INYIM Media Way Back Wednesday: Baskin-Robbins’ Ice Cream Maker!
“When I made Baskin-Robbins’ extremely butch Baseball Hat Sundae an HSOTD last month, reader Angela dropped a note in my inbox to remind me of the Baskin-Robbins at-home ice cream maker that she got for Christmas one year. Yes, Angela just had to brag about growing up with Rockefeller-type money since she was clearly “got a Baskin-Robbins ice cream maker for Christmas” types of rich! But seriously, in the olden days, Baskin-Robbins decided to let the kids try to make ice cream themselves at home.
In the 90s, Baskin-Robbins joined forces with a company called Wham-O to create their ice cream maker. It came with the ice cream maker itself, Baskin-Robbins paper cups, eatin’ spoons, a scoopin’ spoon, ice cream mixes, and other accessories. The ice cream mixes came in Baskin-Robbins flavors like Cotton Candy, Rainbow Sprinkles, Chocolate Sprinkles, and Banana. It’s unknown if there was an ice cream mix of one of my favorite 31 Flavors flavors: Pink Bubblegum. I’m pretty sure I’m alone in that because every time I ordered it, whoever I was with would gag at the thought of it. Tasteless tricks!
Here’s a commercial for Baskin-Robbins ice cream maker, and I’m glad I never heard it back in the day, because if I did, I’d still be singing, “Turn it! Churn it! Cookie breaker!” – Dlisted.com
