Tiger tail ice cream... obviously it's bad, but what exactly is it?
That's a good question.
As far as I understand, Tiger Tail ice cream is made up of an orange ice cream or sherbet base with ribbons of black goo that make the concoction resemble the coat of a tiger.
"So what exactly is so bad about it?" you ask. Well, here's the nasty part... that black goo... it's BLACK LICORICE FLAVOURED!!! Orange ice cream and black licorice?! What the hell were people thinking?
My first encounter with this ice cream was at Baskin Robbins in Toronto, Canada. I remember reading the card that described what flavour it was and vowing never to eat it. I guess other people did the same thing since I never remember seeing even a scoop taken out of the tub. Nasty, nasty stuff if you ask me.
I couldn't find any pictures of this ice cream atrocity on the web, but according to some ice cream distributor's websites the junk's still being made. Apparently SOMEONE likes it.
If you have access to this ice cream, please take a picture of it and send it to the email address below.
