| - The last time I was in Baskin Robbins was after little league some time in the 80s I think. This is one of the places where when you see one in a shopping center you're like "oh yeah...31 flavors still exists!" Which is weird because it's ice cream, and who doesn't like that?
So I got a flyer in my mail that offered $1 scoops at the old BR31, and I decided to take advantage. Place was clean, abusively colorful, and had nice selection of ice cream.
I chose pralines and cream (which I've found out recently is pronounced "praah-leens") and peanut butter cup. Both were just pretty good, which again is weird because...ice cream, but had a syrupy sweetness to them, and were not all that creamy. It was kind of an ice milk texture, not the smooth, creamy texture you'd expect. Also, despite the fact that both scoops were crammed full of candy bits, syrup ribbons, and nuts, it was strangely lacking any flavor other than an overpowering sweetness. Weird.
The kid behind the counter was nice, and even have me the old head nod when he clearly gave me a bigger scoop than he was supposed to. Unfortunately though this wouldn't be enough to bring me back in again once the $1 promo is over. There are just too many other better options out there.
