Tubalicious ice cream...

So back in the day, for those (like myself) who don’t remember, Thrifty Drugstores (now Rite Aid) were the bastions of all things ice creamy. Think of the counters filled with beskirted girls and rough and tumble boys sipping root beer floats and living their Norman Rockwell-ian lives.

Back in those days, if you were to order an ice cream, they would grab a special little device that looks like some kind of food safe (and mostly harmless) weaponry, stab it into those giant cardboard tubs, and then spit it out into a cylindrical form atop (and somewhat into) a cone.

Now they just use a regular old scoop (and yes, they still have Thrifty ice cream stations in many Rite Aids).

Ahh the good ol’ days.

Well, thanks to our friend @mylastbite and the Warm Olives and Cool Cocktails blog, we have found a new device that will do the same for us – at home. She also says it can be used for cutting cookies, filo dough and other “snacks” into cylindrical form.

I suspect we could do some cool molecular gastronomy with it…
