Dippin Dots has been around for a long time.. had a stand in the mall out in Allentown, PA for quite some time. Don't know if it's there anymore though..

I guess MCDs just got a license on it, thats all..

For how much? I always buy a tiny little cup for $4 when I go to amusement parks/Universal Studios... banana split flavor is the best. :D
I used to get them at the mall sometimes! I love the mint chocolate chip ones! :D

Dots, wow, my mom loves those things, I tried them once they were different but still tasty. (I think I had something like strawberry/banana)

Only place we can get them is the state fair though.

It's been like that for a while. I think after the ecoli incident w/ jack in the box - all fast food burgers had to be cooked extra long so the patties are now like the size of a quarter.

There is a 30-45 second window inwhich the parfait is good. Believe it or not, the frozen block of ice you get has thawed at least 90 minutes in a refigerator.

Yeah, but I haven't ate a Big Mac for a while, so I just now realized. And they charge $4.something for the meal :|

First they take away the Cajun McChicken, then they introduce the parfait (which is watered down yogurt + fruit ice cubes). Today curiosity got the better of me and I tried their Dippin Dots "Ice Cream of the Future." It tasted like I was swallowing frozen BBs.

My $0.02

The parfaits are actually really good about 2 hrs after they're made.
The fruits are frozen after they're just made and they are too soft after about 8hrs.
