I went to The Walmart Ice cream Social and tried the new NESTLÉ® DRUMSTICK® LIL’ DRUMS™Sundae Cones. I was instantly excited when I saw that they had Cookie Dough Lil’Drums! YUMMY! I was also very excited to see that I got to have a FULL one!
I took my hubby and two oldest kids with me. We didn’t tell the kids that we were going to shop for ice cream or about the sampling event! We walked into the store and headed for the icecream isle. It wasn’t hard to find as it was close to the front and well lit! I hadn’t noticed before but Nestle makes several different types of Drumstick cones.
We then spotted the Nestle Lil Drums sampling event. My kids ran as fast as they could! I love that Nestle has made these smaller ‘”lil drums”! I like this because my kids do not make as big of a mess if they can hold the icecream in their hands. I am especially excited about these “Lil’drums” as they are the perfect size. I personally like the bigger drumstick, but it’s too much for my kids. We were offered two flavors, Cookie dough or chocolaty fudge. My kids felt like they still got a treat and I didn’t feel like they got “too much”. They ate it before it melted and loved the fudge chocolate flavor. They were so excited to get the “whole thing” as they put it!
When shopping for icecream, I always think about the family as a whole. I am not the type of parent who buys ice cream (or anything else) just for my husband or myself. I try to think in realm of the WHOLE family. What will work for everyone. As a mom, I think about mess and sugar. I was a little sad that the sampling event did not have coupons. I love coupons and wish to shop with them ALWAYS! I did however have a printable coupon from Facebook for $1/1!
After being offered one to try, and trying the cookie dough one, I knew I wanted to buy a box! This is where my shopping trip gets sad…the gal offering the samples was telling everyone that the store was out of them. This was concerning to me as it was only 5:40PM and I think it’s hard to build a relationship with a brand when you can’t take them home and fall in love with them again and again. She said that she had to buy all that the store had to use for the sampling event. 🙁 I do, however, plan to buy them for my daughters birthday party. We plan to have an outdoor luau and I think the kids would love them!
We left without buying any icecream but the kids were excited that they got to try something new…something that they love! I was excited because they weren’t too messy and because I also got to try something yummy!
