Süßer Glücksbringer

Some of you know that I'm not a huge fan of North American ice cream. After living here for so long I'm even less of a fan. Why?

Take a look at this picture. It's one of the latest Cremissimo creations: Süßer Glücksbringer.


Basically sweet [good] luck bringer. It's a mix of pistachio and stracciatella (white ice cream with chocolate) ice cream. The chocolate pieces are shaped like little four leave clovers and the pistachio ice cream like a large green four leave clover. And, instead of just a clear plastic air tight seal underneath the lid, there is a short little fairytale printed on the seal. In this case about a little three leaf clover who learns that to bring good luck you don't have be made in a certain way ( have four leaves instead of three) - you just have to make people happy (yes, it's a fairytale, but it's still kinda cute and it has a good lesson).

Pretty creative eh? And, a lot better than the typical North American flavours.

Hi Anna - Resident Foodie here. Did you know that the ice-cream is made by a US company, Good Humor, that is owned by Unilever? Yay for globalization. I do have to say that products made for the European market taste so much better. mmm...can you bring me some back? :)

It's too bad that the Europeans are the only ones with the superior taste buds. It'd be nice to be able to buy this quality in every supermarket in North America.
