@SarahHeartburn: OMG me too. I just discovered that they sell it in quarts at the Shoprite near my mom's place. One more reason not to go home. And one more reason to weigh considerably more after a weekend spent there.

We're all going to die away...and if the last taste you have in your mouth is *shudder* Tofutti, you lived wrong.

@El Bombastico: Yeah, you're right -- but I thought it was Baskin's kid. But he was making exactly the opposite point of this post: Ice cream is horrible stuff that'll kill you.

actually, Irv Robbins changed his diet late in life because of health problems. His son, John Robbins, is a vegan and was helping his dad to be more health conscious. Burt Baskin, Irv's brother in law and the other half of Baskin & Robbins died at age 51 of a heart attack.

@jenalicious: OMG that is so true. I demanded (and received) from my boyfriend a Pralines and Cream ice cream cake one year for my birthday. A few months later at Christmas he gave me a pair of running shoes. By the following July we had broken up. Don't let it happen to you.

I'm opening a fast food chain. Both the type of food and the name are undecided. Please contact me if you are interested in owning a franchise.

@Tammany_Fall: You're confused. It was Mr. Donut who founded the chain (Donutelli, pre-Ellis Island), and he invented both the tasty treat and the dunkin' of it.

Wasn't his kid in "Super Size Me" bitchin' about America's fatties? And his whole family died of heart attacks? Or was that some other bloodsucking junk-food merchant?

I knew a pompous ass that had "Livnwll" as his license plate. I shudder everytime I heard the phrase.

No, I think fa(s)t food moguls are like dealers. They endure. Their customers bite the dust young. I personally have one cardiac artery that from early childhood was dedicated to Pralines N' Cream.
