Guest Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Iceberg opened and failed in 2 different locations in the Boise area. I wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordering the "zoo" was always fun. Oh and singing around the player piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 It was fun to watch two people have to carry it and they would run around with the horns blowing and sirens. Oh those were the days. Or ordering the "pig trough" so you could be announced as being a pig. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applepansy Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hope you have a big appetite.That reminds me of when my husband and I were dating. There was a great ice cream store at Trolley Square. They had a "kitchen sink" on the menu. It actually came in a kitchen sink and had a scoop of every flavor on the menu. We ordered it once! Once was enough! LOLIt looked something similar to this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Here is the pig trough at Farrell's. It basically was two large banana splits. If you finished it by yourself you were announced being a pig with oinks from all of the employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RipplecutBuddha Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I wouldn't pay good money to have a bunch of people oink at me.No kidding!! After all, why pay for it when you have siblings that will do it for free, like I did? The best places in Wyoming for ice cream treats were Yellowstone Drug in Shoshoni for shakes and malts, and then Farson for ice cream cones.Yellowstone Drug is now closed and gone, and the current owners of the Farson store either have no clue about ice cream, or they don't care. When I was a kid if you ordered a medium cone of your choice, it came with three scoops on top. Order a large and it was five scoops, covered with a paper bowl, turned upside down and served with a spoon. The ice cream used to be great, but now it's horrible even if you avoid getting the freezer-burned portions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 weren't we? I remember reading on some message board somewhere a long time ago about an awesome restaurant in SLC with awesome ice cream. My brood and I will be in Zion in a couple of weeks and we're all somewhat fanatical about our ice cream. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? I want to say it started with an "f", but my memory cannot be trusted.There is a place called "The Train" or something like that in Midway (South of Park City). The food is not special at all but it is a favorite hang out of President Uchtdorf. The Traveler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
