Every year the same goddamned thing happens. It is late November. I have to go to the supermarket for some perfectly minor reason (this time around it was English muffins). I go to the supermarket, and what are they selling?
President’s Choice Candy Cane Chocolate Fudge Crackle Ice Cream.
So naturally I buy two tubs of it.
It is only available for the holiday season, and I am thankful for this because if it was available year-round I would weigh 400 pounds and have a bad case of approaching death-ness. PCCCCFCIC is quite possibly the most perfect and wonderful ice cream of all time – numerous sweet elements converging to form a delicious and perfect sweet-tasting whole that nevertheless does not overwhelm you with pure sweetness in the way that, say, a fair number of over-the-top cheesecakes can manage.
And I know it’s terrible for you. (I mean, the fudge crackle parts are actually made from freaking palm oil.) But every year, I buy it and eat it, an unstoppable hunger vortex as regards this ice cream. Every year I say “this is the holiday season where I do not have to diet and work out extra hard in January to overcome,” and every year the PCCCCFCIC makes me a horrible, horrible liar.
…now I want a bowl of it. FUCK.

Which superhero’s real name is Palm Oil? Or was that a plot twist…
That doesn’t sound appetizing at all. Granted, I’m not much of a sweets/ice cream/cake person.
It is the good shit, MGK. And thank God only available during the most wonderful time of the year.
Hrm. As soon as I have a freezer, I shall investigate!
There is a similar phenomenon with me and Chocolate Candy Cane Joe-Joes from Trader Joe’s. They are the devil’s cookie.
I dunno, the nutritional information doesn’t look THAT bad. Granted, you’re guaranteed to eat more than one tiny 1/2 cup at a time, but if you’re not following it up with a tasty slab of Lardo Joe’s Choice Pig Fat Fudge Crackles, you might be all right.
Palm oil is supposed to be the “healthy” oil. It’s not a transfat and whatnot. The bad bit is it’s grown in Burma and apparently has an ill effect on elephant habitat. But that’s not really a *health* consideration…
Those chocolate crackle ice creams are to die for, tho.

I honestly don’t know why, but THAT is the funniest thing I’ve heard in about 12 days.
Ah, but the fudge crackles are made from partially hydrogenated palm oil. I trust I need say no more.
Yeah, I have the same problem with White Fudge Covered Oreos.
I feel your weight gain/pain!
Dude, whatever you do, don’t try President Choice’s new Dulce de Leche Cheesecake. It’s their rich new york style cheese cake topped with delicious dulche de leche sauce, making it the perfect dessert.
Or how about the new PC Decadent Chocolate Truffle Cake? It’s delicious and will make an excellent gift.
Yes, I work for Loblaws, why do you ask?
President’s Choice Candy Cane Ice Cream is the greatest thing ever to be invented, in all of history. This is common knowledge.
It makes me fucking proud to be Canadian.
My weakness remains bavarian creme filled doughnuts. I do not have the willpower to overcome that blissful dessert.
