    Anybody else remember the one day a year where they gave you 1oz of vanilla ice cream with a wooden stick to eat it with?

      We had the option of chocolate.

      It wasn't any better than the vanilla, you still tasted mostly wooden spoon, but it was nice to feel like we had some small amount of agency in our decisions.

      Philly version of treat party was the shitty popsicles and little hugs. Though I do remember those crappy ice creams at kids birthday parties.

        I never liked these. I would suck on them and all the juice would come out, leaving just flavorless ice.

        But the little melted juice at the end was bussin

          You had suck out the juice cause the ice wouldn't slide out of the plastic till it was room temperature.

        damn that is insane. i got to go to a pulp mill once and make cool colorful paper, but ice cream factory sounds like it would smell much better

          I honestly don't remember a strong smell, but I'm pretty sure it was just the smell of milk so only arguably better than a paper mill if you like milk I guess, which I didn't and still do not to this day - which was a real shame because it was an early morning field trip so they did not give us ice cream; they asked us what milk we wanted....disgost (they also produced milk there though so it wasn't like they were just scooping some milk off the ice cream production line before it was mixed in fwiw lmao)
