It’s Simple.

Everyone knows the summers in L.A. are hotter than Georgia asphalt. The sun glares down on you all day, with no sympathy and not even a hint of cloud coverage in sight. So to find some reprieve, I went to 7 Eleven (just a regular one, unfortunately— not a Kwik-E-Mart) for some ice cream yesterday, and came back with the two items pictured above. These two items are essential to staying cool. You don’t need air conditioning, a swimming pool, or even an ice cube being rolled all over your naked body (sorry, Rosie Perez). It’s simple— all you need is a bowl of Oatmeal Cookie Chunk and some Strawberry Syrup to go on top. Because it’s crazy delicious!

  • fuck the bowl. do it straight from the carton. i haven’t tried the strawberry syrup, but the oatmeal cookie chunk is a summer must. i must’ve gone through 3 pints already. did i mention i love ice cream. almost more than life itself, but that doesn’t really make sense if your life has ice cream in it.

  • Yeah! It’s so expensive though. And they don’t carry it at Superior, as you’re well aware, I’m sure ;) Superior does have that delicious cheapo “Strawberry Swirl” ice cream, though.

  • They sound so good, but in England we dont have oatmeal cookie chunk, or the magic of hersheys!

  • Really, complaining about the heat in LA. If your place doesn’t have air conditioning, maybe, but it’s still a million times worse up here.
