Dipping Dots

[MRKW]

Just returned form Florida has any body tried Dipping Dots ICE CReam, ice cream made to look like, wait for it, DOTS!!![]

Kids loved it, on the 192 has an outlet that does all the flavours you can think of, even try before you buy! small, medium, large & BUCKET size portion

Also available in some of the parks

Wonder if they will get over here!! could be a good franchise idea?

We tried them at the Tampa Bay Aquarium last year, both my daughter and I really liked them but hubbie said they'd never beat Mr. Whippy in his eyes. I'm sure they'll be appearing in all the parks and cinemas soon, can't wait and with al the different flavours we should never get bored of them.

They sound very similar to something we had at the Kennedy Space Center in what must have been 1995 or 1996 only then it was called space dots ice cream! They only had vanilla then but it was pretty tasty as I remember and great novelty value!

You can get them in Iceland but it is under a different name. My girls adore these and make a beeline for the counters wherever they are!

Fiona is that the shop or country? If it's the shop guess where I'll be tomorrow?

They sell them already at IOA. We bought them from a vendor while waiting for the Sinbad show.

Shop of course Steph!! I'll ask Pips what they are called when I pick her up later on this afternoon.

Thanks Fiona
Although chances are our branch won't have them as it's not very big and I'm sure I'd have spotted them if they do them. Ice cream and chocolate are 2 sections I don't mind browsing round.

My experts say they are called Space Dots and are not as good as dipping dots

I have no idea if this is the same thing ("ice cream made to look like, wait for it, DOTS!!!" isn't very descriptive), but you can get "Spotty Dogs" Ic ecream (choc dots in Vanilla) and "Muddy Pigs" (pink chocolate pigs in chocolate ice cream) here in the UK
