RossMAN - (A.k.a. Grand Nagus, Hot Deal aficionado, web hosting encyclopedia, credit card infoman and banker extraordinaire). A time traveler born in 1773. Contrary to popular belief, he (not Jefferson and Monroe) was the man responsible for negotiating the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. In what was arguably the greatest "Hot Deal" in history, RossMAN negotiated the purchase of over 529,911,680 acres from France for roughly $3 per square mile, doubling the size of the US. RossMAN then boarded a time machine created by his friend Francis Scott Key to go forward in time to see if the purchase was a profitable investment. Unfortunately, the time machine was accidentally destroyed in a thunderstorm, and RossMAN has since moved into a home in Oregon, where he takes fiendish delight in tormenting local retail stores via coupons and pricematching. It is rumored that Sheepathon, a fellow Anandtech poster, has contracted penguin engineers from Antarctica to rebuild the time machine at RossMAN's request in order to deliver Costco hotdog/beverage combinations to Napoleon as a consolation gift for being quite possibly the worst real estate agent of all time. RossMAN also has the highest postcount on AT, at 70,000+. He is an admitted avatar whore.

It's a frozen dessert, like ice cream but different.

Edit: ah, and now I notice the link to your wildly different version. For us this would be Fun Dip (comes with a candy stick for the licking and dipping)

There's definitely a bit of context here.
If you're in a restaurant and there's a sherbet as a dessert it's not going to be a plate with a pile of powder on (if it is you can let me know where that is!), but sherbet is a pretty common sweet (candy) for UK kids!

I kinda got that someone broke their collarbone. The rest is just gibberish and dribble!

Not even close. I hate that I know that.

Worse. It is the Idiocracy version of Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
