Well, lets see. We need a flavor to savour for august. What to do what to do. Think think think. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!!? It would be real easy to just say Peachness again since it does carry through August (and I'm sure I'll enjoy some in August) but we need a little something different. We could do licking again since it's the dog days of August. But, again licking will be shown plenty of love without being the top dog in the dogs days of Summer. No wee need something that will really cool us down in the summer heat. Something colder than cold. Something ice cold. Something that will chill us as much as it is chilled. We could build giant igloos but I dont think they'd hold up too well in this heat. Still ice is nice and what's colder than ice. Wait a minute, that's it. ICE! Frozen treats in ice form. Icees, slushes, snow cones, frozen pork chops (well, you might wanna cook those first instead of eating them frozen but work with me on this one) smoothies, italian ice ... Yes, it's the frozen drink, the slush, the snow cone, the icee, the slush puppy, the flavor ice the whatever frozen treat floats you frozen stuff loving boat. August is yours my frozen and partially frozen friends. So enjoy a frozen treat in August or if you arent into the frozen treats go right ahead and enjoy whatever cold treat you like (as always all chips, chunks, dips, dunks, swirls,.... You know the rest. Are in as well) Whatever flavor you like, whatever way you like it. The choice is up to you. Now get down with your frozen loving self.
