Icedream On

I don't really dream about Ice Cream.....well not all of the time.

However, I do talk about Chick-Fil-A a lot. But, they're worth talking about.

They have food you can believe in. Their advertising is real. When I see an ad from Chick-Fil-A, I know it's true.

It may surprise you to find out, that until last week I have never tried Chick-Fil-A's Icedream. First the question comes up as to why the heck they call it Icedream instead of Ice Cream. I suppose the reasoning is that it's dreamy and delicious and freakin fantastic.

Icedream has never been on my food radar. Usually if I'm going to get Ice Cream I'm going to Dairy Queen or Dairy Kurl or Cold Stone. Plus, I have had fast food Ice Cream before. Basically it's vanilla, melts quickly and isn't too amazing. It's boring, and there aren't many options if you are really trying to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Because of my wife's constant overwhelming reviews of Icedream at Chick-Fil-A one night last week I decided it was time to take the leap and give it a try.

There is nothing dreamy about the presentation of this Ice Cream. It's completely no frills. There are your standard three sizes. I was shocked when I ordered a small and they filled an entire "small" drink cup full of ice cream. Yes a normal Styrofoam drink cup filled with ice cream!

It was HUGE and was easily the same size as a large at Dairy Queen. It costs around $1.50. Let me just break that down for you - - you can get ice cream at Chick-Fil-A for less than a soda at Chick-Fil-A. What's the logic in that?

The ice cream stays cold. It doesn't melt. It's thick and creamy and tastes truly like good old fashion ice cream. I'm not entirely sure how they accomplish this thick cold taste. It tastes like premium ice cream and because it is in the Styrofoam cup it doesn't melt at all. It takes me a solid 10-15 minutes to eat the small cup. I can down a blizzard in less than 10.

It seems to me that many people aren't fully aware of the magic of Icedream. It never really occured to me as an option - and I think about food. In many ways it's an unknown little secret about Chick-Fil-A. Most interestingly, Chick-Fil-A's good old fashion Icedream is better than any other plain vanilla ice cream out there.

They don't care about making it pretty, they don't need to mix candy in. You don't need whipped cream or hot chocolate sauce or a cherry. It doesn't have to be in a waffle bowl. All they need to do to fulfill your dreams is to just put plain vanilla ice cream in a plain Styrofoam drink cup. - Now that is truly a remarkable product....when nothing else matters aside from the food you know it's good.

Discover the ice cream phenomenon at Chick-Fil-A....it's worth dreaming about.
