If you’ve ever had the misfortune of drinking a warm beer — which is almost every beer you enjoy al fresco in the summer — you know all too well how disappointing it can be. And while people have worked hard to find a solution to that problem — Kooz…
You may have dreamed about it, but until now, Nutella ice cream has only been a figment of your imagination. Today, thanks to Carvel, Nutella ice cream is finally a reality. It’s available nationwide starting today, June 30, and will be sold until September 30. So hurry up, Nutella fans!
Carvel and Nutella both have big birthdays this year, and they’re thankfully teaming up to celebrate. Carvel is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year and giving itself, and all of us, a great birthday present by releasing this Nutella ice cream. Nutella is turning 50, and in addition to partnering with Carvel, the company has opened two Nutella bars in Eataly Chicago and Eataly New York. Nutella also celebrated its birthday by teaming up Cronut™ chef Dominique Ansel to make special, one-day-only Cronut™ hole made with made with Nutella.
While you may have seen chocolate-hazelnut ice cream before, this is the first time an ice cream brand has ever partnered with Nutella. Carvel is incorporating Nutella into four ice cream treats:
The Nutella flavor isn’t overwhelming in the ice cream, which may disappoint some Nutella fans. When you get a bite swirled with the spread, however, the flavor is overwhelming — in a good way. If you like bananas, the Sundae Dasher with Banana is for you. However, be warned that in the battle of competing flavors — banana vs. Nutella — banana definitely wins. Our favorite was the hand-scooped chocolate ice cream layered with Nutella and Carvel Crunchies, because it had the most apparent Nutella flavor. If you get your hands on one of Carvel’s new Nutella ice cream treats this summer, let us know what you think!

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — A Frederick, Maryland, woman says she was served a bag of marijuana with her fast-food order at a Sonic drive-in.
The Frederick News-Post (http://bit.ly/1yTXRXX ) reported Friday that Carla McFarland says she found the little plastic baggie in a container along with the French fries she bought Wednesday in Frederick.
McFarland says she complained to a manager and called police. She says a manager later told her an employee had been fired after saying the bag must have slipped from her apron.
Franchise owner John Louderback confirms that the employee no longer works there.
The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office says it’s investigating the matter.
McFarland isn’t laughing. She says her two young children were in the car, within easy reach of the bag.
Sonic Corp. is based in Oklahoma City.

A new restaurant in San Antonio has a policy that’s challenging the status quo and raising some eyebrows in the process. Its servers don’t take home their tips — not a single penny of them.
Oaks Crossing opened its doors last Friday and, with its unique methods of paying employees, became the first restaurant in San Antonio to embrace a no-tips policy while benefiting the greater good, KENS 5 News reported.
Although the restaurant’s manager, Nick George, is “flattered and humbled” that customers are moved to leave a few dollars on their tables before leaving, he’s currently discouraging them from doing so. But when gratuity is given (the restaurant had collected about $600 when KENS 5 News reported the story on Wednesday) the money is donated to a good cause. The first to benefit from Oaks Crossing’s satisfied patrons is the local Parman Branch Library.
A restaurant spokesperson told the news source that instead of relying on tips, servers are compensated with a competitive wage.
“I think they need to put signs out or at least notify you, inform you somehow,” one man told KENS 5 News after dining at Oaks Crossing, noting that customers still tip mostly because they’re in the dark on the rule. Management said they’re still trying to figure out the wording for signs that will inform diners of the policy, as the restaurant just opened recently.
Restaurant chain Waffle House recently drew similar attention for a company-wide tipping policy, but for all the wrong reasons. After a generous diner at one of the restaurant’s locations in North Carolina gave a $1,000 tip to his server on Mother’s Day, Waffle House management gave the tip back to the anonymous do-gooder. According to company policy, large tips charged on a credit card are automatically returned to the customer.
The story had a happy ending, however, when the patron caught wind of the story and returned to the restaurant to write a check for $1,000.
