Today I was forced to stand outside, waiting for my friends as they naively bought their Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Sadly, I now feel obliged to to tell the tale of Haagen-Dazs and its corruption.
It began only few months ago when a food obsessed girl spotted a sign advertising the Haagen-Dazs "create your own flavor" contest. Hit with a brilliant idea, she rushed to her local diner--dragging her boyfriend along--to film a witty video of her eating a warm Belgian waffle with caramelized pecans, vanilla bean ice cream, and maple syrup drizzled on top. This was destined to be her flavor inspiration and go on to win the title of 'best new flavor'. She called it Maple Waffle Swirl. After posting it on the competition board online, she returned to the website daily to scope out the competition. Lemon Bar Ice Cream? Wimpy. Peppermint stick? Already done. Rootbeer float? Too simple. Lillikoi Butter and Honey? Too intense. Maple Waffle Swirl? Perfect. Suitable for adults and children alike, fun yet classy, it was Haagen-Dazs personified. Then, one fateful day, she stumbled upon a new posting--"Blueberry Belgian Waffle" an ice cream creation posing as an original, when really, it was simply Maple Waffle Swirl plus blueberries. I was mad. I mean, she was mad. Obviously posted at a later date, Blueberry Belgian Waffle was clearly an impostor.
Fast forward to last week. The top 3 finalists were posted. Blueberry Belgian Waffle--nestled smugly between the Coco y Cacao and the Caramelized Pear & Toasted Pecans. I ask you, where is the justice in this ice cream filled world of ours? Perhaps these tragic series of events will force you to understand why I now must stand alone (outside of Haagen-Dazs).
