I don't get Cold Stone. My daughter once got the mint flavor w/ mix-in, it tasted like toothpaste, the mint flavor was so strong!
The mix-ins give ice cream w/ so-so flavor some zip, but that adds too many unnecessary calories.
If I'm gonna blow bucks on ice cream, its either a special stop to Angel Sweet where the flavors of the gelato on its own make it yummy, no need for mix-ins, or I'll pick up some Ben & Jerry's, Blue Bunny or Breyers from Fry's.
