OK, time for the flavor of the month. Now, we could go just about any direction with this one, but I've been thinking for days about it and just cant figure out which one makes the most sense.
Gotta just think think think.
Cant believe it's gonna be 2008 in just a few days. Where oh where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday that we were all talking about the new millenium and how things would be in the future. Yep, sure does seem like these years go by fast. Looks like it's just about time to hang up a new calender. You know, there's an extra day this year! Yep, there's a Feb 29th. (but we'll get to that later in Feb)
Now where was I?!?!?! Oh yeah. A flavor of the month for the first month of the new year.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!?!?!
What to do what to do?!?!?!?
Lets see....
New Year arrives and we need a new flavor of the month.
Wait a minute!
That's it.
New Flavor For The New Year! [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]
It was so very very simple.
The Flavor of the month for January is...
A new flavor!
That's right sports fans (and non sports fans as well) Start off the new year right by trying a new flavor! Expand your ice cream and frozen treat horizons in January. Become more diverse! Heck, try more than one new flavor or even an old flavor that you havent had before.
Yes indeed folks, it's time to ring in the new year with a new taste, a new flavor, a change from the same old same old.

As always all chips, chunks, dips, dunks, swirls, twirls, sundae, cups, cones, malts, shakes ... (you know the rest) are in as well.

Party on into 2008 with a new flavor!

And as long as we are on the subject of frozen stuff...
