This is Really a Thing?

Couldn't believe my eyes while wandering through Ye Olde Dairy Section today when I saw this:

and the accompanying Thin Mint flavor as well.

The cookies are great -- wonderful. But the officially licensed Ice Cream was maybe going too far (as tasty as it is). The candy bars are a stretch (and, yeah, they're pretty tasty, too). But this? This is just ridiculous, girls. Rein it in, already.

(no, I resisted the siren song of Carmel Coconut/Samoa. As difficult as it was.)

Thought for the Lord's Day - #63


And as a man of holiness prays for more holiness, so a man of holiness believes for more holiness. Psalm 51:7—in the Hebrew the words run in the future thus: "You will purge me from sin with hyssop, and I shall be clean: you will wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." In the sense of all his sinfulness and vileness, he believes that God will give out greater measures of purity and sanctity to him: "You will purge me, and I shall be clean: you will wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Just so, in Psalm 65:3, "Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away." Though for the present iniquity did prevail—yet he had faith enough to believe that God would purge him from his transgressions, and that he would mortify prevailing corruptions.
