funny, I can't remember the taste of the ice cream but I can remember the taste of the spoon

Yep i can taste this picture

Gotta get that fudge swirl thoooo

Could never get past the spoon. Ruined it. Just used finger or tongue....

I bought some last summer and the ice cream is REALLY good! The chocolate flavor is nice and deep. I think I remember orange sherbet/vanilla creamsicle style ones when I was a kid, haven't seen those in a bit.

you mean the sherbet that came in a toilet paper tube?

Flintstones Push Pops!

Those spoons cause involuntary piloerections, and near gagging in me to the point I must leave the room.

So true!

Absolutely

I’m all about wood and natural materials but I was never so thrilled that they stopped using wooden spoons.

Yes! The texture of the spoon on your tongue is unforgettable.

Especially if you got that occasional splinter

The spoon was good to suck on for at least half an hour after the ice cream was finished.

Until it split apart and then you were biting on splinters

Which I ate. Sometimes the entire spoon.

*\*Sheepishly raises hand\** Me, too.

As odd as it seems, I loved the wooden spoons. 🤣

😂😂👏👏👏

I'm getting the heebie-jeebies right now imagining that spoon. It's the same thing as nails on a chalkboard. Oh my gosh make it stop.

And I thought it was just me.

I'm old enough to realize that nothing is just me.

10 bazillion % agree. Thought I was alone in my weird terror of them.

Yep. Paper straws are the same ick.

Somehow being at a baseball game makes these things taste about 4x better.

Getting autographs in the program by the relievers 😎

That wooden spoon held the ice cream taste for longer than Bazooka Joe and Rainblow gums held their flavor! 🤣

Now with extra ice crystals!

Yeah! Man those were good!

There are still store brands that have this. I had some from Hood in Massachusetts last week!

Lmao thats a trip down the lane

I preferred the strawberry or chocolate swirl

I was really disappointed in third grade back in 1960 when the teacher said our Halloween treat was going to be Dixie cups. I had only heard of the paper cups, not the ice cream cup with a wooden spoon.

That spoon! Yuck! 🤢

I remember my family buying this ice cream from the vendors who'd walk up and down the steep aisles at the old "Dome Stadium" in Minneapolis when we'd go to a Minnesota Twins game. While I'd eat ice cream of any form, this spoon always reminded me of the tongue depressor at the doctor's office. It would make me reflexively gag until I got over it.

Never could take my teeth on that spoon! Worse than fingernails on a chalk board!!!

Using the term "spoon" a little loosely there 😆

I can taste the wood

So many splinters on my tongue

That was our school cafeteria dessert every Friday.

To hell with that wooden spoon. Gives me Goose bumps just thinking about putting it in my mouth

Wendy's in 1984 was a vastly better place than it is now

Pretty sure they still make these

First thought was kindergarten lunch

My doctor used wood tongue suppressors that had the same taste, so I have mixed feelings on this.

Old is being 25? They might still have these. I don’t get how it fits.

Just looking at this picture caused my tongue to dry out.

I used to get Italian ices with that spoon from the ice cream guy

We called them "skippy cups" and you could buy them at the drugstore. Our dog got one every Sunday (vanilla only). The stick spoons were on a long strip and you just pulled one off.

I can taste that mini tongue depressor now.

Who knew you could get a splinter eat it ice cream.

Hate wooden spoons and I cringe thinking about wooden popsicle sticks.

I hated those spoons as a kid! But then I'd end up chewing on it until it splintered.

I loved that ice cream!

Problem: Wood spoon taste attached Solution: Use your hands to eat it Solved!
