Really it should be thick enough that I can eat it with a spoon, I'm down.

I think we all agree Halo Top is a good low calorie alternative for ice cream. Fuck I'll buy a 1.5 quart of Double Chocolate Fudge Brownie Dreyers ice cream getting more value and satisfaction compared to a pint of Halo Top. I know I'll feel terrible once I finish that carton.

I'd say it really depends on the flavors and what deals you can swing. Some Halo top flavors are just terrible while some taste like real icecream and imo does comparable to the low tier ice creams like Dreyers. Some places you might see it cost $7 while I know someone who keeps finding it on sale for $2. It's basically led me to be a ice cream snob. If I'm going to eat something I'll feel terrible about eating B&J's is about the cheapest I'll go but often get localish creamery stuff. Though I have been loving those Magnum bars. Most the flavors are good but nothing to write home about (some are even slight let downs). But the Infinity chocolate is amazeballs. "Dark chocolate ice cream with a chocolate swirl, dipped in dark chocolate and cocoa bean nibs. Made with Belgian dark chocolate"

Speaking of low cal ice creams don't try Artic Zero it's absolutely terrible. But Enlightened is pretty good so far and it has a more ice cream like consistency than halo top

I will make the sacrifice of eating it before it has set and thickened.

A good meat sauce should honestly almost be like a thick chili, so sure.

Also waiting for an incoming "meat sauce so thick I cook it on the grill" comment. Do not disappoint me BG.

I like to put ketchup on pasta

I like to put ketchup on pasta

My grandpa did that and it drove my grandma crazy. She'd spend all day making a delicious sauce and my grandpa would put ketchup on his pasta. He was American, Irish and German heritage, she was 1st generation Italian-American.

Wife and I are starting to get into the fall/Halloween/creepy mood. Watched Rosemary's Baby tonight and then this article about hacked emergency broadcasts in Cali came up on my Google news feed app and it was a great continuation of the creepy factor.

Yesterday we had some auto in (time between calls) and my voice was getting tired so i asked my sup for some time off the phones but still working. He gave me some Floor Assist time, so the last 20 mins of my shift were spent roaming around the call center checking on reps on long calls.

Today they were short handed for assists so i got more than 3 hours. I took 2 escalated calls, handked em easy peasy and got compliments from reps and other assisters.

Hell fucking yeah team, bane on track for promotion to a better job.

What would you said it is you DO here?

Finally found all the new Halo Top flavors I wanted to try. After a quick taste test this is what I came up with in order of preference:

1. Cinnamon roll is the fucking tits. Go buy it now unless you hate Cinnabon or cinnamon rolls, in which case I don't know you.

2. Chocolate covered banana was a huge surprise and really good. Great banana flavor and creamy and on the lower calorie end. I'd recommend it if you love banana ice cream like me.

3. Tie - Pancakes and waffles was much sweeter than anticipated but definitely tastes like the name. It's good but I couldn't do this one often.

Pumpkin pie (Seasonal) -I love pumpkin pie but I'm not into pumpkin everything but this was actually really good. There are bits of crust to give that extra flavor and I felt like the balance was good. The texture was also good for Halo top.
If you like pumpkin pie I think it's worth a try.

4. Candy bar was a bit of a letdown for me. I heard it's like a snickers which I get the texture could be with the nuts and swirls but the flavor just seemed jumbled. For the record snickers are one of my favorite candy bars for what it's worth.
Likely won't buy again.

Overall favorite flavors I would now rank :

1. Red velvet/cookie dough/cinnamon roll
2. Chocolate covered banana/ Sea Salt Caramel
3.Strawberry/Vanilla Bean/Pancakes and waffles

[Zetanio]

all of them are good except for the rainbow swirl and the mochi green tea imo.

There was so much rainbow swirl it was kind of sad , I think it's unanimous that stuff is terrible.
I still need to try the caramel macchiato but that type of flavor is a mood thing for me so I'll get around to it I'm sure.

[dasva]

Safeway only place near me that's carrying it and stupid shoppers keep moving everything around hoping to find new flavors and then put old ones in the spot of new ones tricking people like me. Caramel Macchiato was amazing. Top 3 maybe 4th probably now. Pancake and waffles was good but seriously don't get how people are going it's da best. I refuse to try the swirl... and of course it's the only new flavor fully stocked lol

[tyven]

my locals aint got the new crack what the fuck

Cinnamon roll was definitely superior and my top new flavor to pancake and waffles and P&W was almost too sweet but they nailed the flavor I admit. Swirl had like two full rows at my Safeway it was so sad lol.

my locals aint got the new crack what the fuck

I just happened to stop at Safeway last night for some stuff for the week and found it on a feature freezer endcap , not with all the regular halo top/ice cream. But lots of people across the country I know and state had it earlier which was annoying so just keep checking.

Interview went well I think. Here's hoping the F2F invite gets sent soon.

About a month ago I got an email from Disney asking if I would listen to a short presentation for their timeshare program , Disney Vacation Club over the phone and would get a $40 gift card for it. I did the call and it was painless , no pressure no followup and received my gift card as promised.

Today I receive ANOTHER $40 Disney gift card from them! Apparently the Disney forum I'm on someone else just posted the other day they had the same thing happen. No clue what happened but thanks !
