At the strange little ice cream shop down the street.
"Do you have birthday cake ice cream?"
"No! It's winter."
"???"
"We only have that one in the summer, you know, birthday season."Birthday Season?
Has anyone ever heard of this?
@futurebird They may have just exposed themselves as an alien species with a limited breeding season.

Though Carvel is pretty strange even when they are a legit branch. My husband showed me some of their old commercials and I was surprised they put that to TV. Creepy stuff.

With this shop... that would make sense.
They have a bunch of strange rules:
* cash only!
* you can only taste flavors AFTER paying for a cone
* they have milkshakes but won't put them on the menu and act like they are secret?And their hours are just... IDK. I went in since I just go in there when I see they are open.
Sometimes they just have two flavors, sometimes ten.

what does tasting flavors mean?do they just give a tiny bit of the ice cream? never seen that being a thing

Yes, February had 84% as many births as August in the USA in 2023 (compared to 90% as you'd expect from the number of days alone). So it's a noticeable effect, but hardly a dramatic one. We still have plenty of winter birthdays!

Most ice cream shops will give you a little spoon or wooden stick with a taste of a flavor to help you make up your mind.
I thought that was the whole point of having a "parlor" and not just going to buy a pint.

Oddly enough, "birthday season" is real, and spans late summer to early fall

(for those who don't wanna count it back, that puts "fuckin' season" in late fall to early winter, ie holiday season) -

OK. except it's really really good. They make it fresh and only take cash.

@futurebird Teachers get summers off, maternity hospitals get winters off.

I bet if you go back by there tomorrow, the shop will be gone, because the moon has moved to the wrong phase, or something.

@futurebird @tthbaltazar @mcc wow. Never have I encountered a shop that allowed tasting flavors without buying.

@bryan it was ok. Lentils were a bit overcooked and not exactly the right texture for the task, but as a platform for leftover curry it was fine. I won't be making it a habit but it wasn't bad. Lentils can remain an ingredient for dal and not a replacement for rice.

More from the “what happens when you vote in a right wing government” department. Unemployment has skyrocketed in Finland, aided by massive and badly timed (procyclical) cuts that demolished domestic consumption, and is now the highest of all OECD countries.
