I had to try the thrifty ice cream, since alot of yelpers seem to go gaga over it, and it's a couple blocks from the house. I had the choco malt and the butter praline , both of the flavors were very good . Both full of there respective flavors. I don't know the deal about the cylindrical scoop except that it cost a $100 , I don't think it added any flavor. Lots of other interesting flavors that I have to try, something to look forward to, in the summer .
