Oscar Mayer Has A Hot Dog Ice Cream Sandwich Now

Not to be outdone by mustard ice cream, which contains no tubed meats, Oscar Mayer has released the Ice Dog Sandwich.

What business does a hot dog and bologna maker have making a dessert? Well, the short answer is, none. However, that hasn’t stopped them from creating a hot dog ice cream, accompanied by a mustard gelato and housed in a cookie bun.

The best part, besides the candied hot dog bits, is that an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has been converted into an ice cream truck and will be disbursing Ice Dog Sandwiches in NYC the week of 8/12. And, if you’re not sure what to listen for, please see below.

Fictional Avengers Ice Cream Flavors Are Now A Reality, Sorta

The Avengers franchise gave us a lot of things. Besides the mindless entertainment and a decade-long emotional investment in superheroes — there was the subtle reference of new Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream flavors.

However, since Iron Man and Hulk don’t actually exist, nor does “Stark Raving Hazelnuts,” or “Hulka Hulka Burning Fudge.” Until now.

Binging with Babish makes fictional pop culture foodstuffs a reality, and he’s brought forth those super flavors. Although, the Avengers-inspired ice cream won’t be available to the masses, Babish takes you through the steps of making your own. Ice cream, assemble!!

There’s A Cookie Puss Beer Now

You know the cake and voice. Now, everyone’s favorite ice cream alien can be enjoyed in beer-form.

Cookie Puss The Beer is brought to us by a collaboration between Carvel and Captain Lawrence Brewing Company and available in two versions.

First up, Cookie Puss Birthday Beer — a milkshake IPA that pays tribute to Puss’s home planet, Birthday. His green and brogued counterpart, Cookie O’Puss Beer is a chocolate pastry stout. Both beers will be available in limited quantities at Captain Lawrence headquarters in Elmsford, NY, and some distributors along the East Coast.

Of course, no mention of Carvel is complete without a very grainy commercial from the 70s. Enjoy.

Mosaic Artist Fills Potholes With Yummy Treats and Food Packaging

The last time that we checked in with mosaic artist Jim Bachor, he was filling potholes throughout Chicago with ice cream.

Over the past few years, Jim has continued his work of improving streets and communities with more ice cream mosaics, unmistakeable food packaging and other treats. Bachor has even taken his talents to the streets of cities across the U.S. and abroad.

Bachor’s shop has prints and original works available, even a piece that showcases and old-school Swanson TV Dinner. We assume that he did the dessert first.

Bring It On, Summer, There’s Popsicles That Don’t Melt Now

What a time to be alive. Someone’s figured out how to make popsicles that don’t melt.

Although, summer is drawing to a close, food artists Bompas & Parr have created the Non-melting Ice Lolly. What is this frozen sorcery you ask? The popsicles are made with a pykrete-inspired substance. Pykrete, in its traditional form, is a sawdust-based ice that has a very slow melting rate.

Bombas & Parr’s version replaces the wood with edible fruit fibers. The result is a popsicle that you can finally take your time with. Bring it, Sun!

The Non-melting Ice Lolly, unfortunately, has yet to be mass-produced. They were only available for a very limited time at The British Museum of Food.
