The Double Header

So on a hot day this past week I strolled into my local ice cream parlor which is 31 Flavors Baskin Robbins. This is a chain ice cream vendor that we are all familiar with. I was about to just order my usual scoop when I noticed there was something new on the menu and I knew instantly that this item needed a full investigation pronto.

Ladies & Gentleman ... I present to you "The Double Header"


I had never thought about how to solve the sometimes tricky double scoop balancing act but after Baskin Robbins 57 years in business they have finally come up with a product that will help you balance both scoops of ice cream with out the possibility of losing a flavor to the ground.

After ordering the Double Header I made my way through the ice cream both soft serve and regular. Upon reaching the top of the cone I noticed that only 1 flavor will have access to the bottom of the cone. Im not sure if this was intentional or just not well thought out but wouldn't we all like to have the 2 melted flavors to meet at the bottom for those last wonderful bites?

Once the snack investigation was through I overall felt content with the Double Header and will give it 4 out of 5 stars for the idea, 1 star short because of the lack of dual drainage for the melted ice creams.
