show churned idolatry

It has recently come to my attention that the good folks over at Edy's have started a flavor-off.

Here's how the contenders stack up:

- Cookies 'n Dreamz (chocolate light ice cream with chocolate cookie pieces)
- Cheesecake Diva (cheesecake ice cream with brownie pieces and a fudge swirl)
- Mint Karaoke Cookie (mint light ice cream with chocolate cookie pieces)
- Most Orange-inal (vanilla light ice cream with an orange sorbet swirl)
- One Split Wonder (banana flavored light ice cream with decadent fruit and chocolate swirls)

I know what you're thinking: where's the originality?! Haven't we all tried these flavors before? What makes them so special and, more importantly, worthy of the "idol" distinction? If you ask me—and you didn't—nothing.

If anything, I might vote for "One Split Wonder" just because I love some of the current banana split iterations that are available on the market. In this instance, the "decadent fruit" they mention on the packaging appears to be little more than cherries and strawberries (according to the ingredient list). Decadent?

At any rate, if these flavors appeal to you, buy some ice cream and cast your vote.
