239th New Thing - Tried Little Man Ice Cream

After work and running 5 miles, I went to Little Man Ice Cream in the Highlands to redeem my Google Offer that expired today. I paid $5 for $10 worth of ice cream. Google Offers deals from a local businesses that are emailed to you every day. Little Man Ice Cream (and gelati) is hand-made with some of the finest, local ingredients, and in small batches to ensure quality. They also serve fountain sodas, floats, malts, shakes, banana splits, and sundaes. I bought a pint of Raspberry Love (raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate hearts) and a pint of Butter Pecan for $10.50 (- $10 Google Offer = $0.50 or $5.50 total). I also had a small free sample of Oatmeal Cookie. All 3 tasted great. According to their website, 427,021 scoops have been served since July 4, 2008.

 

In addition, from day 1, one of the driving factors behind Little Man has been a program called Scoop for Scoop. They have made a commitment to share 1 scoop of rice for every scoop of ice cream sold. In just 6 months of sales in 2008, Little Man was able to hand deliver over 5,000 pounds of rice to villages in Ethiopia and Myanmar. Another good start to the weekend!
