Canadian Restaurant Serves Ice Cream Sandwiches on a VHS Tape | Eater
"On the shoreline in Gibsons, B.C., a contemporary-looking eatery is leaning into ’90s nostalgia by serving “ice cream sammiches” — strawberry gelato sandwiched between peanut-butter cookies — presented on cellophane-wrapped VHS copies of film classics such as The Bodyguard (1992) and Parenthood (1989). The gimmick has raised eyebrows and sparked social-media buzz; staff confirmed the item is a regular menu offering and one source joked it was “delicious and nutritious (don’t quote me on the nutritional value).” Reporters and diners are left wondering practical details — whether a local video store unloaded tapes, whether servers shrink-wrap the cassettes before service or during shifts, and whether customers must rewind before returning them — but the dish clearly signals a retro, attention-grabbing approach to dessert and plating." - Jenny G.
