A Sweet Taste of Freedom
I bet you thought this blog was dead...and let's face it...it pretty much is. But every once and a while something happens that is so blogworthy, that even Abe Lincoln himself would rise from his grave, head to the nearest WiFi hotspot and post this on his blog, http://shotinatheatre.blogspot.com *Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare for the greatest moment of your week, and quite possibly my personal swan song.
Let me start by setting the scene. I'm in Lehighton, PA at a Mobil Station. I'm having a craving for something sweet...though at the time I'm not sure what. When I enter the convenience store area of this gas station, the nauseating smell of the day old (or longer) hot dogs slowly rolling over themselves almost makes retreat. But I focus and remember my mission. I glance slowly down the aisle; Snickers...not going to cut it. Sour Patch Kids...delicious, but not what I'm looking for. Then I see it...beckoning me home the way your mother would at dusk on a warm summer day: The Dairy Case.
The dairy case of a gas station contains several treasures, but none more precious than the late night pint of ice cream. It was perfect, satisfying every need I was experiencing at the time. I approached the door to discover something even more amazing than what I anticipated. A brand of ice cream I've never seen before. Better than Haagen Daaz, Blue Bunny, Ben, Jerry, or any of their counterparts. As I stood there gleaming in awe, the glass door fogging up the way gas station dairy case doors are wont to do, I said this prayer to myself:
"Dear sweet little baby Jesus, please let this ice cream company have a website. For if it doesn't, know one will ever believe the story I shall tell them."
I'm proud to let you know, in case you didn't know already, that God is good, and prayers are answered. Please enjoy the following website for Star Spangled Ice Cream. Nearly everything on this sight is worth a read, but pay special attention the flavors, and a section dedicated to "The Nuge" who proudly supports this product. Also keep in mind that though this seems like it was wonderfully created just to give people a laugh via the internets, it is in fact real, and sold in Mobil gas stations in Lehighton, PA and soon throughout the world.
*You clicked on it, didn't you. Sad.
