@Nathan Teager: Haha, this made me smile. You're right. Give us your poor, your tired...and the occasional hungry millionaire.

What Is Superman Ice Cream?

Hey, just thought I'd drop in to say that Superman Ice cream is well represented down here in Georgia--at least at a few establishments here in Savannah. My little brother loves the stuff.

McDonald's Big Mac, The AHT Review

Ouch, harsh, guys. I mean, I like good, real food as much as the next person, but man, sometimes a sister just wants a Big Mac. I was kind of excited to see this review, as it looked like a step back from pretension, maybe even a justification of a guilty pleasure. But alack.
Ah well. The day I get to be such a "foodie" that I can't enjoy the occasional Big Mac is the day I hope to die.

In Videos: I Love Egg

Haha, I too have been subjecting my friends to this egg themed song, in random bursts, for several years now. I'll have to link them so I can finally prove I'm not alone.
Anyway, I've got to get my hands on those little egg figures!
As I always say, "Buy first, find-purpose-for later."

This wasn't a meal; it was a money laundering operation.

@Peensez: I guarantee you that Nello's didn't use $2-a-box pasta for the pasta specials.

I, too, am amused by all the outrage. A lot of people made a lot of money off this guy: isn't that a good thing?

What Is Superman Ice Cream?

I spotted this flavor offering at an ice cream store in Annapolis, MD. SUPERtasty, though that was the first time.

What Is Superman Ice Cream?

I love Superman Ice Cream and my boyfriend from New York thought it sounded disgusting. He went for a walk one time while in Michigan and stopped at Strohl's for an ice cream and decided to give Super Rainbow (named changed because of copyrights) a try and loved it. BTW Strohl's flavors are SUPER RAINBOW—Blue moon, red pop, and lemon ice creams swirled together. A gallon that I bought stated Blue moon, Banana, and Raspberry. So I think it depends on where you buy it and they do taste slightly different. Though I think the Blue moon is the key flavor and over powers the others a little, so the difference is not that noticable. I will post any other flavors I see posted on the ice creams. And for those who never had it you do not realize what you are missing.

Paula Deen's Food Lover's Cruise Set for January 2010

Goodness some of you people are just plain mean. Just because someone likes to cook doesn't mean that they are obese. It actually sounds more like jealousy which is an ugly facet to someone's personality. If you don't like where you are in life then do something to change it don't beat on others it only makes you look small. I am not fat but I would rather be fat than mean.

What Is Superman Ice Cream?

All of my friends in NC think I am absolutely CRAZY! There is a sweet shop in Boone/Blowing Rock (the mountains) that sells it and no matter what I have to have it when I visit there! I walked down the street when it was snowing with a waffle cone filled with it! I haven't lived in MI in years and nobody anywhere else I have been seems to know about it. My friends in NC also think it is disgusting- but they didn't like Faygo Redpop either so what do yhry know? Ha, they just don't have the refined taste buds that those of us who were born/lived in MI have :)

I'm from southern california and they used to sell it everywhere in the 1990s but I recently tried to find it but no one has it and there also used to be a loony tunes brand knock off of the superman icecream but I still can't find either

You can get Superman Ice Cream at Kilwins in Asheville, NC as well as Gatlinburg, TN. It is awesome. MY neice picked it out for herself - she is 4. When I saw it I knew I had to try it - I am 36. It was fantastic! This is my new favorite.

At summer camp in NY state (dutchess county) we had something that sounds pretty similar, but called it "CRAZY VANILLA". 20 years later, and an ocean away, I dream about it..

What Is Superman Ice Cream?

Growing up in Michigan, I almost always got superman ice cream when I had ice cream as a kid. There is something about the flavor and the visual appeal.

My tastes may have gravitated more towards chocolate in general now, however whenever I visit Michigan I always get a scoop of superman with a scoop of brownie nut fudge. I call it "The Tammy", named after a friend who was the first to try this daring (yet delicious!) combination.

mmmmmmmmmm superman ice-cream .... so good.... my mom would cringe when ever I ordered it because she knew she would have to deal with blue stained clothes and blue stained children.....

Boy I just got a craving for some after reading this..... time to go in search of some.....

What Is Superman Ice Cream?

I didn't realize that Superman icecream was just a Michigan thing. I grew up in metro Detroit and I just asked my husband (a native Pennsylvanian) if he had ever heard of it. A resounding "no" (along with a "that sounds really gross!) He sure missed out!

@ kimonkey- Im pretty sure they have purple cows still. I have not eaten there, but in the Meijers near my house there is a little ice cream shop called Purple Cow.

I feel sorry for the people who have never had the luxury of eating superman.

Columbus, OH had the Superman stuff, too. My little brother loved it. It tasted like a berry-flavored bubble gum and was so injected with food coloring, I'm sure it would turn any body part it came in contact with blue for the rest of the day. My Mom was a saint for allowing my brother to get it.

Being from the East Coast, I have never heard of Superman Ice Cream but it sounds tempting. Does anyone know if they make Superman Ice Cream Cake? I think that may be a good combination.

I am from Alpena Michigan and now live in southern Nevada. I tell everyone about superman ice cream and they all think Im nuts! I can't believe it is so hard to find out here. I haven't had any luck so far...

In Videos: Paula Deen's Fried Mac and Cheese Bacon Bites

Man, there's some serious hatin' going on here. I personally think the idea of deep-fried mac and cheese is astoundingly awesome. I am all about the occasional over the top snacking. And yeah, her expression 14 seconds in says it all.

Paula Deen's Food Lover's Cruise Set for January 2010

I guess the writer of this post assumes only people with white or pale skin would be interested in this cruise. I could never look "white" at the beginning or end of a cruise. While I'm perfectly happy with my skin color, I see a problem in assuming everyone on a cruise or this particular cruise is White.

In Videos: Paula Deen's Fried Mac and Cheese Bacon Bites

has anyone noticed how much thinner Paula looks lately? Maybe she finally has to watch her fat intake! I for one won't be eating fried lasagna, deep fried mac&cheese, fried butter balls or any of her other heart stopping recipes but she is a fun lady to watch and an animal lover. I just hope she doesn't feed this food to her dogs, it might be considered animal cruelity.

Definitely over the top but i've had John Fleer's fried mac and cheese and it was divine... not greasy...beautiful.
