The Quest for Meaning and Ice Cream

The quest for a good scoop and a good story.

711 $2 pints October 19, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — icecreamquest @ 4:22 pm

I live above a 711.  I know what you’re thinking – wow, what a lucky gal.  And you’re right.  I am lucky.  My real estate features unparalleled access to Go Go Taquitos - such convenience, health, and nutrition is the stuff of dreams.

Recently, this hot piece of real estate became even hotter, when 711 unveiled its $2 pints.  Since these are in the freezer next to the $5 Ben and Jerry’s pints, it was a wise move on their part.  A recent batch of apple crisp begged for a budget-friendly counterpart. The time was ripe to purchase a $2 pint and put Sev-Elev’s marketing to the test.

It was delicious!  I don’t even like vanilla all that much, but the ice cream had a great creamy flavor and a decent consistency.  No ice.  No grittiness, or styrofoam-y ness.  It reminded me a bit of Brigham’s, to be honest.  Real estate prices are soaring above 711s nationwide.
