Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I love the idea of walking in, leaning close to the banana flavor, and turning around and walking out because its too yellow.

Here's another fun one: frozen custard is like ice cream but has eggs in it! It really adds to the fullness of the frozen treat

Gelateria Dondoli in San Gimignano is amazing. They are very proud of being a gelato "world champion", which honestly made me a bit skeptical, but it was delicious.

I’ll still hit that fluorescent any day but now I’ve got some cool trivia to impress my mates with. Thanks.

Pro tip, if you're in Europe but not in Italy, any place that calls it gelato is a tourist trap

TIL every single ice cream shop in Sicily selling ice cream at 50c a scoop is a tourist trap.
