'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.

How shutting down your feelings can be disastrous to your relationship.

  #Emotions #HealthyRelationships #Communication Research has shown that suppressing your emotions pretty well shuts down communication within that relationship. Let's chat about what the findings from one study might mean for your relationship. James Gross, a scientist who studies emotion, found that when we try to suppress emotion, this is what happens: • It's very hard to do - basically it doesn't work. We have to work very hard to shut an emotion down once it is up and running, and in the process, we often get more agitated and tense. This is especially true in close relationships when the trigger for the emotion, the other person, is still there giving us signals that get us all fired up. • Emotion doesn't stay inside our skin. When we try to shut feelings off, the people we are relating to also get more and more tense. When we are denying our feelings, our partners probably get tense because our faces register our feelings way faster than the thinking part of the ...

Alan Alda: Build empathy. Monitor your relationships.

#Empathy #AlanAlda  #BigThinkEdge  #Communication  Empathy is a superpower for connecting and communicating with others, but it can be surprisingly fragile. Even a bad mood or preoccupied mind can easily close us off to the people – even the ones we're closest to, let alone to colleagues or strangers on the daily commute. Noticing this, Alan Alda wondered what exercises could help bulk up his "empathy muscle" regardless of shifting circumstances. An exercise he invented became the focus of a psychological study that discovered a way to significantly increase empathy. Alan Alda teaches "The Art and Science of Relating: Build and Monitor Empathy" for Big Think Edge. Empathy tends to evaporate when we don't practice it. At Big Think Edge, Alan Alda teaches an immediately actionable video lesson that will teach you exercises to significantly grow your capacity for empathy. Greater empathy is an asset whether you're looking to boost your c...
