Have you ever had a craving for ice cream but couldn't find the right flavor you were looking for? Well now here's your chance to design some.

Here are the requirements:

1. Design a long description for the ice cream (no longer than 60 characters including a/an/some and spaces).
2. Design the flavor messaging for the ice cream (no longer than 300 characters).
3. Design a second flavor messaging for the ice cream (no longer than 300 characters).
4. Design a long description for a second ice cream (same rules at 1).
5. Design the flavor messaging for #4 (no longer than 300 characters).
6. Design a second flavor messaging for the ice cream # 4 (same rules as 3).
7. Do not begin the messaging with "You take a bite of," or "You eat."

Example of a Submission:

1. some mint chip chocolate ice cream
2. With hints of peppermint, the ice cream is creamy but cool and refreshing.
3. Hints of peppermint blend well with the chunks of dark chocolate complementing each other.
4. some caramel-topped vanilla ice cream
5. Smooth vanilla ice cream, fragrant with the tiny seeds of the tropical bean, is laced with a contrasting swirl of sea salt and caramel.
6. The unusual swirl of salty caramel spirals through the sweet vanilla ice cream, throwing your taste buds into momentary confusion.

Entries

Arianiss

1. some blueberry ice cream with sprinkles mixed in
2. The first sensation is that of the cold cream, but as it melts it turns into sweet blueberry that lingers on your tongue before fading completely and leaving sprinkles behind.  The sprinkles crunch softly as you grind them between your teeth.
3. You let the ice cream melt in your mouth so as to savor the strong blueberry flavoring, which turns your tongue blue.  The cream to fruit balance is nearly perfect as it fades.  No sprinkles are found this time though.
4. some vanilla ice cream with crushed pineapple mixed in
5. The pineapple flavoring coming from crushed pieces mixed into straight vanilla cream creates a subtle hint of the fruit.  As it melts the pineapple taste becomes stronger.
6. The vanilla melts leaving numerous pieces of crushed pineapple lingering behind.  The tart taste mixes with the smooth vanilla to create a delicate embrace of flavors.

Obelin

1. some bright red ice cream swirled with soft golden flakes
2. Bright notes of candied citrus dance across your palate before gradually being overwhelmed by the flavor of sweet ripe berries.
3. Tiny crisp pieces of fruit and dark ripe berries alter the texture of the ice cream, contrasting soft and hard, and alternating creamy with sour.
4. some golden brown ice cream covered in clusters of bacon
5. Sweet, smoky, and jam-packed flavors of ripe grilled peaches and fried bacon wash across your senses.
6. Hints of brown sugar and bourbon serve to emphasize the combination of sweet peaches and rich cream.
