I have invented the ice cream preference personality profile comprehensive index -- ICPPPCI.

It's a palindrome too! Cool.

Okay, here's how it works. You tell me your favorite ice cream flavor. Then tell me what toppings you would use on it to make it just right. Then, describe how you would eat it (let it get soft or race through it while the ice cream is still frozen?). Tell me about the bowl if that's important to you.

I will take all this information and, through the application of the ICPPPCI, will tell you all about yourself.


code:

and he's making it up as he goes along.

There is no connection to Hatrack, it's

personalities responsibly. Never examine
yourself and drive at the same time!

ICPPPCI says:

quote:

Coffee is the flavor of the intelligent but shy -- not showy. It is sophisticated, yet can pass for something far more pedestrian until closer inspection. Unmixed, the coffee flavor indicates a stern or aloof exterior, perhaps even bordering on a love of authority. Mixed with other flavors, these traits are often overcome.

quote:

Those who eschew toppings are purists. They see the world as one way or another. Often, they become frustrated by the nuances and games-playing they see in the world around them. But if you need a steadfast, solid supporter, the topping-less are the way to go. No-toppings people hope for an orderly life with a high degree of predictability. Even if they can't actually achieve it now, that is their idea of bliss.

quote:
A preference for the semi-soft indicates some ambivalence in the personal arena -- relationships, love life, family, etc. The person who prefers somewhat melted ice cream is one who wishes the people around him or her were a little less judgemental overall. This person is easily imposed upon but will generally hold her shape even when being pushed around. A good person to have around if you need some flexibility and someone who will reward firm commitment from others.

Mint chocolate chip
Hot fudge, peanuts and whipped cream
I would savor it, eating it quickly enough that it is still mostly frozen, but not so quickly as to get an ice cream headache or to devour it.
Those ice cream glasses are pretty, but I prefer mine in a plain bowl because its hard to get the ice cream out of the bottom of those glasses

Vanilla with caramel swirls.

No toppings.

Right out of the carton just melted enough so it's not rock hard.

mint chocolate chip

Baileys Irish cream

Stirred with a spoon so that it's more like a shake than anything else. That means that it's served in a small glass instead of a bowl.

Other important things: The ice cream has to be the green kind, not the white kind. Because I have named this delicious treat Irish Bliss, green mint chocolate chip ice cream just feels right. Also, there should be enough Baileys to add flavour to the ice cream, but not so much as to take away the green color.

Maybe a little bit of Hershey Chocolate Sauce on top

Frozen to Almost Frozen


Hmmm...I like most everything that Hagandaz sp? and Ben & Jerry's put out.

I'm getting a particular craving....

*believes in Kama*

Frozen yogurt chocolate-vanilla swirl, topped with small peanut-butter chips, served in a styrofoam bowl and eaten with a small plastic spoon. It's natural for it to be a bit melty right out of the machine. I'd try to save some of the PB chips for the last spoonful, and I always scrape the bottom of the bowl trying to get all the ice cream.

Chocolate chip cookie dough if it's Ben & Jerry's, otherwise chocolate or cinnamon, with fudge and Cocoa Crisps (cereal), and NEVER any whipped cream or nuts (I'll send it back!).

psst...judgmental only has one 'e'!

probably but anyway...

Ice Cream: 1 scoop peanut butter, one scoop strawberry cheesecake.

Toppings: Peanut butter sauce, Reeses peanut butter cup, Hot Fudge

In: a dish...i hate cones.

How I eat it: Medium pace, fast enough so that it dosn't melt but slow enough that I don't get a brain freeze. And i probably won't finish it. AND I'll probably be sick in a few hours. I'm lactose intolerant

Cherry Garcia.

No toppings necessary.

No melty!!

wafer cone. that's the kind with the flat bottom. yeah, I know, that's uncultured of me, but sugar cones leave a nasty taste in my mouth.

The ice cream and toppings that I would choose varies with my mood and what I had to eat before hand (if anything).

However, my current favorite is this Fannie May mint meltaway ice cream that Dean's makes. (It's green with dark fudgy-minty ribbons in it.)

I top it with dark chocolate syrup, and sometimes a cherry (or three).

I prefer to eat it while it's still hard, but I'm always sure to eat the melted stuff, too, and all of the syrup that's still on the bottom of the bowl.

The actual bowl itself doesn't matter much to me.

My favorite ice cream flavor changes from incident to incident. Currently, my favorite is One Sweet Whirled (Ben & Jerry's). But I am known to dig into a good mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, or cherry chocolate chip. Whipped cream is good (no toppings on Ben & Jerry's), and so are cherries and chocolate syrup.

Cookies 'N Dream (a kind of rice cream)
No toppings. But I'm a no condiments kind of guy in general.
Right out of the container (one less bowl to wash!)
Not so hard that it bends my spoon, not so soft that it's dribbly. More of a firm I guess. I eat it slowly, then realize I enjoy it and speed up unconsciously. Get an ice cream headache. Get frustrated with self. Put away. Come back in 5 minutes. Usually with same spoon. Rinse and repeat.

Sorry I can't get to all of these this morning, or probably even today.

I'll have to come back and give you all your personality assessments at a later time.

I hope you don't let the ice cream melt in the meantime. Unless of course you like it that way.

Vanilla ice cream.

Brown sugar, shredded coconut, and cornflakes.

Frozen, but not hard.

Glass or stoneware bowl..not plastic or paper.

No, NUTS do not belong on ice cream. Ice Cream is DESSERT. It is SWEET. Nuts are a SNACK. They should be SALTY. Many people are ALLERGIC. Nuts should stand ALONE, and not be placed ON ANYTHING.

WHIPPED CREAM has no FLAVOR. It takes space away from MORE ICE CREAM. Whipped cream should not be placed on ANYTHING. Except NAKED WOMEN.

COCOA CRISPIES, on the other hand, are also SWEET. They work WELL with ice cream. Unlike CHOCOLATE CHUNKS, you can still taste Cocoa Crispies when they are FROZEN and IMMERSED in ICE CREAM. They also add a DELIGHTFUL CRUNCHINESS.

DELIGHTFUL CRUNCHINESS, by the way, is a good name for a ROCK BAND.

Fav Flavour: coconut cream, the kind with some actual coconut cream mixed through. Yum!

Toppings: a cherry or a few pecans (but not both) on a little whipped cream

State for eating: Soft enough to not have to fight to get the spoon through, but not melted.

Bowl: small and deep, like a Japanese rice bowl

actually, icarus, salty and sweet work quite well together, whereas too much sweet, or the same kind of sweet, can be overwhelming or in fact make the dessert bland.

a few pecans on "dirty chocolate" (a rich dark chocolate icecream with lots of cocoa) is fabulous. the flavors are not similar, but very complimentary. (complementary? you know what i mean!)

Premium quality Vanilla

With hot chocolate, caramel, chopped peanuts (for that salty complement), and whipped cream.

In a chilled dish, eaten with savor but quickly enough so the ice cream isn't a soup when you get to the bottom.
