A tale of two ice creamies

A few weeks ago on the Colbert Report, Steven Colbert and Jimmy Fallon had a showdown about their ice creams. Steven Colbert's is Steven Colbert's Americone Dream. A wonderful blend of "Vanilla Ice Cream with Fudge Covered Waffle Cone Pieces & a Caramel Swirl."

Jimmy Fallon's is called the Late Night Snack. On the container it says, "Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with a Salty Caramel Swirl & Fudge Covered Potato Chip Clusters."
Now I realize that this is a stunt to get people to buy their flavors. Well it worked on me. I went out and looked for them both. I found Americone Dream first and was unable to get my hands on Late Night Snack. I loved the waffle cone bits covered in chocolate! The ice cream mixed so well together it surprised me. It did take me five days to eat one pint of it since ice cream hurts my teeth if I eat too fast.
I set out to find Late Night Snack and lo, it twas nowhere to be found. I really wanted to taste the salty sweet mixture, I figured it would be like dipping french fries in frosty's. I ended up searching for about a month. Every time I passed ice cream I casually glanced through the flavors hoping to find the sweet and salty dairy delight. And every time I went home creamless and guilty because I felt like I was cheating on Colbert. I mean I think he wouldn't mind if I ate Jimmy's flavor but, you never know and what if I meet him. He could ask me how much I love him and if I ate his ice cream. I would reply yes, I eat it and love it above the other flavors, even Cherry Garcia Fro-Yo. (That is quite a compliment). But then the question of loyalty would come up and I would be unable to deflect those soul searching eyes and the truth stating mouth.
I do not know how he would react but I finally found Fallon's flavor and I must admit, it is pretty good! Salty and sweet are fun together. Maybe this salty old sea dog, (Me of course), will find a sweet lady to compliment him one day. That would be nice. After I found her, would I still have the anxiety of facing Steven Colbert. I have not seriously tried to pursue his favor or hand in some kind of union. I guess I will just cross that bridge when I come to it.
