I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Atherosclerosis

Or
End of the Rocky Road

Or
I am 31 Flavors and Dead Some
(Props to Phil)
Ice cream aficionado Irv Robbins, of Baskin and fame, has died at the age of 90. The mathematically challenged duo broke out of the traditional ice cream mold by launching stores boasting 31 flavors – one for every day of the month, as long as you don’t count vanilla, chocolate and strawberry as flavors. Instead, they count things like Daiquiri Ice, Pink Bubblegum, Cocoa a Go-Go, Candi-date and Here Comes the Fudge. Over the years, Robbins developed more than 1,000 flavors, sometimes at the drop of the hat – in 1964, a New York Post reporter eager for a scoop asked what they were going to introduce to celebrate The Beatles’ appearance on TV. Without missing a beat, Robbins said Beatlenut, then scrambled to find an unnamed flavor with nuts, and within 2 days it was in all the 650 Baskin-Robbins stores nationwide. There are now 5800 stores around the world. Ironically, the Jamocha fell far from the tree, as Robbins’ son is an author of best-selling diet books and is an avid vegan.
