Damn you, Galen Weston, and your stacked roster of President’s Choice commercials – always tantalizing me with more goodies that my hips will love and my jeans will hate.
So I’m just over a week postpartum and happen to be watching TV at an ungodly hour while Reid-a-Roonie is feeding (sleeping?)… and I see my nemesis, Galen Weston, once again doling out delicious promises on which I just know he’ll deliver. This time? PC’s new ice cream flavours – fashioned after ones you’d find in a parlour! Including…
Rainbow
Root Beer Float
Caramel Toffee Crunch
Marshmallow Chocolate Swirl
Sprinkle Party Cake
Cotton Candy
…. and much more, including my all time fave, TIGER TAIL!!!
Geez Louise, I’m supposed to be working off the pregnancy weight, not drooling over ice cream! Needless to say, I woke up Mike and told him under no circumstances is he allowed to purchase the ice cream until I’ve dropped at least 20 pounds.
(In the morning, I refined that number to 10 pounds, as every one should be rewarded for good work. By midday, we had agreed that 5 pounds was an accomplishment in itself; and perhaps we could talk then.)
EDIT: As you read this, I’m eating the ice cream. I’ll start my diet tomorrow :)
Oh, YUM! Just as I remember it – creamy orange ice cream with a thick ripple of black licorice. Perhaps the best combination known to man… I can’t believe it took so long for someone to offer this flavour in a grocery store! Gotta hand it to PC!
The new flavours come in pint sized containers that are perfect for sharing (or consuming yourself if you’re nursing a broken heart). Using only quality ingredients, you’ll be sure to find an old (or new) favourite. Baskin who?
Now you know how much I love to share goodies, so one lucky reader* will win a $100 PC Gift Card to purchase a summer’s supply of ice cream! To enter, simply jump online and find your favourite flavour, then leave a comment here to let us know why you love it! I’ll draw for a winner on Sunday. Good luck everybody!

mmm… i think I'd love the PC Loads of Decadent Chocolatey Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream… but the Mint Chocolate Chip sounds good, too!denimc{at}gmail{dot}com
Loads of cherries and chocolatey chunks. Drooling right now. Need ice cream.
I would LOVE the PC Loads of Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream because I remember going out for ice cream as a kid with my parents and always having this delicious flavour at one of the big name ice cream chain stores. (Plus I LOVE PC products!) I love that delicious mocha flavoured ice cream with a fudge, roasted almonds and chocolatey espresso flakes – YUM!!!!arctic_teacher AT yahoo DOT ca
Oh my goodness, I loved Bubble Gum ice cream as a kid! Guess I'm going shopping tomorrow….katharine(dot)lewis(at)gmail.com
I saw that commercial too! yummy! I am having some serious ice-cream cravings right NOW! Bubble Gum ice-cream…I have to try it!:)
tigertail??? i couldn't agree less! not a fan of black licorice :S
During the May 2-4 long weekend, we had a family BBQ. My mom was in charge of dessert. She arrived with 6 containers of this amazing PC ice cream and waffle cones (also PC, also amazing!). Everyone got to choose their favourite flavour (or a sample of each). Each one that I've tried is delicious! My favourites are the Marshmallow Chocolate Swirl and the Rainbow. I am an ice cream addict, but usually don't like "rainbow" ice cream from an ice cream shop – too sweet, even for me. But the PC Rainbow is just the right amount of sweet. OK, time to go to Superstore!! Enjoy all of the ice cream you can handle! You need the extra fat to feed your little guy!
I'm dying to try the root beer float!
Yummy…sounds so tropical…PC Mango Ice Cream..mmmm
Oh Lena, why must I choose just one? I want them all….PC Loads of Pecan Butter Tart Ice Cream might due though!!!!lulus.pals@gmail.com
My favorite would have to be PC Tiger Tail Ice Cream, as it reminds of going for ice cream when I was a child with my grandparents. darcyh (at) mdirect (dot) net
I would love to try the Marshmallow Chocolate Swirl. I love anything with chocolate. My husband just tried the Bubble gum and loves it…I'm not much for fruity flavours though, so I'll hold out for the chocolate.
My favourite would be the maple crunch ice cream because this flavor reminds me of the good times I would have ice cream in the summersopheap_pich(at)hotmail.com
oh boy, that PC caramel toffee crunch ice cream reminds me of the one at Laura Secord…I need to have that!
PC Loads of Pecan Butter Tart Ice Cream..Just typing it out is making my hips & mid section expand!!
Yum, makes me want to run out and get ice cream!!I'd definitely pick PC Chocolate Crunch Ice Cream!!!
my fave is PC Loads of Decadent Chocolatey Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream. I think my girls would like the PC Bubble Gum Candy Ice Cream…but Mommy overrules!!
This post makes me want to run out and get some ice cream before Loblaws closes,but sadly there is no car in the driveway at the moment! thanks a lot Lena! I would love to dig into a container of PC Loads of Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream! YUMMM!
I like Root Beer Float Ice Cream, brought back memory of lots of Root Beer floats when I was in highschool :)
Mmmm, I'd love to try the Decadent Chocolatey Chip Cookie Dough and the Mocha Almond Fudge.
i loveeeeee the cotton candy flavour!! it just tastes amazing and the stripes of blue in it tastes like candy!!!
PC Mint Chocolate Ice Cream!!!… mmm… it's the perfect way to cool off in the summer. Makes my mouth water just typing this!!!
I love the PC Loads of Cherry and Chocolatey Chunks!!! Why? It's all three of my favourite foods put together in one; chocolate, cherries, and ice cream!
By the end of the summer my plan is to try all the different PC ice cream
I'm sure my favorite would be PC Marshmallow Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream. Mint Chocolate Chip would be a close second. Thanks for the great contest
Wowza, The Cotton Candy Ice Cream is really calling my name!! I have to pick up a pint soon :-)
tough to choose just one, but it's got to be caramel toffee crunch for me!
The root beer float ice cream looks best. I like anything made from beer.J_Will at telus dot net
Gotta love tiger tail – it reminds me of being a kid again! (And who doesn't love that!)
Mmmm bubble gum. Was the only flavour I could find as a kid my dad wouldn't insist on having a taste of!
Mint have always been my favourite…even when I was little. So PC Mint Chocolate Ice Cream would have to be my choice.
I am going to be a bit boring and go with mint chip – my old stand-by!jax
I'd like the PC Loads of Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream, because it combines one of my favorite flavors and nuts.Thanks,mltong55@gmail.com
I didn't even realize they come in those small tubs. I have had the First Chocolate Fudge Crackle Vanilla Ice Cream. What's not to love? Plain vanilla is my favorite, but coupled with the extra crunchiness of the fudge, Yum, Yum. Drooling!
Butter pecan tart has to be the BEST, ever, someone with a sweet tooth made this one, now I have to go buy it todaylilylilyofone@hotmail.com
I vote for the root beer float,,,margorogersarthur@yahoo(dot)ca
ben says the dec choc. chip cookie dough sounds amazingbbenwright hotmail.com
lets try the mocha almond fudge, better try it twice it sounds soooo good, in a bowl, on a cone,,george at sympatico dot ca
I really like Marshmallow Chocolate Swirl.gizfarris@hotmail.com
Root beer float for me!NC
I am with you on the Tiger tail. My number one fav when I was a kid. I haven't had it in a long time.
I've been a fan of the PC ice cream for the past year…i highly recommend the Fudge crackle peppermint chocolate ice cream and te Fudge crackle caramel chocolate ice cream…next on the list if the Mocha almond fudge (need to find out if it is as good as the Baskin's version) and the Chocolatey chip cookie dough..yum :)
Chocolate Marshmallow Swirl all the way. What can be better than chocolate and marshmallows in the summer; it's like cold, creamy urban camping!
Yummy-love icecream and love President Choice products !! I'd love to try the Decadent Chocolatey Chip Cookie Dough.
Love to try the orange and licorace Tiger Tail icecream.
Mint Chocolate Chip. Hands down.
The PC Chocolate Crunch ice cream is definitely my favourite. Chocolate anything pretty much. Mmmm, I enjoyed a bowl of it last night. :-)
Pecan Butter Tart is my current favorite, but I think I should try them all for a truly informed opinion.
I'd go for Mint Chocolate without a doubt!
Mint chocolate chip definitely brings back childhood memories! Yum!
I saw the commercials about this, but how can I pick a favourite??? I have to say, your blog makes me want to try tiger tail, so with my gift card, I would buy that. And for my pick, it would have to be bubblegum. I LOVED it as a kid. I know…. gross, but I never have the courage to order it at ice cream stores anymore! I'll try it and let you know if it is as good as I remember!!
I think I would like the PC Sprinkle Party Cake Ice Cream. Cake and ice cream all in one sounds yummy to me!!
I love Sprinkle party cake ! MMMM sounds like a 4 years old dream.
My favourite is Caramel Toffee Crunch.hellcat1st@gmail.com
pc chocolate crunch
Fudge Crackle Peppermint … I love eating this ice cream – it makes me feel sophisticated and child-like at the same time! =)
PC Mint Chocolate Ice Cream!
If I had to pick just ONE, I'd have to say PC Loads of Decadent Chocolatey Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream!
My pick would be to try Maple crunch and then Mango. Great now I am craving some ;)
I'm a Decadent series lover myself but the Marshmallow Chocolate Swirl sounds intriguing!
Yum! I'd pick the Marshmallow Chocolate swirl because it's the solution to the s'mores problem. You know, you bake your s'more over the fire and then pop it in your mouth and the stupid, scalding marshmallow WELDS itself to the roof of your mouth while you flap your arms and run in circles to cool off your blistering mouth. While this happens, the chocolate runs down the side of your chin (usually as a result of panicked drooling) and you choke on the graham cracker. Cold ice cream would solve this terrible problem. And plus, there are no graham crackers to choke on. WIN-WIN situation for me!kelly.lane (AT) sourcecable (DOT) net
So hard to pick just one….but if I must, then I'd say Loads of Mocha Almond Fudge. YUM!!!!
PC Banana Split Ice Cream ….how could you not love it! <3
Tiger tail…when i was younger that was my treat of the week, to have a tiger tail icecream cone if I lost any weight that week…so good,,,cant wait to go buy somepatiofurniture1f(@) hotmail ( dot) com
Do I have to choose just one? I love all ice cream but I'd probably pick Chocolate Crunch. Ohh and Lena, when I was prgenant I craved ice cream and had a cup or a cone everyday. President's Choice of course. After the baby, it was a hard habit to break but I still indulge at least one a week!
I think I would love the PC Cream First Chocolate Fudge Crackle™ Chocolate Ice Cream because I LOVE chocolate anything!!ajmizen(at)hotmail(dot)com
Mmmm… love ice cream, but can't eat it while nursing my little man (he's allergic). But if I could have some, I would start with root beer float. I love PC products – they make the only non-dairy chocolate chips I can find… so at least there are some things I don't have to give up! tamdeford at yahoo dot ca
Oh my…gotta love Caramel Toffee Crunch.
Mint Chocolate Ice cream yum!!
Rainbow please! As a kid I remember barely able to look over the counter to see all the different varieties of ice cream but one always stood out….Rainbow. I'm drooling over the thought.
OMG!! I actually went out & got the Rootbeer float icecream today. IT REALLY TASTES LIKE ROOTBEER!!!!
I have mint chocolate chip in the freezer right now. It is ice-cream parlor quality!
Wow! Is this a new record for most responses to a post? But who doesn't love ice cream?I am stoked that Tiger Tail is your fave, Lena! We picked some up just days ago… and it is great!For years I've wandered into ice cream parlours, even though I wasn't dying for ice cream but just to see if they had Tiger Tail… and I'd get some if they had it because more often then not I left without (can't settle)…A Tiger Tail Lovers Club should be formed (looks like we got a few members already). Yaaaah!Thank you, PC!

PC Cream First Chocolate Fudge Crackle™ Chocolate Ice Cream – I love it because it's so chocolaty

I love PC Mango Ice Cream because it is a refreshing sweet flavour that is perfect for summer.
My favourite is definitely Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream!
Loads of anything is a good thing!!!(with the reference to ice cream – not the weight you can accumulate putting it on – haha!)So, my choice – no contest – is PC Loads of Cookies 'N' Creme!!! Yummy…my DH just MAY be making a run to our local Superstore when the kiddies go down, under the 'guise' of needing more milk for the little man's breakfast!! haha!! ;-D Sneaky, I know…but a girl needs her ice cream!! :-D

I have always loved loved loved Bubble Gum flavored ice cream. I love the sweet tast of bubble gum as ice cream!! yummm. koodos to the person of thought of this great combination! :)
