| - I love Kennywood. Garfield's Nightmare (or Revenge, depending who you ask) is legendary. That's not what I'm here to talk about.
No, I'd like to share my very confusing and bizarre experience with the Dippin' Dots stand. I forget the exact location, but it's near the water area with the Sky Drop.
I was buying two kinds of "sundaes" from the stand, deciding to get the Gummy Yummy (?) for myself while my boyfriend wanted Banana Split. No problem, I mean they're like $4.25 each but that's the magic of Kennywood.
When trying to order, reading off the menu above me, I was met with a blank look from the dude working there. He was slow to respond and I guess I didn't really hear quite what he said, but at the time I believed he was saying they were out of the supplies for the Gummy sundae. No problem dude, I say, I'll take the peanut butter cup one instead. Another long look from the guy behind the counter but he soon proceeded in due course.
Whatever I got was pretty much vanilla dots with scant chocolate chunks and a few mouse-size peanut butter cups. They have no right to call this thing a sundae. That ain't the dude's fault, though.
Afterward when I was pondering wtf just happened, my boyfriend pointed out that when I ordered the gummy sundae the guy working the stand had told me point blank he had no idea what that was. But it was written, in stone, on the menu right above his head? I'm not even mad. "Amir" from Dippin' Dots, you are indeed an enigma wrapped in a mystery. Never change.
