I don't like the cones in which soft ice cream is served. Waffle cones all the way

 

[Takuan]

Hard scoop - the harder, the better - but soft serve is good every now and then.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Depends on my mood. I don't think one is better than another, they're just different.

Spoiler

i prefer frozen custard

Now that stuff is good. I spoiled myself at Freddy's once and got one of their custard creations. Loved it. I need to try Culvers next

Hard. Something about soft doesn't hit all the right spots.

Is their custard good? I've only tried their italian ice.

 

[Judderman]

Don't fucking argue about ice cream, fucking hell. You people don't know how good you've got it. Out of all the fucking things to ruin with arguing you people are ruining ice cream, fucking ice cream oh my god like the best fucking thing in this world and you people are ruining it jesus christ i'm not a believer but fuck if y'all ain't sinners upon this holy earth, fucking arguing about the gift from the gods that is ice cream.

Goddamn.

John, you're good people.

 

[SuperSah]

Will say hard since you can hardly find soft serve in the UK anyways.

 

[SirCheese]

Hard scoop all the way. Soft serve is almost 50% air and I'm not paying for air.

 

[meijiko]

Generally hard scoop, and the more junk in it the better, but if I'm eating from a cone I prefer soft serve so I can lick it.

If I'm at Braum's, though, I get soft serve twist every time. That shit is a step above every other ice cream I've had.

I've never had their italian ice because I always get their custard!

 

[MogCakes]

1st post nailed it. Hard scoop for life!

 

[Chickadee]

I love both, but soft serve holds a special place for me since I can't have it at home.

Also soft serve in a root beer float is heavenly!!!

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Soft serve!!

 

[Hazmat]

Soft serve is better in a cone, but regular (hard?) ice cream is better in a bowl. The best of both worlds is either a waffle cone bowl with hard ice cream or a cone with it just plopped in a bowl.

 

[johnsmith]

Soft serve for me. There's a regional chain here called Arctic Circle (think Dairy Queen) that has the best soft serve in the world. I'm addicted to their cones.

 

[dbztrk]

Hard scoop for the Gelato.

 

[Sephzilla]

 

[InfiniteBento]

All ice cream is the best ice cream

 

[Cheat Code]

Soft serve doesn't bend spoons and is therefore objectively better.

 

[Dandy Lyin]

I love both, but hard scoop wins for sure.

 

[VanWinkle]

I like soft serve way better in a cone, and scoops way better in a bowl.

 

[aparisi2274]

Depends..

If I am in the mood for Choc/Vanilla, I get soft serve. If I am in the mood for Cookies and cream or cookie dough, I go hard scoop.


Damn... now I want ice cream

 

[Alphahawk]

I'll straight up confess that I was unaware that there was a difference. I always thought that "soft serve" was just an adjective that could be placed in front of any type of ice cream.

 

[Dennis]

This stuff is heavenly, though.

I need to get this.

 

[Rival]

I'm sorry I can't answer. It's too hard to choose.

 

[Alucrid]

yes it is. get a gelati for the best of both worlds. cherry + vanilla custard

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

[How About No]

HARD SCOOP. SOFT SERVE AS TOPPING.

COME AT ME.

Yo dawg...

 

[JoeyJungle]

There's a reason why there's no Soul Coughing song called Hard Scoop

Spoiler

actually there's not, I just like the song Soft Serve

 

[Timo]

I generally go for soft serve. Frozen yogurt, specifically Columbo french vanilla with rainbow sprinkles is my jam.

 

[Regiruler]

DONT MAKE ME DECIDE

 

[Rest]

Hard scoop? Do you mean normal ice cream? It shouldn't be hard.

 

[Unmasked Ferret]

I love both, don't make me choose.

 

[not psycho]

All good, but... Soft serve for hot fudge sundaes or caramel. Frozen yogurt for dry toppings. Hard scoop for root beer floats. Hard scoop also for a more substantial feel when eating plain ice cream, but based on the one time I had truly high quality gelato I think it's the champ for plain.

 

[Polioliolio]

Try this trick.

Take your storebought hard icecream. Put it in the bowl. Then start mashing it. Mash it with a spoon.. It'll actually condense it a bit. Do it quickly and whip it as fast as you can. Somehow, the taste and texture becomes 10 times better. You just have to whip and eat it before it gets melty, but it's sooo good.

 

[Timedog]

2 girls 1 cup vs chocolate chip cookie dough

 

[Septimus Prime]

Hard scoop, for sure. Soft serve feels melted, and melted ice cream is awful.

 

[Apt101]

Whatever Coldstone is. That is the MF bomb.

 

[Javaman]

I start with vanilla hard serve ice cream with a squirt of chocolate syrup and after eating half, mostly around the chocolate I mix it up all together into a tan awesome sauce. (Softserve)

 

[Trojita]

I hadn't realized how bad her teeth are aligned. You really see it after the ice cream circles around them :S

 

[peteykirch]

There's a place near me that makes the best soft serve, they do some many random and unique flavors.

I had their toasted coconut soft serve with some peanut butter soft serve and it was absolutely delicious.

Now I want to go get some...

 

[jotun?]

soft scoop

 

[The Albatross]

Hard, obviously.

Soft serve is garbage 90% of the time, but even garbage ice cream > no ice cream.

DQ blizzards somehow hit that middle level of soft and hard ice cream.

I don't like the cones in which soft ice cream is served. Waffle cones all the way

those flat bottom, non-sugar cones are gross

 

[Parallax]

Thriftys hard scoop cookies and cream is my number one pick. Its like nostalgia with every bite
