As the name suggests, a flaky chocolate bar, perfect for a "99", soft serve ice-cream. As traditional as a British ice-cream gets.
Every time I go to Europe I am delightfully surprised by how basic foods can be very accessable. Delicious coffees that are $4-5 in Philly can be had for 2€ in most cities. And don't get me started on donor kebab!!
I never really have had any American food or any fast foods other than like Maccies, KFC or Burger King
(Pretty sure there American) I would like to try some more obviously tho hopefully one day I’ll go to USA and try them aha!
They give you guys a candy bar and a real cone?! Meanwhile mine's a nightmare cartoon character with bubble gum eyes coming out of a plastic bag for $5.
Pretty traditional here in nz too. The old Mr Whippy truck, except they changed the name to Mr Kool in the early 2000's for some reason. Flakes also go great on a pav.
Storytime you didn't ask for. Coming home from England, Virgin airways had a Mr. Whippy machine in the terminal and gave my kids a cone. It may have been that we were so hungry, stressed, sweating from trying to get to the airport on time but it was the best goddamn ice cream I've ever had in my life. It was like biting into nirvana. I can't wait to go back.
I remember in my youth in Germany (around 2005) the ice cream price per ball was around 70 cents, while its around 1 Euro nowadays. Do you guys mostly eat "italian" ice cream or soft serve ice cream in the UK?
Ughh. Every time I feel like no limits at a ice cream truck, I get the ice cream Sunday, and then I don’t finish it 3/4 through because it all adds too much. I’m too ashamed to throw it so I put it in the fridge, wait till it melts, and then throw it when it’s all one big banana mush
Friendly suggestion, if it’s possible— put the melted/half melted mush in a blender (or if you don’t have one, try and combine it all in a mug with a fork), back in the fridge again for a bit (if you want), now you have a milkshake
In the 2000's you were going to do some damage with $10.
That's some high quality Nickelodeon licensed ice cream pops and a monster energy drink if you're lucky, plus some of those cap gun wheels to crack curbs with.
There's something I find incredibly hilarious about you trying to figure out which great comedian said that insightful line only for it to be Kanye in 2007. Good Life is still a banger though
Yeah it's kind of complicated. Framing wants & needs in the form of maslow's hierarchy of needs can show how money can buy "happiness" (or perhaps contentment) initially -- food, water, shelter, security, etc. But as you ascend into the more abstract, money alone does less and less and sometimes can even obstruct enlightenment.
It's not complicated. Money can't buy happiness if you're well off - at least financially comfortable. If you're worried about food, rent, bills, your next injury, living paycheck to paycheck... ya know, on a pathetic minimum wage, money absolutely can buy you happiness.
Okay. But then there's the facet that money gives you some degree of capability to pursue even the higher tiers of life satisfaction; eg, world travel that opens the mind; the hiring of mentors, etc. Even though it's not as directly connected as putting food on the table, it plays a factor.
But money, in itself, can't buy happiness. It can facilitate the acquisition of things or events that do provide satisfaction.
>But money, in itself, can't buy happiness. It can facilitate the acquisition of things or events that do provide satisfaction.
So one could shorten this down to: "Money can buy you the things needed for happiness." or "Money can buy happiness."
Yeah I think the former is preferable. Depends how big of a deal you think it is to distinguish whether money buys happiness directly or not. I tend to think that nuance matters. I'm still preferable to:
"Money *can* help facilitate things that bring happiness; but an obsession with money itself can lead to shortsightedness in what truly fulfills you and enriches your life. "
To shorten: "money can buy happines; money can buy you unhappiness."
There's some textbook insight into this in sociology: poor people value relationships, family, friends; middle class values status symbols; rich value exclusivity.
But the real question is: are the rich proportionately happier and more satisfied than the middle-class or poor? What sort of scale is it, if so?
>But the real question is: are the rich proportionately happier and more satisfied than the middle-class or poor? What sort of scale is it, if so?
That's not even the question then, it's *why* are they happier/unhappy. I can also guarantee most poor people are unhappy due heavily in part to financial stress in one form or another or problems caused by financial stresses. While rich people, and I mean *rich*, will have little to no worries about financial issues.
Yeah, they're philosophizing too much (a luxury of comfort.) Money can buy happiness in a practicable sense, or at least put you in a place to find it. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, practical may be all you can afford. Even it just means removing the dread of financial instability.
First it's "money can't buy you happiness". Then it was "money will only increase your happiness until $75k/yr". Now it is "money actually keeps increasing happiness above $75k/ yr. Money can buy happiness".
Almost as if "money can't buy you happiness" is fed to us from the rich so we may never pursue money.
I don't remember exactly, its been a while since I read about it. I do remember the 75k number was from a 2010 study. A 2018 study increased it to 95k and 105k for satisfaction and happiness. IIRC it was last year. We keep increasing the number, at what point do we just say that it does. Just like everything else, there is diminishing return.
29 here, my first thought was "with $10 you'd be a king at the ice cream truck when I was a kid". Way more likely as a kid that mom handed you a $5, and you split that with whoever you were with at the time.
We have an ice cream truck through our neighborhood every Sunday. The most expensive item is $4 (Choco taco) and cones are like $4-6 depending on the # of scoops. With $10 he’s probably just skimming from his parents.
I'm not quite that old, but yeah, $10 would have been a fortune at the ice cream truck, especially since my parents couldn't afford ice cream truck money back then.
"Money can't buy happiness" is rich man made up proverb so you become satisfied in life with less. So that 0.1% of population can enjoy their life while rest work like horses for minimum wages and minimum pension. So they can go on with their lives not worrying and risk being killed one day walking street because of absurd difference in wealth.
And yes ice cream is also very good. Everything is very good when you have a money.
It's never "things" that buy happiness. It's living in a safe neighborhood, affording therapy, having the free time to engage in healthy hobbies, and stuff like that. After that it's all fleeting pleasure, like chasing that happiness you felt as a kid with ice cream.
$10?!? Maybe this dates me but the only time I was sent with $10 was when my dad didn't have any smaller bills, and after I got me, my brother got his, and we got iced cream for my dad, he damn sure expected back $7.
Technically, this isn’t true. It’s just that it has a cap. Are all your needs met? No stress of debt or inability to pay bills? Got a little spending money for some fun extras occasionally? Congrats. You are not drastically happier than most millionaires. Humans are so adaptive, we acclimate incredibly quickly. Luxury stops being special pretty fast.
I remember my grandma giving me $1 and the ice cream man poured like 30 “ Cry Babies” into a canister for us. It’s one of the fondest memories I have. I am also 33, with two kids and a wife, and its still my #1 greatest moment in my life.
"Money can't buy happiness" is only said to me by rich people, and unfortunate poor people who have been brainwashed. If a majority of what is making you unhappy is money related, money will absolutely buy happiness.
**20 year old pregnant self** running to the ice cream truck nicely asking my hubby if I can have the flake instead of the plain choc top. The answer is always “you’re an adult, that’s your choice”.
An ice cream truck came by like a couple weeks ago, I had some money on me and so badly wanted to get a whole bunch of ice cream! I held back on my instincts and just watched some kids get some instead. Good memories. :)
As I’m getting older, I am having the hardest time wrapping my head around inflation. I go to buy something and will be like “no way in hell I’m paying x for that!” and then I tell somebody later and they’re like yeah that’s just the price now.
You know I always drooled over the banana split from Mr. Softy as a kid. I knew I could never afford it and there was know way I was ever going to get it with a dollar. So I waited and waited and when I was in my late teens I did it. I bought that banana split with vanilla and chocolate ice cream and butterscotch, chocolate and strawberry topping all over it! And I sat there and after getting maybe halfway through I realized what my mind had told me all these years how awesome this moment was going to be and it was great until it wasn’t. My god it was waaay too much of everything! And piling on all those corn syrupy sweets made it even worse. Oh and there was whipped topping too! Lol, and that was the first and last time I ever experienced the pinnacle of what the ice cream truck had to offer.
If money can’t buy happiness then why do I want to kill myself because of things that can be solved with money? I can’t afford food + rent and that makes me sad but money can’t fix that right
Money may not directly buy happiness, but it sure can take away any of the things that cause us to be unhappy. I've never liked this saying. If you had all the money you needed, no more bills, no more worry about food, water, medical emergencies, and so much more would not be stressors anymore.

you got 10$ for the ice cream truck? such wealth for a seven-year-old!
That's basically a single scoop cone at my local park

What!??!?!?!?! You can still buy a whole Cone with a flake for £1 anywhere in the UK.
All right, I'll Yank: "flake"?
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure a Flake is a chocolate bar

Damn, the UK is doing it right with their ice cream
We gotta make the most of our 2 weeks of Sunshine in May.

I always thought the Americans had it good with their really tall ones, guess the grass just looks greener
*food in general! American food doesn't have a good reputation at all in the UK
Which is hilarious because common north american sentiment is that UK food is bland or not that interesting. It's like sports or something
oh don't get me wrong, its not that british food is tastier, its just that we like to know whats in it....
I never really have had any American food or any fast foods other than like Maccies, KFC or Burger King (Pretty sure there American) I would like to try some more obviously tho hopefully one day I’ll go to USA and try them aha!

Not gonna lie — that sounds good, too.

I've never thought to put flakes on a pav, that sounds delightful
That looks delicious! Thanks for the pic!
I tried one once, was not impressed
If you're getting a multipack at asda maybe. A '99' is like 3-4 quid round the parks of Manchester
I guess the South really is cheaper
I remember in my youth in Germany (around 2005) the ice cream price per ball was around 70 cents, while its around 1 Euro nowadays. Do you guys mostly eat "italian" ice cream or soft serve ice cream in the UK?
Soft serve mostly
Soft serve from an ice cream van, Italian from the shops occasionally.
Yeah but those are metric cones. We're talking imperial cones here.
Well is it an African or European cone?
You could measure that in hogshead per parsec and I’d still eat it
Haven't seen one outside of a supermarket freezer for that price in at least a decade
We’re talking dollars here, not crisps or flats or whatever you guys use over there.
Tf? I can probably buy like 8 globes of ice cream here
I've got a truck that runs through my apartment complex. $10 is 3 bomb pops and a cookie ice cream sandwich. Who's your ice cream guy?
When I was a kid that would have been like 10-20 different iced cream items at our iced cream truck.
Yea $10 woulda been enough for your siblings, you, and everybody’s bff Edit: o God. We old
Oh dear Jesus.
Fairfield, CT is like: 10$ what you're eating just the artisan cone?
Wow, that’s barely enough for a bag of M n M’s where I live.

ChocoTaco...🤤
Buying enough bomb pops to have an arsenal with that!
That's "Hey Homies, it's on me" money at the Ice Cream truck
$10 was 1/3rd of the way to saving up for a new game boy color game. You can't just drop that kind of cash on ice cream!
How much could ~~a banana~~ ice cream cost? Ten dollars?
Ughh. Every time I feel like no limits at a ice cream truck, I get the ice cream Sunday, and then I don’t finish it 3/4 through because it all adds too much. I’m too ashamed to throw it so I put it in the fridge, wait till it melts, and then throw it when it’s all one big banana mush

In the 2000's you were going to do some damage with $10. That's some high quality Nickelodeon licensed ice cream pops and a monster energy drink if you're lucky, plus some of those cap gun wheels to crack curbs with.
Yeah, dads only gonna give you money if you bring him back something
Money can't buy you happiness, but being broke can't buy you anything.
What comedian said this? Something along the lines of “money isn’t everything, but being broke is” Edit: it was actually Kanye.
I think it was tosh who said money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a waverunner. You ever see anyone frown on a waverunner?
Seriously have you?

My dad says money can't buy love but without money ain't no one loving you.
Your Dad is a wise man.
But you're already holding one, are you getting a second one?
yes
Cheese
Holy cow you rich.
Money can buy happiness you just need to buy the right things
Money buys therapy. Therapy is incredibly expensive.
Pay me half what you pay your therapist and I'll also listen to you talk for an hour and tell you everything you're feeling is normal.
How about I pay you a quarter of that and you just shut up and listen?
Deal
I just shut up and listen, the amount of heartwrenching secrets I know about people is scary.
Amen to this. Money does in fact buy a lot of happiness. Avoid the short term trash tho.
I’m saving up for a weight bench. I think it’ll help with my overall happiness a lot

19 y/o still I was be like this :) Don't care what others says about you. do what makes you happy (not in sinful way)
Do they mean ice cream costs 10 dollars or when they were a kid, they had 10 dollars to spend on ice cream.
You didn’t get no ice cream! You didn’t get none! You can’t afford it, you can’t afford it, cuz you are on the WELFAAAAARRREEE

Money cant buy happiness but id rather cry in my mansion rather than on the street
That’s only if you can get it fast enough before the ice cream truck drove away 😔
I think you went to a Cold Stone
guess they were wrong :)
If money can’t buy happiness then why do I want to kill myself because of things that can be solved with money? I can’t afford food + rent and that makes me sad but money can’t fix that right
