the westside is inundated with creamy whip stands: buster's, putz's, keller's cone zone (formerly tummy treats), sweets and eats, general custer's last ice cream stand (i'm sure i'm forgetting some), and my particular favorite, the zip dip.so here are my top 5 favorite fantastic ways to enjoy creamy whip, in all its glory:
- the twist cone. whether it be orange/vanilla or chocolate/vanilla, there's the sublime joy of the flavors mingling in your mouth.
- red dip. i think it's supposed to be cherry, but really it's that fabulous faux red-flavored solid shell. eat it fast. melting ice cream will seep through the cracks.
- oreo parfait. have you ever met a person, you say, "let's get some parfait," they say, "hell no, i don't like no parfait"? parfaits are delicious.
- jimmies. yeah, that's right, i said jimmies. that's 'sprinkles' for all you eastsiders.
- put it in a mini plastic baseball hat. sweet. just rinse it well before turning the hat over to the pug.

I didn't grow up in Cincinnati and I've never lived on the west side... but I do love me some Zip Dip!
hell yeah! that's what i like to hear!
I grew up on the East Side working at Aglamesis in Montgomery and we called sprinkles jimmies too, its not just a west side thing.
This post reminds me I have yet to introduce my 1 1/2 year old daughter to the wonder of creamy whip ice cream. Yeah for creamy whips!
i stand corrected on the use of the term 'jimmies'...my apologies to eastsiders! :)
jaime - i hope your little one enjoys her first creamy whip experience!

Actually I have met such a person, and we work with her. Ann always gives me the most atrocious look when I eat strawberry parfait. There are some people I will never understand....
