Michael — That does sound cool. I remember getting those tiny ice cream cups with the wooden spoons at our local roller rink. You would get them at “half time” during birthday parties. Thanks for sharing your memory!

Just a few days ago I was remembering the excitment we would always feel as kids when, at a party, we’d catch a glimpse of the big canvas container with big industrial zippers. It was always filled with dry-ice and little paper cups of ice cream and a wooden paddle spoon. It was double fun because you always got to play with the dry-ice after we’d finished eating the ice cream.

Yogurt — I can’t imagine anymore more upsetting for all parties. Ugh. I’m sure the van was never the same again.

Ha ha ha! What an awesome story. I remember when my parent’s had just purchased a brand new van to haul around our entire family. We were on our way home from the grandparents when my little brother puked before he could make it out of the car. It splattered right against the door of the 2 day old van. My dad was not happy.

You are too funny. The image of a drippy little girl hanging her ice cream out the window is a hilarious visual. You are one of the funniest writers I've read. Thanks for the belly-laugh. Don's last blog post..Because I Do

Babs — Oh, please don’t feel like an intruder. The Junk Drawer welcomes everyone with a handshake and a “how do you do?” I’m so glad you liked the story. I eat ice cream year ’round, so my messy problems are limited to summer

Hey, I just saw your iPhone sunset pictures. They’re amazing. Not bad at all for a phone!

I feel a bit like an intruder here, but I just loved that story, so had to comment. Ice cream, sun and mess go together :O) Babs (Beetle)'s last blog post..The stranger in 1953

Wonderful story Kathy. Brings back memories of my father and I and dripping ice cream cones as well.

Michele — I’m sorry I’m laughing at your description of the exploding Frostee. It reminds me of a story a co-worker told me. She once took an entire crockpot of barbeque to a picnic. She made a sharp turn and the pot tipped over. Everything fell out. When she arrived at her destination, someone grabbed a shovel. A SHOVEL!! to get it all out. Gross, gross, gross.

Bruce — Believe me, I was shakin’ in my boots. I think most of it dripped on me, not the interior, thank God.

chartroose — Oh, my. That sounds disgusting. I’ve had problems with strawberry ice cream, too. See #7.

Aww, I'm sorry you lost your ice cream. One time I "lost" some strawberry ice cream in the back of my Dad's old Rambler. Have you ever smelled strawberry vomit? He was NOT happy. chartroose's last blog post..March is the Cruellest Month

Oh Kathy, even milkshakes don't do well in cars. My mother somehow exploded an entire Wendy's Frostee in my car. She didn't just spill it, it kinda erupted like a volcano. There were milky chocolate pools all over the front passenger area that lingered for weeks. Since then she's spilled more drinks and food on her floor mat beyond anything I could have possibly done as a child. There are so many stains and discolorations on it that it would keep an entire CSI unit busy for weeks. Guess it's just payback for all of the other places of her's I messed up through the years. lol Michele's last blog post..Does Your Family Do This?
