Americone Dream

It would seem that I spoke a bit too soon. While wandering through the local Wawa something told me to check the ice cream section. Sure enough, Americone Dream. I’m really not into gimmicks. Like buying ice cream just because it has the picture of a celebrity whose show I watch. I was genuinely excited about this ice cream. Albeit for the sole reason that someone once told me in passing that it tasted like a Choco Taco. I used to live for Choco Tacos, especially when they came from Taco Bell. Choco Tacos are hard to find these days, so I was pretty stoked about finding a reasonable facsimile. So I picked up the small 1 pint carton… for $4.29 this thing better deliver.

It’s a bit bland, but not bad. It’s just not close enough to the Choco Taco to impress me. The vanilla ice cream overwhelms the chocolate covered cone bits, which left me with the feeling that it’s missing something. As I recall, the Choco Taco had nuts on top; maybe that would be enough. With Colbert’s pic on the carton and a name like Americone Dream, that alone is enough to have a container around, if only just for show. The fact that it’s a solid flavor, without any gimmicky crap inside, makes it a worth throwing down the four bucks to give it a try.
