I read somewhere where the Ben & Jerry's creators died of heart attacks in their forties and fifties. I guess they liked their ice-cream.

Why isn't Cadbury chocolate more popular. Hershey chocolate tastes like evaporated milk to me.
Hershey doesn't make chocolate. They make chocolate flavored wax. This should tell you all you need to know abou the quality of Hershey:
"In March 2007, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association, whose members include Hershey, Nestlé, and Archer Daniels Midland, began lobbying the FDA to change the legal definition of chocolate to let them substitute "safe and suitable vegetable fats and oils" (including partially hydrogenated vegetable oils) for cocoa butter in addition to using "any sweetening agent" (including artificial sweeteners) and milk substitutes."

I read somewhere where the Ben & Jerry's creators died of heart attacks in their forties and fifties. I guess they liked their ice-cream. I think only one of them died from a heart attack when he was about forty. The other had some serious problems. I seem to recall a TV program I saw about it, and they had the children of the surviving partner talking about all the ice cream their parents allowed them to eat when they were younger and the health struggle of the partner who was still alive.
I blame all the candy they put in their product. Pure ice cream is the perfect food.
{EDIT} Just checked. It looks like both are still alive. Maybe they both had heart attacks but survived.

:eek: Are you kidding? Chunky Monkey!!! It's the best. I laugh at the serving sizes they put on there. Like it serves 8 or something, instead of 1.5 :p
You should try the Godiva brand, it's really good too.How do you eat 8 servings of ice-cream and stay so slim???:confused: :confused: :confused:
Here's a picture of NNS at the Tour of Missouri, that she sent me privately. I don't think NNS will mind because her face is shaded out.

Looks like B&J ran into problems with Chunky Monkey in Japan.

Would you eat ice cream flavored with large pieces of primates? Unfortunately for Ben & Jerry's, that's how the Japanese interpreted the ice cream makers' "Chunky Monkey" flavor-literally. The company was forced to come up with another name for the banana-flavored dessert, the New York Times reports. Imagine the interpretation problems foreigners could have with other Ben & Jerry's flavors. "Phish Food"--pellets or flakes? "Chubby Hubby"-chunks of overweight men? It's a good thing they've retired their "Tennessee Mud" flavor.

Actually the pints say they have four servings. You need to exercise at a moderate pace (400 cal/hour) for thirty-five to fifty-five minutes per serving. A century is good for three pints of Haagen-Dazs strawberry.

Provided I keep the servings small enough that they don't melt before finishing them. :rolleyes:

HD Belgian Chocolate has 1320 calories in a pint. So if you could burn 660 cals/hour you would have to take two hours eating the pint. I think it would melt unless you can put the trainer outside in thirty degree weather. After it melts you could just drink it, or you could get an IV and pump it directly into your veins.
If you can burn 540 calories per hour then you could survive of Big Macs. You could start a century with five Big Macs, provided you can gag down five Big Macs in five hours.

Then all I need to do is get off the trainer and get a new serving every fifteen minutes or so. Though 2 hours of cycling per pint is a bit too slow on the intake to satisfy a true ice-cream fetish.
As far as the Big Macs in the century go - they're going to make a mess of my jersey pocket.

They come in nice boxes. You duct tape them to your frame. It couldn't be any worse than Powerbars.

Actually...I've got an even better scenario imagined. Have you ever tried those Japanese ice-cream dumplings. They are balls of ice-cream about the size of a golf-ball and they are encased in a glutinous-rice soft pastry and rolled in icing sugar. Man they are good.
Anyway, with those, I wouldn't even need a spoon or have to get off the bike. Just put 'em in a bowl in some ice beside the bike. Have one every 5 minutes or so. Presto. No weight gain. Bro - your a genius.

I'm bored. Plus Cranky (there's a name that's good for a double entendre) is gaining on me.

I once worked for a company that was trying to get all their product labels, etc translated into Spanish, and there was a lot of concern about getting the advertising lingo properly translated...they told us a horror story about Coors beer translating their phrase "let the good times roll" into something that was a euphemism for ...diarreah. Guess they didn't sell much Coors!

I've heard that story too... I think it was an older brand, though, like Baskin-Robbins or something.

Maybe it was just a matter of too much truth in advertising on that one.

And I could put a strawberry shake in one of the water bottles!:) I have often wondered what is in those things that pass for shakes at Mickey D's. When they start to melt, they turn intoa strangely textured goo. I knew someone who was severely lactose intolerant, and she claimed she could eat McDonald's shakes.
