I have not had yummy homemade creamery in YEARS. It just doesn't seem to exist amongst the slew of chain ice cream joints around. I was really excited to try Carolina Creamery because of all the rave reviews. I tried a couple of flavors and didn't really like any of them. None of the flavors looked appealing to me (which is very odd for a sweet tooth like myself). I got a kid sized fudge ripple. It tasted like blue bell vanilla ice cream with Hershey's syrup mixed in. I could not even finish a kids size. I prefer Baskin and Robbins over Carolina Creamery.
