Fitness Romance SagaTaste Test: Mrs. Fields Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
April 29th, 2009 • 6 Comments | Leave a Comment »
I’ll get right to the point. The Mrs. Fields Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich experiment was a complete fail, sort of like the garden I attempt to grow every spring that spawns weeds and flowery death.
It was Greedy Kid #1 that harassed me for three straight weeks until I finally broke down out of sheer irritation and allowed myself to be ripped off for $5.49. You don’t get bang for your buck with this ice cream. I can appreciate the concept of small ice cream sliders to cut back on calories, but can you please give me more than five miniature cookie sandwiches since they’re only two inches in diameter? They’re darn near kiwi-sized.
Combine the unsatisfying taste of “light” vanilla ice cream between two soft cookies infested with an overwhelming artificial flavor-fication, and you’ve got a taste that is
rude and almost inedible. I only took two bites before passing it off to one of the Greedy kids. Never mind that the Taste Test Crew raves about this ice cream. I officially exercise my authority to disqualify their opinions because Greedy kids would never tell you a vanilla cookie ice cream tastes bad.
I realize that these differences of Yum Yucky opinion may not help you decide whether or not to buy this Breyer’s product, but if you care to throw $5.49 to the wind for your own taste experiment, go for it.

Reactions from the Taste Test Crew
Health-hater Husband: How would I know what they taste like? The damn kids ate ‘em all.
Greedy Kid #1 – Hey, these are too small! I like that the cookie is soft and the chocolate chips aren’t hard, but the cookie doesn’t taste like Mrs. Fields. It tastes like Tollhouse. Can you buy more?
Greedy Kid #2: They make it look bigger than it is, and it’s not like a real Mrs. Fields cookie. Do you have any more?
Greedy Kid #3: Can I have more?
Yum Up! to: Real Mrs. Fields cookies that I buy at the mall.
Yuck Down! to: Flushing $5.49 down the toilet.

I was in the store to get oil and bread, well after filling up the cart with other “stuff” i was walking psss the ice cream section. I swear I gain weight just passing by that place and I saw the Mrs. Fields ice cookie deal and taught I might try it. To make a long story short they were slider size,and they were not that good. I would have been better off spending the extra money on a pint of blue bell and some frozen cookie dough from the diary section. Great blog.

I think the cookie sandwiches are so good. I’ve been purchasing them for the past couple weeks at the market since they are on sale and I think that taste a whole lot better than the Nestle Toll House ones. Im not a big chocolate cookie fan, but I love eating these from the freezer.
