Jack Nicklaus Ice Cream Strawberry Lemonade

By -
Sometimes you buy ice cream because it is so WTF on so many levels.  Jack Nicklaus Ice Cream Strawberry Lemonade certainly fits into this category.  I have so many questions!

1) Why is Jack Nicklaus making ice cream?
2) Is he trying to be the next Paul Newman?
3) Why did Paul Newman decide to start making salad dressings?
4) Do people eat ice cream on a golf course? It seems like it wouldn't be the best golf snack.
5) Is lemonade ice cream any good?
6) Wait. I just read the description and this is sherbet and sorbet not ice cream, so why is it called ice cream?
7) OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Clearly I picked up a pint of this inexplicable ice cream.  Strawberry Lemonade is described as

Strawberry sherbet and lemon sorbet.


I also want to include the longer description from the website, because it just adds another level of WTF to the whole situation:

Jack Nicklaus developed this refreshing treat which was inspired by his wildly popular strawberry lemonade to develop this refreshing treat.  We make this delicious pint by swirling our strawberry sherbet with a smooth and creamy lemon sorbet.

 DO YOU EVEN GRAMMAR? Holy shit this is amazing.


So, how was this ice cream?  Well it cost $1.99, and tasted that way.  It wasn't bad and I didn't dislike it, but there wasn't anything outstanding about it.  The strawberry sherbet was very sweet with a light strawberry flavor.  It lacked the acidity of good strawberry ice creams and sherbets.


There wasn't as much lemonade sorbet, but it did add some punches of tanginess to the strawberry.  Again, it was very sweet.  Also, I felt like the strawberry sherbet and lemon sorbet were two very different elements swirled together rather than two halves of a cohesive whole.

I give this 🍦/4 cones. There are definitely better strawberry and lemon desserts out there for not much more money.

Comparison Post: Haagen-Dazs Vanilla vs Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean

Ok peeps, does anybody else think its a bit weird that Haagen-Dazs makes a Vanilla ice cream and a Vanilla Bean ice cream? Like, is that really necessary? Regardless, it is my duty as your guide to the ice cream world to try both flavors and report back. First, the description.  I'm taking the full paragraph from the website because it gives more info about the supposed differences between the two flavors. Vanilla: Vanilla is the essence of elegance and sophistication. This marriage of pure, sweet cream and Madagascar vanilla creates the sweet scent of exotic spice and a distinctive taste that lingers on the tongue. Vanilla Bean: A unique twist to our iconic flavor.  Our ice cream blends Madagascar vanilla and pure, sweet cream with flecks of real vanilla beans, for a spicy and sweet delight. Do we all agree that Haagen-Dazs' descriptions are bordering on florid here? Just wow.  So the descriptions have got me all hopped up and raring to eat some ice cream, b...

Nestle Drumstick, The Original Sundae Cone

Every once in a while you've just gotta have a classic. For me, and for many others, drumsticks are reminiscent of childhood summers and the ice cream truck coming by. I have memories of drumsticks being really, really tasty and exciting. But before I review them, lets have a little history lesson. And by history lesson, no I do not mean me talking about my childhood; I do not think I am yet old enough that I can call my childhood "history". (Although my students are often baffled that not only am I older than Facebook, I am also older than YouTube!!) What I do mean is a history lesson on waffle cones and drumsticks. As legend has it, at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, an ice cream maker ran out of bowls to serve ice cream in. Next to him was a waffle vendor. The ice cream guy asked the waffle guy for some waffles, and served his ice cream in rolled up waffles instead of bowls. And the waffle cone was born! Twenty four years later, the Parker bro...

 Who else is fucking sick of coronavirus restrictions, and more especially being really careful about coronavirus knowing full well others are not while hospitals start to fill to capacity again? New Zealand, I'm not talking to you here, so just shut the fuck up and/or let me move there. Running is my normal stress relief/coping mechanism for wanting to murder loud typers who don't mute during zoom meetings. I typically run a stupid number of miles per week so that I'm just too fucking tired the rest of the time to care about anything. It really works wonders! Unfortunately, I'm currently out of running due to a tibial stress fracture. That is not entirely true, this week I get to run for one entire minute 4 times. So instead of self-destruction though running, I am now attempting to self destruct by eating an utterly insane amount of sugar. Not infrequently this is in the form of an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting, and this not infrequently occurs more than onc...
