I lol'd at "hand-scooped." Who the hell is that trying to appeal to?

 

[eastmen]

THe best are ice cream between two waffles . After that is ice cream between 2 fresh baked cookies.

any time i'm in seaside or alantic city I get them. I get the cookies in disney

 

[Toparaman]

Looks delicious. And the price is right. Fuck the haters, they're just jelly.

 

[Trent Strong]

I'd rather have a Chipwich.

 

[NukeLaser]

Someone in California-Gaf needs to take one for the team and eat one and tell us how it is.

 

[Naka]

Trying to appeal to the stoner crowd even further maybe? Have you seen their new t-shirts?

 

[Amon37]

The problem I have is I like my poptarts toasted, a warm poptart with the ice cream is what I'm talking out.

I'm sure I'll try one next time I'm there.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

This is supposedly now out nationwide.

Apparently, there was so much buzz surrounding Carl's Jr.'s test of a strawberry Pop-Tarts ice cream sandwich back in April that they decided to release it nationally.

Carl's Jr. is also offering a limited-time deal where you can get a free Strawberry Pop-Tarts Ice Cream Sandwich with the purchase of a Super Bacon Cheeseburger combo at participating Carl’s Jr. restaurants.

This sounds like a parody of something.

 

[Guevara]

So you get your Super combo, eat that, then have a melty, lukewarm poptart sandwich to look forward to?

 

[Dead Prince]

you think they would have crushed the poptart and swirled in into the french vanilla ice cream and made a different shell for it.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Oh boy that actually sounds good. Adds ice cream and pop tarts to shopping list for weekend. That picture though is not a good one. If it didn't say I'd almost think that was a pop-tart mashed potato sandwich.

For promotional food photos, ice cream is often substituted with mashed potatoes. This is because due to the lighting fixtures, ice cream melts quite quickly and is difficult to work with.

 

[LogicStep]

The lamest pop-tart flavor out of all of them.

You mean best.

 

[snacknuts]

That's pretty heavy, 2 pop-tarts are bad enough without ice cream

This is only one Pop-Tart.

 

[Admiral Bone to Pick]

I'm on a pretty strict diet now, and while I enjoy the benefits of the weight loss and feeling better in general, all these unhealthy fast food threads are making me kinda sad.

In the Canadian promo photo, they added gravy and cheese curds to the item, as is tradition,

 

[Ken K in the Fresh!!!]

has eggo waffles n ice cream been done yet?

 

[PigSpeakers]

Nah, when I last went to Carl's Jr. and they were doing this promotion with the chocolate chip cookie icecream sandwich, they gave you a coupon for the ice cream so you could redeem it later. I imagine they're doing the same thing here.

 

[Kitschkraft]

Doesn't look very compelling.

I'm all for these weird mashups and heart attack inducing combos when they are interesting and have the probability of tasting good(KFC double down, Krispy kream burger, etc), this just looks kinda lazy.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I'd eat the fuck outta that.

 

[Kitschkraft]

I have a friend that used to always toast two waffles, and put peanut butter between them to make a sandwich....good stoner food I suppose.

Waffles would be better than pop tarts.

Toasters Strudels would shut this bullshit down completely.

 

[richiek]

 

[corn_fest]

Doesn't seem like a bad price for what it is, but it doesn't seem too appetizing, either.
The whole thing will just be kinda mushy, unlike an ice cream and cookie sandwich.

 

[triplestation]

hand scooped made me lol

 

[WordAssassin]

I'm alarmed at the number of people who think that this is two Pop-Tarts instead of just one cut in half, especially since they show the inner filling so it's clearly been cut in half.

I've done that (open-face though, too much bread otherwise). Another good treat is two waffles with honey and chicken strips in the middle.

Maybe they think it's half-eaten.

 

[Cipherr]

Together at last.

 

[Dereck]

Who has tasted this?

 

[Deprive]

Can't see this being any good. Pop tarts are so bland now compared to like 10-15 years ago :|

I did this in college with eggo waffles, peanut butter & jelly. Made for a good on-the-go breakfast. Cheap too.

This, what the hell?

 

[Phreaker]

I love poptarts and ice cream. Never though to put the two together, genius!

 

[corn_fest]

You guys know that just means scooped out of a bucket, not squeezed out of a machine, right?
Like, there is no actual ice cream handshake going on here.

lol, I'm dying over this.

LOL HANDSCOOPED ICECREAM BETWEEN TWO POP-TARTS, HANDSCOOPED

 

[arab]

use the ultimate poptart flavor and i'm in

 

[J-Rod]

Besides not tasting good, it seems like it would be a huge mess trying to eat this thing.

 

[Sub_Level]

Biting straight into ice cream is the worst thing you can freaking do.

No thanks.

 

[Dead Prince]

chocolate buttercream frosting?

they should have used the ice cream shoppe edition.

 

[Dereck]

chocolate buttercream frosting?

Smores

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

I tried one of these yesterday and it sucked.

Level up your ice cream sandwich eating skills

 

[Dereck]

Level up your ice cream sandwich eating skills

Let the icecream melt slightly to the point where it becomes "a part" of the sandwich right?

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Hahahaha, what?

Doesn't make any sense

It makes perfect sense. I don't know why no one thought of it before.

 

[SeanR1221]

Someone post that video where researchers found people love junk food piled on junk food.

Doesn't surprise me one bit and it makes sense. Certainly would explain why that looks like mashed potatoes then. It's so weird the things they do to photograph food. Watched a thing once about some of the stuff and it was just weird some of the stuff they'd do.

 

[5amshift]

It would be so hard to eat, having ice cream squish out the sides when biting.

 

[breakfuss]

wtf is a carl's jr? lol. hardees' for northerners?

People are questioning what exactly the crossover is in appealing between people who lean towards the homeliness of something hand done... and people who'd be into pop tart icecream sandwiches.

For promotional food photos, ice cream is often substituted with mashed potatoes. This is because due to the lighting fixtures, ice cream melts quite quickly and is difficult to work with.

In this case, since the ice cream is part of the actual product, the ice cream in the photo would have to be the actual article. It's usually in the case of something like cereal promotional photos where the milk isn't actually milk.
