ICE CREAM vs. ICE BLOCK
If it ain't the cool mind freeze flavours of the two greatest rivals of all time. Ice Cream and Ice Blocks, the comparison between the two is becoming fague, the idea of the two morphed into such ideas as Moreitz, or Memphus Meltdowns, the 'Ice-Cream on a stick" fad, has never let up. But which is better? The double scooped goody-goody gum drop? Or the good old fashioned frozen juice on a stick....read, and find out.
First Up: Ice Cream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. No matter what, you can't say no to Ice Cream, whether it be vanilla, double chocolate, banana split, goody goody gumdrop, hokey pokey, french vanilla......As you can see, it automatically stands out. But what is it about Ice Creams that make it so, well, good? It must be the 'extra' item included, the cone. The cone is more or less, one with the icecream, people find it easier to lick ice creams, or to bite the end off the cone and suck the ice cream from out of the bottom, while devouring the sloggy cone afterwards. The access, flavours, and the cream which allows it to melt into a thick shake, always makes this bastard, a hit with the fans.
Second Up: Ice Blocks
Ice Blocks, are more or less, more convient. Wrapped up in a bag, concealing the flavour, and the stick that protudes from out of the bottom of the frozen juice makes sure you are given ample warning when it's going to melt. And, for some strange reason, it is strangely fufilling to lick or tear apart the stick once the Frozen Juice has been devoured. It came in variant colours, multiple colours, and was always easy to get to, easy to buy in bulk, and there was never the waiting time inbetween the shop keeper dishing them out, like with Ice Creams.
In Comparison:
Ice Creams melt easier, tastes better, has an extra item to eat, and you can choose whether you want to mix flavours and or get the chocolate dunk. Ice Blocks, are easy to eat, usually cheaper, make your tongue and lips change colour to freak out your mother and it's easy to store in the fridge if you are full. Time for the bad points. Ice Blocks are usually considered, juice, and you find yourself 'drinking' an Ice Block. The juice that drips in hotter days will always stick to your fingers, and you cannot bite your Ice Block without suffering from a serious brain freeze. If you accidentily tear of a piece, you are forced to indure a -10 Degrees Celcius piece of ice, defrosting in your mouth. Ice Creams are usually never too cold, whenever you buy them in shops, they are always melting at an adequate rate, and they seem to last longer and are more fulfilling. But, the length of which people must wait for each Ice Cream usually causes a pre-emptive melting stage to occur.
The Winner? The Ice Cream
It's clear the Ice Cream is a winner, but when it comes to fads, Ice Blocks take the cake. It's been so hard to tell between the two nowadays, that they have become one, god bless Memphis Meltdowns
THE TOGA vs. THE QUILT
From the likes of Sir William Wallace and Julius Caesar, the power of each of these people is equal, except one thing, their graments. What is better? A Quilt? Or a Toga? Who would win in a fight, and in comparison, which piece of old clothing goes the distance, and which does not. Stick around, for the battle of the century. First Up: The Toga
The piece of clothing covers most of the body and it can come in various colours with design patterns combing the edges of the garment, marking rank and importance. The Toga can double as a bed sheet, and even if you run out of toilet paper, well, you get the picture. The Toga is an elaborate item of clothing, but it isn't war ridden like the Quilt, and it isn't very warm, (I know this from experiance). Plue the Toga is very flammable. The Toga does get a bonus for all of the characters that wore it, Sparticus, Julius Caesar, nearly every Roman wore one, and Toga's are so popular, it has become tradition around the world to have Toga Parties, where people turn up wearing Togas, trying to inact the Roman age. Second Up: The Quilt
The Quilt is the Scottish skirt that kicked major arse through-out the centuries. The Quilt has a fashionable sense, and in New Zealand, is mainstream for School Girl uniforms. Even though back in the old days the Scots didn't wear underwear under the Quilt, it was still warm, to a sense. Wearing a quilt without underwear can be extremely, itcy, but they all do come in different designs and patterns, depending on which clan you're from. Quilt's also get a bonus for having easy access to taunting an enemy in battle, as it was shown in BraveHeart, all you have to do is lift up, and HELLO, the enemy can see your bits and pieces, and they take offence to it, just make sure you don't get an arrow in the arse. In Comparison:
The Toga, when compared to the Quilt, the Toga is more fashionable, and it has a following, with the parties and clubs devoted to it, but. The Quilt is still in use today, and it is still mainstream, Scotland still hails it's ancesterary, and it's good to know that the Quilt has survived without dismishing it's original flare. The Toga does have a more fashionable sense, but the Quilt is far more durable, and it takes longer to burn, when put on fire, and the Quilt can be warmer, that's if there's no wind that gusts under your Quilt. The Quilt is even a major accessory with School Uniforms in this world today, while the Toga is a bit less known, and is for more elaborate schemes and fun past times. The Winner? The Quilt
The Quilt is more durable, and is still in use today, it has survived the ages, and comes in many different colour schemes that the Toga. |
