You chew the gum while you eat the ice cream, you heathen.

I seldom chew gum, but when I do, I'm more likely to swallow it. Defer disposal til later. No hassle, no mess.

I think "Classic" is synonymous with "Good ol' " in this context :^D

Lemon bars are a classic dessert. They are replicating classic lemon bar flavor in their ice cream. Looks like that flavor debuted in 2020:

Way back in my early years when they only had 3 flavors of ice cream I used to stir peanut butter in with my vanilla ice cream. Made the ice cream smoother and the peanut butter streaks were oh so good.

Fast forward to 15 years ago, and there was a chocolate chip cookie ice cream that I loved. Then we could no longer buy it and I actually wrote to Dreyer's to find out about it. They wrote back to say it was only a seasonal flavor. Not my proudest moment in life.

Have not bought ice cream in years due to not being able to handle sugar that well. Although I am getting better with handling sugar since I retired. Now I am just getting fat.

I actually bought that particular ice cream in Grocery Outlet.
It sounded great and Umpqua is a decent brand.
Turns out the ice cream is way too sweet. The chunks of the lemon bars were ok. but
the carton had these swirls of lemon filling that was pure sugar.

Found a pic of what it looks like.

Thanks for the report! I was actually tempted to buy it cause it sounded good, but I've been trying to cut back on sweets. I went a little overboard this past winter.

bubblegum ice cream is bizarre because only weirdos swallow gum

It's long been one of my favorites, at the Baskin Robbins next to the arcade I used to frequent as a kid I'd often get one scoop of peanut butter chocolate and one of bubblegum.
So yeah, your statement checks out.

That's how they get you. It's easy to fit a bar into a cylinder. You just have air space around the whole thing. Air is cheaper to manufacture than ice cream or lemon bars.

Might I interest you in a good ol fashioned snus flavored ice cream? Akin to what you would have gotten at a malt shop in days past.

What happened to Rum-Raisin?

You have to buy vanilla and doctor it.
