OK, we need a flavor of the month. This being the first month of the new year I think we need something a little different. Maybe something a little unusual. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!?!? Think think think. We could try eating ice cream while standing on our heads (but that may be just a touch too unusual and very very messy) Gotta be a simpler solution. We 've been doing flavors for the last few months, but it doesnt seem right to start off the new year with just one flavor. It just feels wrong to enter a new year with only 1 specific choice as flavor of the month (as we all know you can always choose whatever flavor you want and the world would be a very boring place if there was only one flavor) What to do what to do. More than one flavor, something different, starting a new year.... WAIT, THAT'S IT!. A New Flavor! The flavor of the month is to try a new flavor. Something you've never tried before. A new frozen culinary direction for your tastebuds (and you should always be buds with your tastebuds) Maybe you're a vanilla fan, try mixing something into it or putting something on it! (vanilla is still the number one seller in the world) Just expand your frozen taste treat horizons in January. As always all chips, chunks, swirls, twirls, sundaes, sodas, shakes, malts, floats... (you know the rest) are in as well.
Try something new for the new year. Who know, it may become one of your favorites from here on out.
