Dreyer's Gingerbread Man

Ice cream cos. are in the throes of releasing their holiday flavors – most commonly peppmint, pumpkin, & eggnog – but Dreyer’s has one that’s sorta novel: Gingerbread Man, cinnamon ice cream w/ brown sugar swirl & ginger cookie pieces. Too bad Dreyer's ice cream is so bleh. This flavor has been out a couplo yrs but wasn’t as widespread as the others. Speaking of not widespread, Starbucks has a new MAPLE Latte but heavens to murgatroid, it’s only available in new England and Canada

  1. It sounds like a spicy version of the Oreo-cookie-and-cream style ice cream.

  3. look twisted, enough already w/ the goddamned salmon. yes yes you live in the pac NW. but salmon should be salmon, not soda, not latte. we've about had our fill of the salmon. not another WORD about the salmon

  6. I had high hopes for that thing (the gingerbread latte) but found it to be pretty funky. I do like their gingerbread biscotti, however

  22. WTF Ms.ery? Quick, someobody get her a Gingerbread latte!

  23. I know what makes this ice cream less than great. It is too sweet. Gingerbread is not overly sweet and the ice cream part of this is. It's a great cinnamon hit but it could back off on the sugar.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Is that so, Captain?

    ReplyDelete
  25. i don't want to usurp the captain's "last"-ness but i'm pleased to read what appears to be an actual first-hand report
