Mr. Softee: The Ice Cream Man

Mr. Softee has everything. I go for the chocolate dipped cone.

I like strawberry milk shake. Or maple walnut "something".

LOL Maple walnut! love that one too. Haagan Daz makes a good maple walnut - sugar cone.

That Haagan Daz is decadent Bathgate, but I need a raise to be able to buy it on regular bases.

I would also need a gym membership :)

You need to live on an acreage. No gym membership needed :-)

99 flake with sprinkle of nuts and raspberry sauce squeezed all over .....

ta very much

Gg

Similar to Gg..'proper' Vanilla not the flavoured,in a cone,with nuts and a flake..you can hold the raspberry sauce..oh,go on then,if you are twisting my arm..No gym membership needed,as exercise is compulsory with a 10 month old Grandson,,and a six year old one..:o)

LOL, I hear ya! I need to remember "Stawberry Cheesecake" that sounds like a must try.

Gg - I'm not sure what "99 flake" is. Can you clue me in please? I get the nuts and raspberry sauce.

Just in case Gg doesn't see this Paul,it's a crumbly bar of chocolate,shaped like a log,and stuck in the Icecream of a Cone..which is known as a 99..I don't know the origin of this...It's also nice sprinkled on top of the Chocolate Icing ,of a home made Cake,as they are sold in shops in packs of three,by a well known Chocolate maker here...not many can eat one without getting bits of it on your face,and clothing,,so not for refined dining :o).

Hi

from what I gather

apparently it is so called because the majority of ice cream merchants in the fifties were Italian. The King of Italy had an elite bodyguard consisting of 99 men. So anything elite was called 99s by Italians. So they called the elite ice cream a 99.

Hi Gg..thanks for that,I had no idea.it's an interesting and logical explanation.another of life's mysteries solved by a Goy member :o)

thanks Bloomer ....

Who needs Mastermind ? Lol

I could do with a cold ice cream as i have just been stung on the back of my neck !!!! I woudnt be eating it though ... well not straight away just have to make do with my bag of peas out the freezer lol I dont know why I said lol as it hurts !!

Gg

LOL that sounds like the making of a great Broadway Hit - 99 flakes! thanks for explaining.

I can see the cones and the flakes making a great dance routine lol

LOL and let's not forget the color sprinkles raining down. That could be the Grand Finale!

your as crazy as me lol yes with the Mr Softee music playing lol

the one I remember here in the UK was Mr Whippy !!!

Can I join the queue please? Mine's a 99 like Bloomers' but no sauce only sprinkles please and as we had the grand kiddies last week, no need of the gym just yet lol!

That's right Gg...I remember Mr Whippy!!

LOL the kids will keep you slim & trim - and your wallet too.

Mr. Softee makes something called a "Shaggy Dog." It is a double cone with chocolate dipped ears, cherry nose & loads of chocolate sprinkles for the whiskers. yum!

That sounds wonderful, Freya would love it!!

I bet she would. :)
