My lovely man LOVES his ice cream. Every day, after his lunch, there is always, always room for a bowl of ice cream.
The only exception to this habit, is if he has a chocolate milkshake.. Which is, mostly ice cream.
On any number of occasions, he has smacked his lips, sighed with contentment and advised me that he could quite happily live on ice cream and beer.
We all need something to live for hey?
Anyway… I bought him a box of six ‘Big Deal Mint Crunch’ ice cream on a stick. Like Magnums I guess.
He didn’t notice them for a few days, and then I asked him if he’d tried them yet and what were they like.
Well, apparently 5 star. Happiness.
So I tried one, and yes, very nice.
Some time later he said… Are these big deal ice creams more expensive than ice cream in a tub, because I don’t mind, if it’s easier, if you only get those.
I think they are more expensive I advised.
Well, he said, let’s do the maths, but I suppose we’ll have to factor it in if you are going to eat them too. How many a week do you think you’ll have?
Darling, I announced, they are 5 times more expensive per ml of ice cream.
Oh, he said, that’s not too bad then is it?
