Baskin Robbins $0.31 Scoop Review.

ice cream... We went to Baskin Robbins' $0.31 scoop day about 2 weeks ago. It was deal we couldn't afford to miss. The deal ended at 10 pm that night, and we cut it close, going to the York Mills/Bayview Baskin Robbins at 9:30 pm. The place was LIVE, the lineup was miles deep, and by miles, I mean about 30 people in line. We took our spots at the end of the line and within 5 minutes a Baskin Robbins employee came out to tell us that noone else could line up, but everyone currently in line would recieve their super cheap ice cream. It felt like the whole community had come out to enjoy the night with some tasty ice cream. You can see in the pictures the lineup that formed outside of Baskin Robbins.
Although we were ensured by the store employee that we would receive our ice cream, we entered the store (after a 20 minute wait in line) with another dilemma... We didn't know which scoops to pick from the wide selection. There was a maximum of 3 scoops, so we felt like we had no choice but to get all 3 scoops, since it was so cheap and very seldom would any of us get 3 full scoops at regular price from Baskin Robbins. In addition to this, we all got waffle cones (I know... $1 extra, but so good!).
Ice Cream Scoop Selection:
  • Me (Hubert): Jamoca Almond Fudge, Gold Medal Ribbon and some cheescake flavour
  • Daniel (same guy who was in the 72 oz Steak Challenge): Apple Refreshment (mint + green apple sorbet), Cherry Jubilee and some Pecan/Caramel Flavour
  • Florence: raspberry cheese louise x 2

Comments on the Ice Cream by myself and 3 friends (Florence, Daniel, Hugh)
Hubert: "Jamoca Almond Fudge and Gold Medal Ribbons are popular flavours, and sooo good...soo chocolately..so nutty"
Daniel: "Apple Refreshment tastes mostly like mint not much apple, it was alright, not that great, other sorbets are better"
Florence: "Apple Refreshment tastes like toothpaste, bleh!"
Hubert: "Agreed, lots of toothpaste taste, but if you really like that kinda mint, its good"
Florence: "Raspberry Cheese Louise is the best! It has cheesecake bits in it and a raspberry ribbon swirl...and it is made of frozen yogurt, so it is a lower calorie option!"
Hugh: "I saw the lineup and I went to Rich Tree instead, should of listened to Hubert and waited =("
Overall, we all had a good time coming out to grab some cheap ice cream. It was a nice spring night and even though the lineup looked long, it wasn't that bad, as the taste of success was just that much sweeter when we recieved our icecream. As you can see in the picture, the three of us saluted Baskin Robbins by raising our ice creams!

Tip: When getting ice cream at Baskin Robbins, you should ask for a free sample of different ice creams, as they these samples are always available. They will give you a little spoon to taste the ice cream, and the size of the spoon is perfect for eating the icecream out of the cone (normal or waffle), especially when trying to isolate things like cheescake chunks.
