Klondite? Condight?

Klondike bar. Named for the Klondike region (Canada? or maybe Alaska?). Anyway, gold rush back about a hundred years ago.

A Klondike bar is a square of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate that gives it a thin flaky chocolate crust.

And they are yummy!

Darn you far westerners!!! You got faygo... Twinkies... Burgers the size of plates.... Pizza's the size of my car's alloys..... Klondike bars... Lucky charms... The list goes on... :( Someone give me a freaking green card...
 
LOL- I think it's more an over-abundance of TV and video games (no exercise) combined with portions that are 3x too big.

I eat Twinkies and Klondike bars on occasion. It's all good unless you eat like a package of them every day or fail to ever leave the couch. :D

Personally, I don't find either of them that amazing. Do you guys have Coldstone Creamery in the UK? I think it is a uniquely US thing, but I'm not sure. Now THAT is ice cream worth chowing on. US foodways, if you took away the food we get from other countries, are pretty awful. Bland, big portions. But ice cream-- that we can do.
 
Coldstone Creamery is this place with an assortment of home-made type ice creams- all basic flavors. You know- vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, but some odd ones too- coffee, cake batter, cookie dough.

They have nothing in them- just ice cream.

Then there is this huge counter where you can add almost anything to the icecream. Candy of various sorts, fruit, brownies, whatever.

They mix the toppings in with the ice cream on a cold marble counter and voila- very yummy ice cream.

My favs:
Cookie dough batter ice cream with brownies
Sweet cream ice cream with blackberries.

Yum.

That sounds just like Langage a farm that prides itself on dairy products.

Here's all the information you'd want (link added with the information):
Klondike® Frozen Novelties - Multipack, Single Serve, Dietary Preferences, Store Locator, History, Search

I find it easier than trying to explain all the different products they have. :eek:

If you don't have Klondike bars in the UK, what tipped you off and made you ask about them?

Faygo? If you mean the soft drinks, they are not as widespread and popular as you might think.

As for the rest, you forgot: ulcers; obese kids; slavery to credit cards; behemoth automobiles at a time when fuel prices are sky-rocketing; having to choose between paying the mortgage, fuel for the car and heating, medicine, and food (and the paycheck only covers one, and you get to choose which you must do without); government altruism abroad while wondering why the potholes big enough to swallow large autos go unfixed; diabetes and anemia from a diet rich in unwholesome foods (see list above); ingrained cultural arrogance that demands other cultures and nations "speak English;" befuddled confusion when other nations resist this idea of "speak English;" a "have our cake and eat it too" attitude; a perennial hope that "this time things will be different" while knowing deep inside that *all* politicians tell us what we want to hear rather than what they really think and plan to do; and a "can do" spirit in spite of all of this. :D
 
Lets not forget the "speak the right English" (forget Queen's English, it has to be American English, preferably with a 'Midwestern accent'), type-II diabetes showing up in children and adolescents when it used to be strictly an adult-onset illness, too many companies outsourcing to other countries (like China, India, Taiwan, Mexico, etc.), younger and younger violent criminals, massive foreclosures, people with worthless degrees flipping burgers at the local burger chain or begging ...

Sorry about this. :(

Homeless vets (something like 60% of the homeless I meet are vets), homeless mentally ill or disabled people (something like another 30% of the homeless I meet), a horrible education system that spits out people I get to try to teach how to critically read and write at age 18, a culture that sees it fit to pay athletes and movie stars millions while they pay childcare workers minimum wage, doctors that ask you what your insurance will cover before they prescribe your medications, a nearly total lack of quality affordable dental care, an odd affinity for wasting water by having giant tracts of manicured lawn (even in the desert)...

but yeah, we do have Twinkies. Yay, us. :eek:

In seriousness, there are some great things about some parts of the States. Small town hospitality is one of these wonderful things... though I strongly suspect that is common to most small towns everywhere and is not a US phenomenon.

I know it isn't that widespread but it doesn't change the fact you have it.... It is holy water bottled and in many flavours..... Divine.....

Oh I can tell you stories.... I can tell you stories of credit card debts.... lol....
