Edy's Cake & Cookie Fantasy Frozen Yogurt


[2017-2018] While Edy's (Dreyer's) first release this year was those three limited (and underwhelming) cookie dough flavors, they appear to have now added 4 more permanent froyo flavors. A line up that gets little love suddenly gets four new flavors. Did someone go "let's distract them while we quietly yank the frozen custard line up from existence"? Whatever the reason, we now have Caramel Praline Perfection (almonds), Peanut Butter Overload (peanuts), Salted Caramel Pretzel (potentially cross contaminated), and the only one safe to bring home:

Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Blackberry Chocolate Trio


[New for 2017, Discontinued] It's time to try the flavor that I think will finally make me a true believer of the new Trio line up. The white chocolate version was a little off, salted caramel was better, and I do have a thing for berry ice creams so let's dive in to...

Klondike Brownie Fudge Swirl Ice Cream Bar


[New for 2017] In general, we seem to get one new Klondike flavor in their main bar line up every year. As a disclaimer, my respect for Klondike has waned over the years as their products become cheaper and cheaper (and therefore somewhat of a shadow of their former glory).

Hostess Cupcakes Ice Cream


[New for early 2017] When I picked up the Twinkies ice cream I also picked up this flavor as well, and to keep it simple, this one is a beast.

Blue Bunny Chocolate Vanilla Twist Bunny Snacks


[New for 2017, Discontinued] So Blue Bunny has unveiled four "new" Bunny Snacks to us this year with each variety coming in a bag of six treats. I say it like that because two of the snacks are just funwiches with their stick removed. This is kind of an unusual tactic to take but maybe they got feed back saying that the stick was in the way. Let's try one of the truly new treats.

Yuengling Butterbeer Ice Cream


[New for March 2017] Yesterday, Yuengling's Ice Cream announced their two new flavors for 2017, Butterbeer and Strawberry. That's right, butterbeer ice cream, as inspired by Harry Potter butterbeer. I think "great!" because I picked up this pint last Friday and already have a review written of...

The Nosh Show Episode 100 Extravaganza


Hiyoooo! Can you believe we made it to the 100th episode of the Nosh Show? I know there was a one week delay but that's only because Marvo was busy putting in a ton of effort creating a very silly Episode 100 for you.

To commemorate a hundred episodes of hanging out and talking junk food, fast food, and frozen treats, we play junk food jeopardy and it's harder than it sounds. I don't want to spoil any of the surprises during the show, but I would like to take a moment to apologize for sounding a bit frustrated in the middle of the show. After about three minutes though you will hear a bunch of laughter and everything is alright again (I may have said something that needed editing).

Alright, thanks to Marvo, Eric, and Ryan for letting me hang out with them and thanks to all of you for listening. Have a good week everyone!

Talenti Vanilla Chai Gelato #47


[New for 2017] With a total of four new flavors that we know about, Talenti seems to be aiming for safe, no, tame, flavors this year. I'm not sure what's up, but let's try...

Ben & Jerry's Cereal Splashback Ice Cream


[New for March 2017] In a fairly surprising move, Ben & Jerry's has recently released scoop shop only flavors inspired by cereal milk! Maybe they were inspired by those companies trying to put out cereal milk flavored milk but whatever the reason is, I think this is a more fun application of that idea. Since a small is 2 scoops and a large is 3 scoops, I decided to get a large and try all three...

Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel Chocolate Trio


[New for early 2017, Discontinued] 
It's time to investigate the second Trio flavor I found. I thought the triple chocolate version was neat but not mind-blowing, but let's see how caramel switches things up.

Gelato Fiasco Chocolate Raspberry Jam Gelato


[By Nick, 2017 only] The lovely folks over at Gelato Fiasco sent both Dubba and I some free samples of their latest flavors plus a few other gems like a reformulated version of my beloved Torched Marshmallow S'mores Gelato. Out of the four new flavors being rolled out right now, this one caught my attention the most.

Baskin-Robbins Reese's 3-Pointer Ice Cream


[New for March 2017] Time to try a flavor that sounds pretty amazing. I'm in that group that adores the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, especially when Reese's is in the mix, so it's hard not to set my expectations very high for this one. Let's dig in to a double scoop of...

Hostess Twinkies Ice Cream


[New for early 2017] Ok, this poor review has been in the queue long enough. As you have probably seen in store or on social media, Hostess has teamed up with Edys (Dreyers) to deliver three limited edition ice creams and three treats. It's actually pretty clever how basically each flavor comes in two forms. The first of these products that I cracked open is...

Magnum Double Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Bar


[New for early 2017] I'm lucky enough to be one of those people who stumbled on both of the new Magnum ice cream bars at the same time. In my heart, I wanted to try the C&C version first, but I decided to put my purchase up to a vote on instagram and they picked...

Talenti Vanilla Blueberry Crumble Gelato #46


[New for 2017] Ready for another Talenti flavor? So far it looks like there are just four truly new flavors for 2017 and I've already dug in to the intriguing peanut butter fudge sorbetto.

Edy's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough


[New for 2017] Edy's (Dreyer's) has released three new cookie dough inspired flavors and the first one I had, double chocolate chip cookie dough, was terrible. This version can't be any worse right?

Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream Pint Slices


[New for 2017, Discontinued] Ok, one last pint slice to cover. We've got Fudge Brownie and PB Cup battling for the number one spot, the dull Cookie Dough bringing up the rear, and in the middle we've got...
