A perfectly descriptive name.

Conan the Halfbarian.

For diet ice cream. Because real diet ice cream tastes weak, so you just have to learn to eat smaller portions of the good stuff. Nothing as massive as a single scoop at Sherman's Dairy Bar in South Haven (if you've never had the fortune of visiting, they will pack a waffle cone solid, and then top it with a giant ball of ice cream that has to be at least a pint by itself).

They cut the cutout part of the name.

Looks perfect for a new Midi-scale Millennium Falcon.

Anybody else see a surprised face formed by the two studs and the cut-out?

And it only took them 14 years to make it... I really missed this piece when they started using the Millennium Falcon cockpit as roofs on the '04 Hogwarts.

Woah I never expected someone else to mention Sherman's on here! I'm originally from the area. Went there all the time growing up!

@terfsten:
I took a couple college friends there summer 2019, and got a scoop of Michigan Pothole.

My favorite there was always blue moon as a kid! Hard to beat Sherman's!

@terfsten:
Oh, as a young kid, mine was Bubblegum, because then you had a wad of gum to chew when the ice cream was gone. Later on, it was either Mint Chocolate Chip or Cookies & Cream. These days, I go more for weird flavors. Michigan Pothole is a chocolate ice cream with caramel and cashews. I really wanted to try Blueberry (having grown up in the blueberry capital of the world), but they were sold out. Back when I was still in college, a summer roommate with diabetes wanted to go there because I mentioned that they had _five_ sugar-free flavors (I know Black Cherry and the usual suspects, but I can never remember the fifth).

I love a good mint chocolate chip as well! Yes I have seen the Michigan pothole. It has been a few years since I've been back home to visit. I have moved several hours away but most of my family still lives in the South Haven/Kalamazoo area. You're just making me a little homesick lol.

I have been on this site since I was in 6th grade around 2009ish and I just never thought anybody else on here would know what Sherman's was! It was a pleasant surprise when I saw your comment!
