Welcome back again!
The next flavor I’m reviewing is Tillamook’s Mint Chocolate Chip!
Mint chocolate chip ice cream actually used to be my favorite flavor of ice cream growing up, until I eventually got more into cookies and cream. Since then, I haven’t eaten much of mint chocolate chip ice cream. I still enjoy it, but it’s never one of “go-to” flavors anymore nowadays.
With that being said, I was still excited to try this flavor.
I was a little surprised – yet again – when I noticed the color. If you think back to my last post about the strawberry ice cream, I noted that the strawberry ice cream was very pale in color; it was very light pink, almost white. Well, it’s a similar case with this ice cream, except that this one is just white.
At first glance, it just looks like chocolate chip ice cream. I even double-checked the label afterwards just in case. Sure enough, it was still the mint chocolate chip – minus the mint green color we’re all used to seeing.
The first bite made me completely realize why Tillamook doesn’t use brighter colors. It’s because they don’t NEED to.
Hear me out.
The flavor was so, so tasty. It was a classic mint chocolate chip ice cream, but somehow 10 times better. They made sure not to skimp on that mint flavor, and it was for the better. It left me wanting more, and I even got a second full serving after my first – and one serving for me is about three scoops. The chocolate chips were much more like chocolate chunks, and I was 100% here for it. I’m not sure where they get their chocolate chips from, but they don’t ever need to get them anywhere else.
Tillamook doesn’t feel the need to use bright colors in some of their ice cream flavors, because the flavor speaks for itself. When your ice cream is amazing, you don’t need to worry as much about how it looks, because the flavor really is just THAT good. People are going to choose it over other ones regardless of how “pretty” it looks when they know how good it tastes.
I’m sure some of you are probably thinking, “Is it really that great? I mean, it’s just mint chocolate chip ice cream.” For you guys, I’d especially love for you to find it near you right here, so you can try it for yourselves. I’m sure you’ll understand afterwards. 😊
That’s all for now! I’ll see you next time, bye!
