Carvel

Am I missing some huge inside joke, as all my friends in DC think that Carvel is the best place on earth, and I only associate it with white trash birthday parties?

The ice cream gives me the runs like soft serve, has no taste, and the ice cream cakes go from being Cialis-hard to mush with no in-between time, and are 80% icing anyway. And Cookie Puss scares the shit out of me.

Someone please explain the allure of Carvel.

Since I'm a huge ice cream fan, and I mean huge, I think I can chime in on this. I have to agree with you that ice cream cakes sort of suck due to it being rock hard or super soft, but I think that office people love it since it is a change of pace for them. The normal crappy cakes that are brought in are those $7.99 specials over at Giant that taste like cardboard. Plus there is a perception with women that an ice cream cake means additional thought since you have to go to a special store. Sort of like Hallmark Cards. Women don't seem to care what the card says, but as long as it is from Hallmark, you get a gold star.

I used to be able to polish off entire cakes and pies in a single sitting, but now if I have one piece of cake at work, I'm sleeping by 3:00pm.
