If you think you have seen me at the grocery store, it probably was not me.
Three things need to be going on simultaneously in order for it to be a true Jenni sighting (which sounds insanely obnoxious, but is meant to be funny):
1. My arms must be so laden with food that random strangers will cluck their tongues as I go by and remark, “you should have grabbed a basket.”
Well, of course I should have grabbed a basket. What was the first clue? The jar of maraschino cherries I am clenching between my thighs or the package of ice cream cones I am balancing on top of my head? I would have said as much if my loaf of bread was not being held between my teeth. But you never know what food inspiration you will find at the market. It is awful best to be unprepared.
2. I will be saying in a high pitched voice, “He. He. He. He. He.” It is true. I do not know where it comes from. But I actually say this phrase. Over and over again. Like a villain from A My Little Pony movie who just wants all of the food. All of it. In her freezer.
3. My eyes will be wild and crazy, because I will just have discovered something amazing. I don’t get out much and when I do, the world always invents something new and exciting.
Redbox machines?!
Candy corn gummies?!
Frozen pretzel bites?!
And just last week, Baskin Robbins in the freezer?!
That is what I want to discuss today. Did you know that Baskin Robbins Ice Cream is now available in the freezer section at the grocery store?
Well, it is.
So, of course, I had to buy all of it. What if it gets discontinued? What if there is a power outage and I have to eat all of the ice cream? What if “True Blood” has a worse series finale than “Mad About You”?
Okay, I did not buy all of the ice cream, but I bought a lot of it. Especially of my childhood favorite and my family’s favorite flavor, Gold Medal Ribbon (some information: My ice cream was on sale for around $3 a container. Regular price is more. I have tasted three flavors and all three flavors tasted the same as the ice cream in the brick and mortar Baskin Robbins I have visited). Gold Medal Ribbon is vanilla and chocolate ice cream joined together with a creamy caramel swirl. Just writing that sentence makes me want to run (let’s not get crazy here) get up and check on my frozen hoard.
He. He. He. He. He.
Do you have a favorite Baskin Robbins flavor? Did you know that the treat is now available at the grocery store? Do you ever walk into the grocery store for one item and walk out of the store with twenty?
It’s The Little Things: a childhood treat within easier reach.
Thanks for my morning chuckle. He, he, he, he, he.
Thanks for saying that Brynne. I am glad it made you smile. : ).
Have a happy week!
Jenni
so funny! I can just see it! soooo, I’ve been making a list today and BR is now on the list. I had no idea!
Thank you Melodee! I hope you got some! I need to buy some more mint chocolate chip ice cream. We are out!
Have a beautiful week!
Jenni
Ohhhhh nooooo. You should have kept this a secret. $3?!! he he he he! My favorites are Mint Chocolate Chip and Jamocha Almond Fudge. Looks like we are going to fight over the Mint Chip. I will give you a head start and tell you that I am leaving for the grocery store in 5 minutes. Or maybe I’m already here. he he he he
xoxoxox
Ha! You probably all ready beat me! I am out of mint chip. I need more! It is one of my favorites, too. I have been having a spoonful a night. That doesn’t count as any calories, right?
Have a wonderful week!
Jenni
Ha ha ha! I feel like all of a sudden my childhood favorites are reappearing the grocery store. The other day I saw a box of Frankenberry cereal and nearly fainted from joy.
Thank you Tekesha! Frankenberry cereal! I will have to keep my eyes peeled. I am so focused in the cereal aisle. I always grab my sale brand and leave, I will have to check. Thanks for the heads up!
Have a lovely week!
Jenni
Oh how I adore Daiqueri Ice & Chocolate Fudge. Together in the same bowl!!! Ohhhh!!
I have never tried that! I will have to do that now! Thanks for the idea!
Have a fun Friday!
Jenni
OMG. I totally do that. But now I’m good about getting a cart all the time. I know I will find something too good to leave behind.
My parents owned a Baskin Robbins store which I worked in. Mostly I decorated cakes back when it was still an art form. Now it is all computer generated photos and crap. I did it old school with royal icing making water slides and ponies with wings.
You can’t possibly talk about Baskin Robbins ice cream without mentioning what I think was called chocolate fudge royal. That stuff was better than sex.

I love that you made the cakes! That is so cool! Do you remember that flavor with chocolate raspberry truffles? Oh, that was my favorite but they no longer make it. : (. I am now craving the mint chocolate chip.
Sweet dreams!
