Ice Cream with a Bang

February 27th, 2012

The good people at Bang Ice Cream have a very sweet but important message for the ice cream lovers of the world.  Need a pick me up? Eat Bang.

Bang Ice Cream is the brain child of Dave Deadman and his dedicated team of caffeine heads at the Bang Headquaters in Madison Wisconsin.  The thought process is that whenever you need a caffeinated pick me up, you dont need to turn to the same old boring cup of  Joe. 

You dont need to slam down a little bottle of pick me up or a Red Monster drink. You should be able to enjoy a treat at the same time.

With four very unique flavors combined with the pick me up energy of a cup of coffee, why not add a little BANG to your afternoon.  Bang could be at your local ice cream shop or available to order online.  For more information of the Bang line, you can go there website www.bangicecream.com

 

Matsumoto Hawaiian Shave Ice

January 9th, 2012

As any good travel agent will tell you – there are a million ways to enjoy a tropical summers day on the island of Oahu.  You can take a swim in the crystal clear Pacific Ocean, shop in many of the local markets, but when it comes to cooling down – theres just one place to go. Matsumoto’s Shave Ice.

Its not in downtown Honululu either, so done think you can just ride a bike or hoof it down there, which is was makes the whole experience a little more special in my opinion.  The people who line up everyday for there ice cream, black bean, shave ice and condensed milk experience have made a special and concerted effort to be there.

And dont worry if you feel you wont be able take home a souvenier of your visit. Stan Matsumoto is the merchandise king. From shirts, swimmers, googles keyrings and dancing hulu girls – he’s got it all. In fact you would be forgiven in thinking that this place was a T Shirt shop with a little shave ice booth in the back.
