Ugh. Neither of those two come close to Graeter's Ice Cream! I think BR tastes like its cream has been frozen and thawed about fifty times over. DQ, at least here, seems to specialize in the soft serve stuff (as well as shake things and scary food) more than ice cream.
Coldstone IS good, but, the price is ridiculous, as is the stupid, loud, greeting. WHY does anyone think being screamed at the moment you walk into a door is good business practice? Sheesh.
Dairy Queen!! There is one really close to my house. :D
I don't think I've ever seen a Baskin Robbins before, but I've heard of it.
Both are ok, but nothing beats paradise island ice cream. So many flavors and they have the real thing, not soft serve like dairy queen. I like strawberry cheesecake ice cream. I like snobiz too. I hate coldstone, only three flavors and 16 add ins but it costs an arm and a leg for one scoop. No thank you, I'll pay my three bucks at paradise for a cone the size of my head. The opposite of coldstones melted mess is dip'n dots, which I dislike also. The dots were so cold I couldn't taste any of the flavoring at first, and when I did it tasted like dental flouride, ick.
Why would do they do? They scream at you? I've never heard them scream here.Quote:

I said other. I have boycott BR ever since I was given old icecream from there. We don't have too many DQ around us. I prefer the local ice cream stores.
It's a little frozen custard place in Michigan. I never had frozen custard till I moved out there. There ain't nothing like it on this side of the planet!!
DQ?? Blech!!
Basking Robbins?? Blech!!
around here we do not have a Local Dairy Queen, or Baskin Robbins. Our local I ce cream eatery is Jone's Humdinger!! I love it!
This is the 'standard' Coldstone greeting. This is what they go over in training...so, maybe the word 'screaming' is a little over the top, BUT, they are loud, and 'in your face' with the greeting, as they are trained to do. It isn't just Coldstone....I know a national coffee house that has instructions to their staff to 'greet' the person entering the store within a certain number of feet....so, if you do the math, with a counter 20 feet away, the greeting is somewhat loud by necessity to carry and cross the distance.Quote:

Never tried Baskin Robbins. I really like Dairy Queen, though!
I had DQ today ^^
Well, I don't go that much anyway because of the prices. Coldstone is priced to high for me. I could just go to any supermarket and buy a carton of Ice Cream for way cheaper then I would pay for 4 dishes of ice cream at ColdStone.Quote:
