  Well, I don’t like having Reece’s peanut butter cups in my ice cream, so I wouldn’t get that.

  I think what you may not be considering is the ongoing shrinkflation happening at restaurants.

  I used to get the “Super Sundae” at Friendly’s. It’s served in a fishbowl style dish. They used to fill it with ice cream past the top of the bowl, with toppings including whipped cream above that. The last time I was there, the top of the whipped cream didn’t reach the top of the bowl.

  (it doesn’t look like this anymore)

  In answer to your question, having home made ice cream at home, I’m having 4-5 large scoops.

  I’m not going to reach the end of my life wishing I had eaten more ice cream.

    Well then I guess your one self-reported anecdotal datum proves me wrong. Carry on.

      Well then I guess thank you for conceding the point that I know more about the food I make than you do.

    Wasn’t that called a Jim Dandy?

      The Jim Dandy is a banana split made in the super sundae bowl. The one pictured is a Reese’s Pieces super sundae.

      Reese’s pieces, vanilla ice cream, peanut butter and marshmallow sauce, whipped cream and a cherry.

      If I’m remembering correctly, the super sundae was originally supposed to be five scoops of ice cream.

      I suppose it still could be, but maybe their scoops are shrinking.
