My man was like I know you want some ice cream, so go ahead and treat yourself. So this was all the coaxing I needed and off I walked into Cold Stone.
I had not visited a Cold Stone in a couple of years and was actually looking forward to it. But I walked in and the store was not in the best presentable manner. It felt dingy and offputting. I was serviced fairly quickly, although there was not a person behind the counter when I walked in. I went with a favorite but made an adjustment to the flavor of the ice cream.
My ice cream was creamy but it melted so fast. Much faster than I ever remember and this just turned me off. It was rich and sweet and definitely satiated my sweet tooth but it didn't make me feel happy. And shouldn't ice cream make us feel good. My son didn't have the same problem I had. He devoured his chocolate and gummy bears and was just as happy as can be.
Not the worst, but there are other options in town that I just don't think I would come back.
