So, long story short...

While Travis J. Todd was ordering at Cold Stone

Travis J. Todd made the mistake of

mixing in too many items

My Advice to You is

stick to something tried, true and simple.

Here's the whole story

Firstly, if you don't know what Cold Stone is, it's an ice cream shop where you choose a base flavor of ice cream and then get a plethora of options of other candies, cookies, fruit, etcetera to mix into it.

So, my friend and I go to Cold Stone. I think I'd been helping him out with his car or something (or maybe out of the kindness of his heart) he said, "Get whatever you want. I'll pay."

So, bewildered by the expanse of choices in front of me I kind of blacked out. I just looked at the ice creams and candies and started naming them. "Uh...Chocolate, and uh...Snickers...and uh...Graham Crackers...oh, and uh...Blueberries...and...oh man...uh....Gummy Bears!"

When I finally came to, I had in front of me a frozen confectionery concoction like this world has never seen. Ben and Jerry would have capped my ass for disgracing the divine desert of ice cream.

I could eat about three bites before I started throwing up in my mouth a little.

So, moral is, just pick something you know is good and go with it. A good rule of thumb is to just pick one or two (max) things to mix in your Cold Stone ice cream. Just because it's a free ice cream from a friend, doesn't mean it's the last, so don't get crazy and cram it all in. Free ice creams kind of loose their allure when you can't stomach them.
