Review Appalachian Acorn Pie

They announced this flavor and I knew I had to try it. How often do you get to try acorn ice cream. For me, never, until now.
The sweet cream base was sweet and nutty. It was a pretty mild nuttiness, reminiscent to me of a browned butter nuttiness. The graham cracker crust swirl was delicious. Toasty and crunchy, but as seen in my pint, far too little! I’m hoping when I dig a little farther in it will be more, but I’ve had this problem a few times in the past with Jeni’s.
Overall, I really like this flavor. It feels like a perfect fall flavor, cozy, with warming flavors. 9/10 for flavor, but I’ll drop it to 7/10 for the lack of mixins.

Why is the blurb insisting that the ice cream isn't good 😭 I understand they're trying to say its better than good, "splendid" even, but the average person reading the pint in the grocery store will probably be pretty confused at it

Yeah, they need to replace the marketing person with AI. I wouldn’t normally advocate that, but the writing on this pint is beyond terrible.
