For years now, high-end restaurants have been pushing “savory” (i.e., disgusting) ice creams on us. Well, now it’s payback time.

Flavor: Chocolate Garlic
Rachel, age 8: "It tastes like poop."

Flavor: Haddock
Mason: "Frozen fish crystallizes easily, and the chunks are way too big."

Flavor: Bay Leaf
Penny, age 5: "I’m not going to taste any more."

Flavor: Lox
Alexander, age 10: "You know what this is like? Fear Factor for kids."

Flavor: Durian
Molly, age 6: "Ew. It looks like dog pee. I’m not tasting it."

Flavor: Lobster
Thelonious, age 7: "Run, before he makes us try another!"

Mark says: The Chocolate Garlic flavor was tasted at my favorite ice cream store, Marianne’s Ice Cream, Santa Cruz, California.
