Now I can say it with pride. My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate mint! (Boom

Do you like back number?

I quite like them.

I especially like "Takane no Hanako-san."
I often sing it at karaoke, too.

There's just something about it, you know?
I don't know if it's a summer fling or what, but it's bittersweet, I guess.
Or maybe it's just sweet, sweet youth.

I especially like the lyrics towards the end.

Chocolate mint!!

I end up singing that far, and
I always get laughed at. Even though I'm singing it seriously.

That's how much I love chocolate mint.
No, I love chocolate mint ice cream! 🍨

My first encounter was
with "SEVENTEEN ICE."

That one from the vending machine.
Since it would melt towards the end, I used to eat it
while figuring out how not to let it drip.
The deliciousness was a shock to the system.
I was like, 'I never knew this existed!'

And then, a miraculous encounter
with "Baskin Robbins."

Commonly known as 31 Ice Cream.
Let's all call it "Baskin Robbins"!
I'll talk about that another time if I feel like it.
It was so delicious I just about burst.
Until Popping Shower came along, I swore a single-minded vow
that I wouldn't eat anything else.

Best value for money
is "Chateraise."

I can only say thank you.

A miracle of convenience
is "Convenience Store Ice Cream."

There are many delicious chocolate mint ice creams even recently.
But nothing surpasses this one!!
I wonder if they'll ever re-release it...

Chocolate mint ice creams like "Gari-Gari Kun" or "Black Thunder"
are delicious too, right!?

But... I want to eat it one more time. Please, Morinaga...

Honestly, I don't know how many times I've asked Morinaga about it.

But Morinaga is kind, you know.
They reply saying, 'We don't have chocolate mint, but as for Itachoco Ice,'
'it is sold here and here in your area,'
'so please feel free to use that...'

I know! Itachoco Ice is also delicious! It's delicious! I know that!
I've been eating it since I was little!
I consider it one of the four heavenly kings of crispy chocolate ice cream!!
But! But still!

I love chocolate mint.

I got a little too carried away, so I'll continue while enjoying
the Lawson ice cream "Japanese Fruits" series
that I have stocked in my freezer.

Recent trends

I never thought chocolate mint would become this popular 🤣
People used to say, "That's just toothpaste!" didn't they? 🪥

It was tough, wasn't it? You've been through a lot.
But there are people who truly appreciate you.
I'll keep supporting you! Chocolate mint!!

Just let me say one thing.
Why is it sold so much during this time of year... when I want it most in the middle of summer.

Does it melt easily?
It pushes a refreshing vibe to counter the heat, but
does it melt easily? Do you hate the heat?

The mystery only deepens...

In closing

I intended to write a light article
saying, "I love chocolate mint ice cream," which fits the season, but
I put a little too much passion into it.

Is there any ice cream you want to melt with your own passionate feelings?
I'm sure the hot days will continue this year as well.

Let's eat ice cream and get through it 🍨
