Thursdays is food shopping day for me and I made a point of picking up a few items that have made an impression on us over the last few years.
The name of these ice cream treats brings a smile to our faces. For those of you who live outside of New England,
bum is the New England equivalent of the more common word
butt. The ice cream in the middle is just a generic vanilla-cherry ice cream, but the coating tastes like cherry children's Tylenol. The stick in the middle is a plastic wrapped rolled gum stick. Only Emilie likes these treats.
These treats are what many kids bring to school to share with their classmates on their birthday. They are large chocolate-covered marshmallows with a thin waffle cone bottom. I'll let you make up your own jokes about the brand name. But I will add that that name is a big improvement over the older common name for the marshmallow treat "Negro's Kiss." That name was finally changed in the 1980s to "Chocolate Kiss."
These tic-tac mints are herb-flavored. There's nothing that says fresh breath like a mint that tastes like grass. Seriously, they taste like minty grass.
