    Interesting to see ice cream / frozen yoghurt mixed with various sweets/chocolate/sauces, and waffles in cups, replace donuts as the choice of the sheeple. Where do we go from here?

    Never heard of it.
    What is this futuristic ice-cream stuff?
    Can I eat it?

    Ice cream has been around since forever..

    And donuts have been around as long as I can remember..

    People still eat both.. I know we do anyway..

    Those nuts are made out of dough, so they are doughnuts.

    Ice cream fad? You mean normal behaviour every single summer since ice cream was invented?

    In warm weather, creamed ice can help reduce your temperature to a more acceptable level.

    The sheeple are the ones who overanalyze inane occurrences.

    First doughnuts and then ice cream. Before you know it we’ll be eating fish coated in batter with slivers of fried potatoes on the side. Or some kind of extract from the cocoa plant in “bar” form.

    Shudder

    What the op means I think is the number of shops that specialise in donuts are now being replaced with fancy ice cream shops. Which I've noticed as well. In my small town we used to have 2 donut shops. Now we have 3 ice cream shops and no specialised donut shops.

    Not complaining, I feckin love Ice cream.

    And before the donut shops we had the cupcake shops. They really annoyed me.

    Cupcakes, American crap, they are fairy cakes and should be fluffy and light not big balls of leathery stodgy with icing that would give you a toothache.

    Love ice cream, my favorite was a golly bar, but no more

    I don't understand this American shite of shops that specialise in one food. Donuts are nice and all but I'd rather have a normal bakery that sells a range of cakes. This fad doesn't seem to have caught on where I live anyway.

    Come to think of it there was a frozen yoghurt shop here a couple of years ago. They only lasted a few months before they shut down.

    I thought this predated the doughnut thing. We were tripping over gelato places and "shake shacks" etc long before the doughnut places. If anything I think it has long been over as a trend, and just back to normal levels of summer icecream consumption.

    Two points.

    1) not everybody who likes what you dislike is a sheeple.
    2) we’ve been eating ice cream for generations. And adding stuff to it. That’s literally what a 99 is.

    Otherwise great post! You are a great non sheeple intellectual!

    If that’s what the op is on about, shops that over specialise in ice cream, then he might have had a point. But why are we compensating for his inability to explain his argument? Is writing coherently what sheeples do?

    (All this thread has done has made me desire an ice cream. Off t’ shop soon enough.)

    Ireland has the perfect climate to sink your savings into a business that sells products served at freezing point.

    What I do is get some ice cream and a pack of oreos and blend them with my jaw, saves me 24.2% on average.
