Im leaving for two weeks in germany on saturaday and the week I get back will be thanksgiving so I wont be for some time... sometime in december might be a good time for me to take a crack at 15-20k
 
Gonna attempt 10k for the first time myself in a few weeks :)
Hitting that mark will be a big achievement for me :-P and a good start on the road to that 15/20k challenge ;)

Haha I eat 10k calories of pizza in one meal every few months with an additional ~2000 kcal of food throughout the day.

I am pretty certain I have come close or exceeded 15k during past cheats with mkretz but we were not diligent about calculating it and recording it.

But think we may do that this weekend and see what happens.

Will there be ice cream?!?! That's laughable!!!

Try donuts, cookies, ice cream, cakes to follow burritos, burgers, pasta, meats et al washed down with non-protein shakes

Plus, I don't really trust reviews on BB ha. There are positive reviews of Salted Caramel on Yelp (4 & 5s out of 5). Expand your review sources brah. ;)

5 people on Instagram
+ a guy that lives right at Ample hills.
ill take 8 reviews that are not that great and pass on it.
Not worth the risk.

You said the same thing about that girl who did her first review on cotton candy from walmart and you bought it and then were highly disappointed. to each their own.

I never said highly disappointed ... I actually did like it and well worth $3. However, my comment was the review was way off - not an A

Most of those people don't review Ice creams often. Once in a lifetime maybe. Just like when the girl let you down on her review which was way off.. Ill take someones advice or sources who reviews ice creams often or more than once. Again personal preference with lots of bad reviews

I just hope you don't have buyers remorse for the decision.

for example:
"Before I ordered the Salted crack caramel they advised me to sample it, because some find it too salty. I like a LOT of salt in my caramel so this was perfect for me,"

a big problem a lot of people have with Salted Caramel Core from B&J. For you it may strike gold, when a lot of negativity arises it makes me raise an eyebrow

Fair comments...Initially I thought the Salted Crack Caramel sounded great based on the description on the site but was actually going to pass after you told me about the negative reviews. But what changed my mind was in the PBI YT review he said "if you like the taste of burnt caramel try this". I am not sure if he was being sarcastic, but I thought of crème brulee and decided to get it lol.
 
New Orleans Ice Cream Co. Po'Boy Ice Cream Sandwich

Invalid Link Removed

Overall the only other Chocolate Cookies I have had for ice cream sandwiches are: Jeni's Chocolate Truffle Backyard Mint Sandwich, Coolhaus I'm Pei-Nut Butter, Coolhaus SnickerDoodle and Coolhaus Mintimalism.

Cookie wise these cookies are as soft as Coolhaus, but do not offer the milk chocolate coating which is where NO Ice Cream gets the upper edge. Jeni's chocolate cookies are not as soft as Coolhaus or NO Ice Cream Company, but hold a very strong chocolate taste to them. If i were to invest in one cookie it would be the Creole Cream Cheese cookie.

How NO Ice Cream Company has perfected the creole creme cheese (as one of their top selling flavors) on top of a dense chocolate coated cookie makes it the perfect ice cream sandwich. Each Cookie was not meant to be healthy as the owner Adrian said, but pack 260-290 calories in each serving (2 Servings a Sandwich) ((Creole being a bit heavier in calories)). For the calories there is a reason why they pack so much flavor!

Grade: A (Creole Cream Cheese), B (Vanilla Bean)

I am glad you got a flavor they don't sell
They probably mean pumpkin ripple which is their regular pumpkin offering. My brothers wife was an employee for them and that is their standard pumpkin which is pumpkin ripple

Invalid Link Removed

^^ For example read the menu
Sometimes they shorten what the flavors name is on the top of the pint

Tin lizzy they wrote TL
Graham Central Station GCC
CCCD for CCCD
HH for Handels Halftime
They wrote Pumpkin for Pumpkin Ripple on mine

etc..

Pecan is their spin off and exclusive flavor
Or else their webpage is false advertising and you could sue them lol
