Clara Lau & Monica Lee @foodsisterhood Spam is delicious. Double the spam in the spam double down is even better
I scream, you scream, we all scream for … well, hang on a second. Some of us might find other frozen treats to be more scream-worthy than ice cream. There’s no debating that it’s hot out and we could all use something cool and refreshing to see us through the rest of summer. But when it comes to the ultimate cool-down dessert, we think you should decide! This week, we pit ice cream against all other frozen treats to see which best beats the heat! It’s ice cream vs. ice pops, popsicles, freezies, slushies and so much more. So turn up the cold and cast your vote! “Ice cream all the way,” says Gastroposter Carly Spears
