Bubble Yum (157)



This stuff is totally contrary to one of my biggest fears. You know, having my teeth crumble and fall out, or having gum get stuck to them and not being able to get it all off. The gum in this ice cream is some of the worst. Ever. It can send me into a full on panic attack trying to get it off. I really hate it if it gets stuck in my molars. Why then, do I eat it? I find the ice cream itself to be quite lovely. It has a nice, light bubble gum flavor. It reminds me of being a kid. It makes me think of a time when my Grandma Cutler took me to Harmons on 4100 South and bought a cone of it for me. They used to have an ice cream counter at the back of the store. No, I won't tell you how long ago that was. Let's just say a "while ago". Whenever I eat this, I have to chew the gum really fast and then swallow it, or swallow it almost immediately. No chewing. I can't chance having it get even slightly stuck to my teeth.

I hate bubble gum ice cream. I alwyas have. I had it one time as a kid and I almost threw up. I don't know why--I just hate the taste. I also hate the gum that is in it--Yuck!! I will stick to my Rocky Road.

My mouth dropped open when I saw this. I too loved bubble gum ice cream as a kid. Jillene's just a party pooper. ;)

This will be in my freezer tonight. However, this is not helping in my endeavor of having cavity free teeth.

I know--I know! I am a party pooper! My kids love it though but even when they eat it the smell makes me sick. Go figure--something sweet that I don't like.

Yep I know what you mean about this icecream. It tastes like heavin and destroys your mouth like hell. I love the bubblegum icecream at Letherbys but when I get to those gooey, sticky squares of gum I swallow them whole in hopes that my stomach can digest it. If not, when I die and they do an autopsy, they will find a giant ball of bubblegum and rule my death as suicide.
