Sonic gingerbread blast
Sonic = Okla-spawned chain with 3K+ branches and outdoor carhop-style service.
Blast = thick shake made with soft-serve ice cream, not unlike DQ's Blizzard (which btw has not just a slew of flavors but also a monthly flavor, this month’s being Merry Mint Chip.) (hey, it’s a 2-for-1 blog item.)
And it's on to today’s theme: Sonic’s gingerbread blast. The description duzzn't sound that hot (crumbled-up gingerbread cookies blended into vanilla i.c.), but the drink merits a nod becuz 1. it’s new and 2. it’s gingerbread, which seems 2B trending up as THE holiday flavor, perhaps even toppling the previously-established MINT.

THE holiday flavor is eggnog.
I shall take gingerbread over mint any day and twice on Sunday.
If it's anywhere near as good as the Edy's g-bread ice cream, put me down for one.
Something wrong with that there Blizzard link.
Isn't "gingerbread" a lot like "pumpkin?" (i.e., it's the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, etc. that everyone is really in love with and associates with Christmas.)
Twisted: If you're afraid of imbibing raw eggs, think most of the commercial eggng mixes use ones that have been pasteurized.

I don't think it's the bacteria Twisted is concerned about, but the cholesterol, sugar, fat and alcohol.
I'm with the Captain on this. I do like me some gingerbread.
Some of the spices are indeed similar. What seperated the Edy's Pumpkin IC from the GB IC were the bits of cookie in a thouroughly cinnamon IC base. The pumpkin wasn't very pumpkin-y. Still good stuff though. If Sonic did a Pupmkin Pie thing that would be cool with me.
hey the DQ link is fixed
hellooooo. i fixed the DQ link.
Twisted; What type of home do you come from that don't let you pour the bourbon into you own eggnog?
YOU SAY PARIS, I SAY DOG KILLER!!!
That's fascinating. I come from a very sad home where the radio was very angry and it wouldn't let me listen to my mother AT ALL. But we always liked us some gingerbread.
