I got bamboozeled!
Coming from CA, when I read "Sprinkles" I think sprinkles cupcakes, which started opening up ice cream shops around the country. So when my friend and I drove by and saw the sign, we had to go in. Upon walking in, it didnt look like sprinkles... so we asked the employee working the counter and she said, no they were no affliated with sprinkles cupcakes. Darn. But we saw all the wall decor and they were voted #1 ice cream in america by People magazine, so we had to try it, even though this contest happened over 10 years ago, lol.
I got one scoop of the toffee and my friend the krazy kake in waffle cones. This came out to almost $11, so that is a point in the negative for them. WAY overpriced for what you get. It wasn't a heaping, spilling over the top scoop, just a modest sized one, which, I guess, in the end worked out because that's all I wanted anyway.
The toffee was very sweet. I did get a sample of it, but when you get a whole scoop you get a lot more of the flavoring and I could barely stomach the sugar running through my body.
The waffle cone was a basic waffle cone, no fresh smell of cones being made wafting from the shop, nothing special.
The texture of the ice cream wasn't creamy and smooth either. It was more of an icey texture which I don't enjoy as much.
For being voted numero uno, I definitly think they did not live up to anywhere near their expectations. Granted, I did not try the flavor from which they were voted number 1, but still shouldn't their other flavors and textures be acceptable? I feel like I got tricked and ripped off!
