   Half Baked ice cream meets half baked ideas for a wholesome experience. This is highly productive inefficiency!

12. Heathen Heath Bar Toffee – Popular with Atheists. It’s topped with a blast of blaspheme and tastes positively sacrilicious.

28. Shakers-n-Quakers-n-Bears Oh My!
29. The Mostly Reformed Church of Generally Unrepentant Moravians…and the women who love them.
