For those of you about to enter midterm season at school, here's a multiple choice question to help you prepare: Flickr user shannonboom's half-eaten strawberry shortcake bar is Photo of the Day for which of the following reasons? a) The contrast between the colors of the melty novelty treat in the foreground and the drab sidewalk in the background. b) A recent discussion about the merits of Strawberry Shortcake vs. Chocolate Eclair. c) There are no merits to discuss...Strawberry Shortcake is the best Good Humor bar ever.

Oooooh! Icecream throwdown! Alright, I'll bite. Strawberry Shortcakes are suitable only for perverts, stroke victims, and the toothless elderly recently recovering from surgery. The one truly great icecream man icecream was the red-white-and-blue Bingo Bomb, which was sadly pulled from the market because of the Red Dye #2 scare and a series of unfortunate brain freezes.
i got to taste both the strawberry and chocolate options for the first time when i was in DC as a kid (about 8 yrs. old, i think). got them from a cart in front of the american history museum.
i can vote equally for both.
d) All of the above (but especially 'c').
I was always partial to the Toasted Almond bar myself.
+1
I prefer the chocolate eclair bar. Mmm...chocolate...
Eclair FTW.
People of a certain age will remember the Good Humor Man's icecream rival, the Foul Humor Man. Guy wore a mortician's outfit, a Snidely Whiplash moustache, covered in leeches, and drove a hearse that played Chopin's funeral march. But he was the ONLY guy in town who sold Bonomo's Turkish Taffy. I miss that stuff.
Strawberry Shortcake Good Humor bars are the best ice bar ever. Anyone who tells you otherwise needs to have their taste buds replaced.
You know who else liked Strawberry Shortcake? I'll give you a little hint. He took over Germany, invaded Poland, hated Jews, and his mother parted her pubic hair on one side. Give up? It's David Hasselhof.
and these treats are inexpensive and actually not that bad for you, calories and fat content.
Slight edge to strawberry over eclair.
Call me easy, but I prefer the plain chocolate covered vanilla bar.
That's not what the guy with the 13-inch wang told me.
I thought the guy with the 13 inch wang DID say she was easy?
You're thinking of the 13-year-old. He said she was easy. He lured her into the back of his Radio Flyer buttwagon with a chocolate covered vanilla bar.
Yeah, your father sure is the ladies man.
Zing!
toasted almond 4 lyfe!
It has very little artistic merit, therefore it's a snapshot and not a photograph.
Are you saying "It's pretty, but there is not much emotion" or is it more that it "evokes the ever-present tension between order and chaos"?
your comment has very little constructive merit, therefore you're a dick.
Mmm, strawberry shortcake ice cream treat. That would make even this rainy, blah week better. Correct answer: C
Never one for strawberry flavor, I like a good ice cream sandwich.
Am I the only one who remembers those being called Scooter Crunch bars?
Ice cream sandwiches please!
a) I always see the Strawberry Shortcake and want go order one, then I always end up getting a Chocolate Eclair. That's just how if goes down. b) Novelty ice cream treats just make me think back to the dodgy neighborhood I used to live in back in college. A dude with an ice cream truck used to sell rocks and play "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" as his truck jingle. c) CHOCO TACO!!!
