Ben & Jerry
Ben & Jerry outlets in Singapore
My secondary school principle once shared with us an anecdote. There was an ice-cream cart (the old-school way of buying ice cream from the uncle on bicycle cart) parked outside my school. As it was illegal to sell ice-cream directly outside a school, she had to follow the uncle to a distance until it was legal for the uncle to sell his ice-cream there. The moment the uncle was in the legal boundary where he could start selling his ice-cream, she bought an ice-cream cone from the uncle, because she found it hard to resist the yummy ice-creams that the uncle sold.
I guess this little anecdote has depicted the irresistible attraction of ice-creams.
Leaving the anecdote aside, my impression of an ice-cream parlour: Aromatic whiffs of freshly-baked waffles, brightly-coloured and delicious-looking ice-creams and a cheery decor. Ice-cream is always associated with such happy stuff, maybe that’s why eating ice-creams never fail to make me happy.
My favourite brand of ice-cream is Ben & Jerry ever since I tried them one or two years back. The ice-cream is thick and creamy, yet not overtly sweet, and I love all the different ice-cream flavours offered by the brand. Of course, when I discovered Ben & Jerry ice-cream parlours around Singapore recently, I was ecstatic.
When I got my first pay cheque a few months back, one of the first things that my colleague and I did was to have Ben & Jerry ice-cream for dessert after lunch that day, to celebrate the cheerful occasion of having our first pay cheque. It was one of the rare few occasions that we didn’t abide to our "no-more-than-$5" policy for lunch budgeting.
I think I’ve been having a bit too much Ben & Jerry ice-cream recently. Maybe there are some stuff that I need some cheering up about, and having some great ice-cream does bring me that temporary joy. I guess it’s just a period of mood swings for me and of not knowing what I want. I hate these periods in life because they always throw me off balance, especially when I always thought that I’m a person who knows what I want. I hate it when I become indecisive.
But I guess I’ve cheered up, so no more Ben & Jerry ice-cream for me. Instead, I think I need some workout to work off these ice-creams instead. =S
