When ordinary flowers won’t do, there’s now Gelato Flowers. Brought to us by i Creamery in Sydney, Australia — the flowers are made possible by layering colorful gelato over and over again on to a cone.
The best part, is that they may last even longer than real roses. Just try not to admire it too much, or you’ll have a colorful trail running down your arm.

Sometimes, it’s totally necessary to grab a spoon and go to town on that pint of ice cream. And, sometimes, you need some insulation and assurance that what you’re doing is OK.
The IceCreamHuggy, by Design Ideas, is here to help. The insulated koozie will not only slip over your pint of ice cream, but it comes with a message of hope. Whether you need to be reminded that, “I Deserve This,” or to “Treat Yourself,” either koozie will be as comforting as the pint it’s wrapped around. You deserve both.

If you’re still undecided this election season, please keep an open mind and perhaps let an ice cream flavor influence you. Ample Hills of Brooklyn has released a few Election 2016-inspired ice cream flavors to help you make up your mind.
Hillary Clinton’s flavor, “Madam President,” is described as “a powerful yet comforting combination of sugar and spice and women’s rights.” It’s chili-infused chocolate ice cream with chunks of chocolate chip cookies made with Hillary Clinton’s recipe.
Donald Trump’s “Make America Orange Again,” similar to the actual candidate, begins with an orange base. It’s orange creamsicle ice cream with marshmallows and chocolate brownie bricks.
Choose wisely, voters.

There are few things sadder than watching perfectly good ice cream melt before we’ve had a chance to stuff it in our pie-hole. That is unless the melting is done for the sake of art, as seen in Ice Cream Melting In Macro.
Brought to us by Macro Room, watch as the ice cream quickly breaks down into a puddle. The video even gives us extreme close-ups of the melting process — which show the frozen treat starting to sweat, then breaking down, then puddle. Please watch this.
Do you love ice cream? Häagen-Dazs Japan has discovered a way to get the ice cream to love you back with Häagen Heart Hunting. The promotion was actually created by accident or, more specifically, inspired by the imperfections we find when opening a carton of ice cream.
A lucky two in every one-thousand will actually find a “Clear Heart,” while more ice cream-eaters will find the malformed “Goodbye Heart,” or “Cheating Heart.”
