It looks like Shell has finally figured out a way to combine the awesomeness of ice cream with the grilling power of propane. It probably doesn’t taste very good, though. (Thanks to swarrior216!)

Boy, let me tell you what.
@doctor_cos: Gawd Dammit Bobby!!!
So this explains the gassy feeling I get everytime I eat ice cream from there! Better stay away from the candles now..
OMG the used a new line instead of a comma!!!!!
@MikeF74: Yeah, and apparently, if you play the lotto, you win a 44oz bottle of soda!
@MikeF74: Quick! Someone write an EECB!
or they mean they have propane, ice, and cream.
@Yam:
And
12 pack beer
play lotto here
44 oz soda
That reminds me of a sign I saw at a gas station outside of Galveston, TX about 20 years ago. The sign read, “We have dead bait snacks beer.” “Dead bait” and “snacks” were on the same line and “beer” ran underneath it. I still laugh about it now and wonder what a dead bait snack might be.
@saintpetepaul: @robdew2: Right, because they should never post anything funny once in a while.
Consumerism is serious business.
When I get home, I’m lighting some candles, throwing on my Blair chenille robe, (so comfy!) and settling down with a big bowl of propane ice cream. It’s Friday, I deserve to relax!
@Crabby Cakes: Uh, you might want to rethink the candles+flammable sleepware+propane ice cream combination…unless your definition of relaxation includes a Roman candle imitation.
Just a suggestion, anyway.
@jeffbone: If it was flammable, it would say so. This tag says INflammable, so I think I’m safe.
@Crabby Cakes:
“”Inflammable” means “flammable?” what a country!”
@undefined: Hopefully the beer is Alamo brand
I picked the wrong day to stop eating propane ice cream.
@‚ò†Gr—èr—èr—èr—èr—è sings the doom song now!: +1.
But do they sell propane ice cream accessories?
Taste the cream, not the steam.
Whew! Close call there, you saved a bunch of consumers from accidentally not buying propane ice cream or 44oz lottos.
This isn’t even a typo. You’ve dug through the bottom of the barrel and hit mud.
This is stupid.
@robdew2: Yes, that about sums it up/
@robdew2: It’s Friday and a slow news week. Chill.
@robdew2: It’s FRIDAY. I think he’s having a little fun. Lighten up!
@robdew2: I knew this story would draw a comment from you, because you seem to hate these types of stories. I admit this one isn’t all that funny. But if you hate these types of stories, don’t comment. The editors are judged on the number of page views their stories generate, as well as the comments. So if you don’t like a story, just ignore it.
@robdew2: Yet another sad case of someone born without a sense of humour. Your donations of propane and ice cream can help us raise the funds we need for research and treatment. Please, won’t you give generously so we can fight this terrible condition?
@robdew2: When did this blog become the Haterist? And the Humorlessist? And the Whinerist?
I also seem to remember the following listed at SEVERAL movie signs across Southern California at the time…

@SnowingCookies: Changing between the Dark Knight and Hancock, you get…

@varro: Actually, you get this.
Until Ben & Jerry’s says its a flavor, I’m not buying it!
@menty666: Dude, it’s not a “slow news week”, check out the RSS feed.
Sometimes I guess when Consumerist has nothing to say, they play grammar nazi and we should all think how clever they are.
@sanjsrik: Or perhaps they’re trying to add a little light humor to the site. It can’t be all debt, fraud, x didn’t repair y, and poor customer service all the time you know.
Intertnets aren’t all serious business.
@NPGeek: Well, this is seriously not funny, so do with that what you will.
@sanjsrik: I can’t believe you think an invention such as Propane Ice Cream doesn’t require a post on every site.
(Is it flammable ice cream, or just propane flavored? More at 11)
@sanjsrik: @MustyBuckets: Don’t worry, it’s INflammable.
We were driving through NY State near Cooperstown one year and saw a convenience store sign:
Ham
Ice Cream Sandwiches
We were repulsed
@menty666: You must be Jewish. Just Kidding
@menty666: But what about bacon ice cream sandwiches?
I’m thinking that flammable ice cream wouldn’t be such a good treat.
@skizsrodt: What about flambe?
[www.recipezaar.com]
@skizsrodt: Obviously you’ve never had Baked Alaska…. mmmmm. (Yes, I know the ice cream itself isn’t flammable)
Maybe they are in an area where there are lots of RVs with propane powered refrigerators? Beer for you, ice cream for the kids and propane so everyone can stay cool and delicious.
@lockdog: “so everyone can stay cool and delicious.”
Cannibal!
dangit, Bobby!
On a hot day I can do TWO of those 44 oz sodas, esp for just a bit over a buck each.
@gStein: I can get it embroidered on a Consumer Reports labcoat for you.
@Laura Northrup: You can? Let me get SteveDave.
@Laura Northrup: Can you get one w/GitEmSteveDave?
Is the beer 9.99 dollars or 9.99 cents? I’m so confused!
@icantreplyright: If it’s 9.99 cents, I’m buying.
Oh noes, more VZ math! Seriously, what the hell is with the dollar AND cent symbols? Did they let a 5 year old put the sign up?
Culver’s(a frozen custard/burgers chain in the midwest) has a lot of funny signs like this, because they advertise both their custard flavor of the day AND their sandwich of the day, yielding signs saying things like “WALLEYE / BUTTER PECAN” and “STRAWBERRY SWIRL / BBQ PORK.” Ongoing hillarity.
OK, I thought it was funny. Apparently I’m easily amused.
They taste like burning.
@DerangedRoleModel: That ged deng charcoal ice cream just doesn’t perform as well, I tell you what.
WHY IS THIS ON THE CONSUMERIST?
…

Oh yeah, cuz it’s funny!
in the words of Ralph Wiggum “tastes like burning”
ths s nwswrthy?
@enthreeoh: can i get a “why is this on consumersit” T-shirt?
@enthreeoh: For a second there, I thought I was on Failblog…
@enthreeoh:
if you want news, how about you go to a news site and not a blog?
@bainelaker: probably because i’ve been reading this blog since near the start and i’ve enjoyed it thoroughly. however, this is still a waste of space in my opinion.
