Welcome back to Tilla-Maya!
This post is going to be a bit different than my usual posts. Today, instead of reviewing an ice cream flavor, I’m going to be reviewing another blog who also reviews ice cream.
This blog is called “On Second Scoop” and the very first post was in 2008. They’re still posting to this day in 2020 after almost 12 years! Now that’s called dedication.
Unlike my blog that focuses on one brand, their blog is about all sorts of ice cream. They’ve reviewed over 1,900 products! The products include regular ice cream in a carton, as well as ice cream/sweet products, like ice cream sandwiches/cookies. There’s even a spot on the home page with a search box, so you could find a specific product that they’ve reviewed.
First of all, I love their name. “On Second Scoop” is a nice little play on words, and it has to do with the fact that they always try their ice cream more than once, and they give a second thought (or rather, a second scoop) about it before giving their verdict.
I also love the color scheme. It’s a simple mixture of blues, but coolness adds to the website content itself and makes it more appealing. If it had colors that were blander, I don’t think I would have been able to keep looking through their website. It’s not only because I personally love color, but also because it’s ice cream, and ice cream is supposed to be fun and colorful!
Another thing I like about this blog is that their pictures are really nice. Not only do they show the packaging of the ice cream, but they also show the process of eating it by taking photos of the ice cream itself – before and after some is scooped out.
Lastly, they provide excellent information. Their reviews themselves were very informative. They talked about the texture and the tastes, and even showed the nutrition facts and mention how the different ingredients factor into the taste and texture.
Aside from their reviews, they also have a news section where you can find some prominent news about different ice cream brands. However, that portion hasn’t been updated since 2017, but it is still a cool addition to the site.
Would I recommend checking this blog out? I would highly recommend it. It’s something that I’m going to keep bookmarked for the future for sure. It’s super helpful and entertaining, and it feels like you’re having a nice conversation with them. I think you’d like it as much as I do! You can check it out here.
Well, that’s all I have for today! I’ll see you all next time, bye! 🙂
