Re: bridget –
I used to work there too. It was during the Olympics and it was mad crazy, but fun. They make the best ice cream cakes. Yummy.

RIP, Mr. Robbins.

Actually read Diet For a New America by his son, instead.
Baskin Robbins Forever says – reply to this

His ice cream is better than Cold Stone Creamery. Baskin Robbins actually has taste. I will be forever grateful for his Rocky Road and Pistachio Ice Creams. They saved my life.

Rest in peace Mr. Robbins.

NO - Please go and eat some 31 Flavors ice cream to celebrate. Froze yogz just doesn't really cut it, no matter what anybody tries to say. I used to work at BR when it still looked like this…and there were the black and white pictures of cows and fields all around the top. In fact…funny story…a bunch of people got busted once when instead of taking the trash around the back of the store, they threw the trash bags up on the roof (which they always did) … but this time they threw them up on the high side of the building…a bag opened…and hot fudge dripped all down the sign…when the managers went up on the roof—they found ALOT of trash bags up there!! Ha…good times!

Hey man ! country Icon Eddie Arnold died today. who cares about this ice cream dude. I lost a baby few teeth to Pink Bubble Gum Ice Cream so I might harbor some resentment.

ask his son what to do. john robbins forsaked all by giving up the family (torture) fortune. read "diet for a new america"BY john robbins and you will answer many questions about his life, passion, hope for the world, etc. and possibly become enlightened………………

HIS SON WROTE AN AMAZING BOOK about 20 years ago - a classic now.

Look it up - it is called "DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA".

He disowned the fat unhealthy food pushed by his daddy.
