Ben & Jerry's Cotton Candy Ice Cream Misses The Point Of Being Cotton Candy Ice Cream

This Ben & Jerry's cotton candy ice cream is like cotton candy ice cream for people who feel ashamed about eating cotton candy ice cream. It's all muted and understated, and a nice reserved white color, and like, I'm already eating cotton candy ice cream, you may as well make it loud and colorful. This isn't ice cream for a serious occasion. This is not ice cream that is served at a funeral or at the selection of a new pope. This is not ice cream that will be presented to some fancy debutante on the occasion of her coming-out party. It's cotton. Candy. Ice cream. For fuck's sake. There's a time for restraint and moderation, and there's a time for cotton candy ice cream. To every season, turn, turn, turn. Leave it to the tree-hugging hippies at Ben & Jerrys to miss the point. Probably want me to wear a bike helmet while I eat it too.

All that said, though, it's pretty good and I can't stop eating it. No restraint or moderation here.
