When Only The Bad Ice Cream Flavors Are Left Over…

The story of what to do when none of your favorites are left

For those of you who know me semi-decently, you know that I love ice cream. Like a lot, pretty sure I can eat it anytime and enjoy it. I’ve been stuck on Ben & Jerry’s “The Tonight Dough” for the last little while, it’s quite the combination of ice cream.

Now it might be slightly absurd to write an entire post about ice cream and how much I love it, but the truth is this is a parable, or parallel to life of sorts. I just figured it’s easier to relate to ice cream than anything else boring like politics or something.

Have you ever had the experience where you go to get ice cream and all the good flavors are gone? They only have weird ones left over that nobody really likes, and it looks like there is freezer burn on them and they are ancient and who knows what’s happened. I mean afterall, they don’t really turn over very often because anyone in their right mind wouldn’t pick one of those weird flavors as their number one choice…

What are you supposed to do in that situation? Just deal with it and go with the gross ice cream? Maybe it’s better to pick the one that’s the least worst… But in all reality you’re basically screwed and might as well leave the ice cream shop and come back another day.

Now I feel like that’s about the situation we are all running into here. In general election year of 2016 we are stuck in the ice cream shop that has only crappy flavors left (Trump and Hillary…) They are old and annoying, and no one would pick them as their first choice. They are like the outcasts of society, but seeing as it’s an election and not ice cream we can’t just come back another day, we sorta have to make a decision.

We are to the point now, that maybe, just maybe one of the employees will find a new flavor in the back freezer and bring it out to restore hope. Maybe we’ll get a semi-reasonable rational candidate that we can actually trust. It’s terrible to see that this is what the parties could come up with… terrible ice cream flavors.

So I don’t know what to tell you to do, I guess if you are into the weird ice cream flavors you are content with this election, but as for the rest of us who just want some cookies and cream it’s a real bummer, because there is definitely no rational possibility of a good choice like that come November.

Who knows, maybe we are just screwed. But just make sure you at least pick a flavor, and hopefully a new one will come out of the woodwork that just might work out for us all.
