Laurie brought home a new ice cream flavor: Dreyer’s Drumstick Sundae Cone. It has crunchy nuts and other chocolate bits. It’s not bad, but in no way does it remind me of an actual Drumstick, a confection of which I’m a big fan. (The mint flavor is my favorite, followed by Cookies and Cream.)

While I was eating it, I realized what they should have done. You know how the best part of the drumstick is the last inch of cone with the plug of solid chocolate in it? The Drumstick ice cream should have dozens of those in it.

I suggested this to Laurie, who is in charge of ice cream R&D for our family.

> **Laurie:** How would they get all the tips?

> **Me:** I don’t know, but there’d be a lot of unhappy kids.

It would be just like that Seinfeld episode where Mr. Lippman opens a muffin shop called Top of the Muffin to You!, only this ice cream flavor would be called Bottom of the Drumstick.
