wonderwoman, on a hot day, such as during this long weekend, I think any of these ice cream sandwiches might hit the spot! But the reviewers did use some pretty critical descriptions for those last three in the Facebook survey!

Tofutti Cuties are awesome. They taste just like the super cheap ones my mom bought when I was little. But they're critter product free!

Eliska, thank you for reminding me about horchata. Now I've craving some to go with some good Mexican food!
