesnt taste wild. It tastes like vanilla and two mild, but good fruit flavors. Not tangly like an orange cream sicle. More like rivaling vanilla flavors? And since "superman" is trademarked, most ice cream companies can't use the name, so they get creative, like "Scooperman"
@WoomyNNYes Oh, don't get me wrong: I was never debating it actually tasting good, lots of artificial stuff actually does, but that doesn't take anything away from it not really being conducive or beneficial to one's health, which was actually my point. And whenever or wherever I can get natural products, I will. Nowadays, there's very little reason for there not to be a more healthy alternative. And freshly made ice cream with natural ingredients often tastes just as good, if not better, so I'll gladly pay a bit more for it.
On a side note: that trademark/naming problem seems to have been solved for at least two companies, then. Seeing as I've posted two examples and both call it Superman ice cream, so apparently, they're allowed to do so.

I seem to have barged in on a frozen treat discussion. I'm not a shaved or flavored ice fan; most of the stuff is literally just sugar, flavorings, and artificial colors, plus I just don't find eating ice that appealing, even on warm days. Slushies are tolerable as the ice is REALLY fine in a lot of those, but I also avoid them on principle these days.
Ice cream and some treats that incorporate it, on the other hand....
Yep, there's "When it rains, it pours", as well as one around here where deaths supposedly happen in threes. This doesn't always prove true, so fingers crossed that isn't the case this time. Life is like a never-ending roller coaster. The ups are great, but the downs...eh.
...So in the case of your dad, is the kitchen blocked off after midnight? And bathing/showering must be interesting....
