I ought to be shot. I had three serves of ice cream today. They say that carbo-loading before a long-distance race is good, but even I have to concede that this is hardly a pretext for behaving like a pig. I did not even have to read the following article to know that ice cream contains too much fat to be of much use as a carbo-loading food:

Although it did provide me loads of useful information on how I should carbo-load for the up coming marathon.

I also discovered that Baskin Robbins is the most expensive ice cream, compared against Lecka-Lecka and New Zealand Ice Cream. Regrettably, I had to learn through the most painfully embarrassing means of not having enough money to pay for two miserable scoops of ice cream. Although, I will concede that BR does give pretty big scoops.

The hubby and I were wondering through Midvalley when we both decided we were a little peckish. I handed my ten dollar note to the hubby so he could get himself a KFC meal. Unfortunately, I forgot that all I had left was seven bucks. Now I have to suffer the snide remarks from the hubby every time he asks me if I have enough money. If I reply, “Yes,” he’ll ask, “What? You have more than seven bucks?”

I guess the rationale for choosing BR would have to be the exciting array of flavours they offer in their ice creams that surpasses all the other ice cream brands currently in Malaysia. Not only do they provide interesting flavours, but they also offer an assortment of textures in their ice cream that go beyond the norm.

The hubby prefers the taste of New Zealand Ice Cream because it is not as sweet and he finds the texture to be smoother. To my indiscriminate tongue, I did not perceive there to be any difference, though for two thirds the price of BR, I can deal with having less flavours to choose from and a slightly smaller scoop of ice cream.

Lecka-Lecka offers the softer texture of Italian ice cream, gelato. The milk-based flavours in gelato are not as rich in cream, providing a slightly healthier alternative to relieve a craving for an icy dessert. They also present a wider selection of fruity flavours which might be more appealing to the health-conscious.

Why the analysis? Well, I had to provide a legitimate excuse for stuffing my face since the carbo-loading defence was not justified.
