    New Ice Cream Flavor

    In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has issued a new flavor, "Barocky Road."

    Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

    The cost is $100.00 per scoop. When purchased, it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you.

    Thus you are left with an empty wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any ice cream. The idea, of course, is to make you feel stimulated.

    You're right. The analogy is too real to be funny.

    Ahh yes... the sweet smell of questionably legal (odd, given that they're) plants...

    I gave up on OP's post when I realised it was political rather than just shenanigans and tomfoolery.

    You may be right. What fascinated me about this tidbit is that there is a small punch line in each paragraph. That makes it a rare bird.
