Despite the fact that the term 'Klondike' aludes to pioneer-era gold rush areas of the Yukon and Northern BC, Canadians had their first taste of the Klondike brand ice cream treats this past week. After beating down a 270lb black man for the last available box at the local supermarket, tropicthunder and I finally got our answer to the age old question, "What would we do for a Klondike Bar?"
After our first taste, I must say we were less than impressed. My first thought was that the treats tasted a lot like Dairy Queen dipped cones, but with a thinner chocolate layer. Tropicthunder declared that the ice cream itself was actually worse than Dairy Queen, which is funny because DQ serves ice milk, not ice cream. Overall, we found them to be average or slightly below in the world of frozen snack foods. I'd buy them again if they were on sale or something.
So, to answer the question, "What would we do for a Klondike Bar?", nothing spectacular. The words 'generic' and 'average' and 'run-of-the-mill' spring to mind about the Klondike experience. I would certainly never again beat down a 270lb black man for another, so I suppose the Natural Tickler's of the world are safe.
Your opinions on Klondike bars?
