'Stranger Things' ice cream is coming to Baskin-Robbins in June



#StrangersThings #IceCream

 #Baskin-Robbins is launching several “Stranger Things”-inspired ice cream flavors and sweet treats in June.

 Season 3 of the Netflix show will be released on July 4.

 The two new flavors the Canton, Massachusetts-based chain is unveiling are Eleven’s Heaven, waffle cone-flavored ice cream with chocolate-coated sugar cone pieces and a chocolate-icing-flavored ribbon, and Upside Down Pralines, chocolate ice cream with praline pecans and a chocolate-caramel flavored ribbon.

 For those unfamiliar, Eleven is the name of one of the key characters on "Stranger Things," and the Upside Down is an alternate dimension.

 Baskin-Robbins and Netflix are also partnering to create a Scoops Ahoy ice-cream truck, a reference to the ice cream parlor that's on the show. It will serve fans on the West Coast in June.
Baskin-Robbins' other "Stranger Things" tie-ins include:
  • Upside Down Sundae — a sundae made with Upside Down Pralines, but built upside down with the toppings on the bottom

  • Demogorgon Sundae — a waffle bowl sundae that looks like a Demogorgon monster

  • Byers’ House Lights Polar Pizza Ice Cream Treat — a chocolate chip Polar Pizza crust with Snickers ice cream, topped with strings of fudge and M&Ms Christmas lights, a reference to the lights hung up in the Byers' home on the show

  • Elevenade Freeze — a drink made with vanilla ice cream and Minute Maid lemonade
"When Netflix originally approached us about a partnership, we immediately recognized a number of fantastic synergies between Baskin-Robbins and 'Stranger Things,' including the fact that Steve Harrington was going to have a summer job at an ice cream shop," Dave Nagel, senior director of consumer engagement at Baskin-Robbins, said, referring one of the show protagonists.

 The ice-cream chain also will sell exclusive "Stranger Things" merchandise, like a Steve Funko figure, 1980s-inspired magnets and sticker sets and Stranger Things t-shirts. And fresh-packed ice cream will be sold in four limited-edition take-home containers with show-related designs.

 The company said it's teamed with TV shows in the past, including "Seinfeld," "The Price is Right" and "The Steve Allen Show."

 Baskin-Robbins isn't the only brand to join forces with the popular Netflix series. Last week, Coca-Cola announced that it was bringing New Coke back as a tie-in with “Stranger Things" and earlier this month, Lego unveiled an Upside Down-inspired Lego set.

A Brief History of Skittles - Taste the rainbow

#Candy #Skittles #TastetheRainbow The candy that we are so familiar with today first came into existence in 1974. Skittles spent the first five years of their lives solely in Britain since it wasn’t until 1979 that North America got a chance to taste  the  rainbow. There is much speculation surrounding the creator of Skittles, as nobody really knows exactly who first made them. One story suggests that a British man named Mr. Skittles looked at a rainbow one day and wondered how it would taste. Other sources state that the Wrigley Company, founded in 1891, created candy and other confectionery, including Extra chewing gum. However, although Wrigley produces Skittles today, it is widely accepted that an unknown British company was the original manufacturer. After three years of being imported to North America from the UK, Skittles started being manufactured in the US and Britain. There were very few flavors compared to the varieties available today. Consumers enjoyed gra...

Celebrate Christmas with the Top 15 greatest films

  #ItsaWonderfulLife #Elf  #AChristmasStory #xmas A great Christmas movie will not only make the grade for the test of time, but it can become a beloved part of a person’s life. Ask 15 people which is their favorite holiday film, and you may get 15 different titles. Our photo gallery focuses on the 15 titles we believe are the best of all time. Scroll through the gallery, read our descriptions, and debate with us the order, ranked best to worst, and which ones you think are missing. Our list is led off by the Frank Capra classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” starring James Stewart, a film that was deemed a box office bomb when it was first released. It was the relentless airings on television over the past few decades that made it a favorite for many families. Stewart is also featured in the lesser-known but still wonderful “The Shop Around the Corner.” While that movie is uplifting, other funnier flicks that made our cut are “A Christmas Story,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas...
