...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About Baskin Robbins ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Baskin Robbins is the world's largest chain of ice cream. Baskin Robbins was founded by Burton Baskin and Irvine Robbins. They have been providing ice cream for 62 years to more than 5,800 shops in 34 countries, proving how popular it really must be. Baskin Robbins is widely available at Cineworld cinemas and Millies Cookies. ~~~~~~~~ Flavours ~~~~~~~~ I absolutely love ice cream and apart from the nutty ones I have practically tried every flavour at Baskin Robbins, although I have my favourites I always like to try other flavours as well.

Advantages: Novelty value
Disadvantages: Taste

...You can tell summer is here, all the different types of ice cream are now available in the shops! I was walking around my local ASDA, and found these - all the ones I would normally have had gone :-( ** What are they? ** Asda Custard cream ice cream biscuits are just that – Ice creams that look exactly like custard creams. The box has six individually wrapped ice creams in. It seems to be a bit of a trend now, making ice creams in the style of well known other brands. I’m sure most people have eaten, or even seen custard cream biscuits; well these are the ice cream version, they look identical to the biscuits, but are about three times larger. ** What’s the pack like? ** So what do you get for £1.48? You get a box of six ice cream biscuits, weighing in at 220g. The box is blue, and has a picture of the ice creams... Read review

Advantages: Different to current ice creams on the market
Disadvantages: Just cause it says Cream Egg, doeant mean that is is.

...I love cream eggs, in fact I love them a bit too much. After easter I buy so many in the clearance sales that Im sick of them by the end of the day, then morning comes and the craving is back! Cream Eggs sell so well during easter that it makes sence for Cadburys to try and market their product throughout the year. The new Cream Egg Bar was OK, but not as nice as the egg. The Cream Egg ice cream tub was a nice treat but didnt really remind me of the cream egg. So when I was in my local Tesco and I spotted the cream Egg Ice Cream on a stick and thought Id give it a try. When I buy ice creams, I tend to buy chocolaty ones, mars ice cream or galaxy ice cream. Actually Mars or Galaxy is pretty much all I buy. So the chocolate covered ice cream really apealed to my taste buds. Biting into the chocolate was like biting... Read review

Advantages: Fresh, delectable ice cream made to order
Disadvantages: -

...I distinctly remember the first time I had shop-bought ice cream. It was vanilla, not my favourite flavour anyway, but in no other way seemed to bear any relation to what I knew to be ice cream. It was a soft, sugary, frothy, chemically paste, which almost made me retch. Luckily, I was a well dragged up little lad so I gritted my teeth and bore instead of throwing up and decrying this retched muck I was being served. (I believe it was actually this very same place where I first experienced the horrors of shop-bought bread and SHRIEK! margarine. The problem was, of course, that I was brought up pretty much on entirely home made food, cakes, ice cream, the works (even milk and cheese, as my mum kept goats), so I knew how things were supposed to taste, not how the cheap imitation stuff you can buy in shops taste.* The upshot of this...

...Baskin Robbins sell the most amazing, delicious ice-cream in an array of wonderful flavours. Most Baskin Robbins are joint with Millie's Cookies and probably nearly every town has got at least one! ***HISTORY*** Baskin Robbins was created by two brother in laws (Burton "Burt" Baskin and Irvine "Irv" Robbins) who dreamed of creating an innovative ice cream store. They both had a mutual love of old fashioned ice cream and the desire to provide customers a high variety of flavours. In 1945 a snowbird ice-cream shop was opened in California by Irv, which featured 21 flavours in his store. One Year later Burtons Ice Cream was opened by Burt in Pasadena, CA. By 1948 they both had 6 stores between them, which eventually grew into Baskin Robbins. In 1949, there were more than 40 stores in Southern California, which is when Burt and Irv... Read review
