You do know there’s a chewy kind of icecream that has an even better texture than melted icecream right?
I prefer something in between hard ice cream and milkshake >

Soft serve >>> >

I wish soft serve came in more flavors. Some places do, but otherwise it's chocolate, vanilla, or swirl and that's no fun. >

I have a soft serve maker at home.  Was not expensive and I can make any flavor I want.  Highly recommend. >

Think you responded to the wrong person.  My teeth are fine. >

i have sensitive teeth too
i avoid this issue by not biting the ice cream what is wrong with you >

Nah I bite the ice cream. I like my ice cream crunchy. >

mate i don't think that's ice cream >

Well not with that attitude >

Sensodyne toothpaste. It works. >

It’s really worth it if you have sensitive teeth. >

I always do this. I love soft serve ice cream. Super thick, dense, cold ice cream >>>>>> >

I swear, I feel like there’s things like this that everyone just did when younger but thought other people would think it’s weird >

I've been doing this almost my whole life especially with Neapolitan ice cream.
Edit: Although instead of making it soup like I just keep jabbing and stirring until it's soft served like texture.  I've had an ex who thought it weird. When I texted him about this quirk how I jabbed and stir until my ice cream has a soft serve texture/ sometimes soupy he responded with this "0_0" >

You wanna try something really crazy. Get a baguette and try using the ice creams as a dip like a super sweet cold hummus or something.
I know it sounds insane but it works.
Also might work with any savoury thing. Fries, crisps…will have to check. >

That actually sounds good I'll try it out. Here's a weird combo my brother did years ago vanilla ice cream mixed with otter pops. >

Brutally bad opinion.  Nicely done. >

That’s soft serve. You’re describing soft serve ice cream. >

Your teeth shouldn't be that sensitive, go to the dentist >

Pfft  I've been to the dentist. 20 years ago! 
Jk. My teeth are fine just sensitive like my mom lol >

Sounds like you both have a lot of cavities >

Sounds like you don‘t know what you’re talking about.
You can have sensitive teeth without having cavities. >

That level of sensitivity and legit “pain” would likely be more than a genetically thin enamel. If >

So you‘re a dentist and examined OP? >

Yes >

Must have examined them over the phone then. >

That's what I do!!!!! Gf and family, EVERYBODY, thinks I'm crazy!! They're the ones who are missing out though! Post just made my morning!!! >

You wanna try something really crazy. Get a baguette and try using the ice creams as a dip like a super sweet cold hummus or something.
I know it sounds insane but it works. >

Stay away from me and my family >

Try it, don’t worry about what other people think. You never know, you might like it. >

Grandpa? I didn't know you were on reddit! >

this is the only way i eat ice cream >

solution: lick the ice cream >

I prefer drinking it >

Microwave the pint for 25 seconds before consuming.  Soupy on the sides while the core melts and pools at the bottom >

This is the trick >


Normal ice cream? Hurts my teeth. Makes me cry in pain and agony. OWWWW. It's so cold! The pain! 

You have sensitive teeth, that's not normal
Not that I disagree with you tho, although ice cream isn't supposed to be hard, it's supposed to be soft, like cream >

The harder the ice cream the better! I do not like hard ice cream that has become soft. I like Soft serve/custards as they are Bc they’re supposed to be soft. >

Ice cream soup! been making it for years lol >

Take care of your teeth and maybe you'd enjoy it. >

Yessss! I've been doing this my entire life and it 100% makes icecream better >

I totally disagree, I love to chew my ice cream, but fair's fair, this is unpopular so upvote! >

Just pour a little milk in that. >

Dude get some sensodyne. Eat your ice cream however you want but it shouldn't hurt THAT bad. You will feel so much better >

Yeah I should tbh my teeth are quite sensitive >

Found Link.... IYKYK >

At this point just buy milkshake? Cheaper etc. Ice cream is too sweet for drink. >

In what world is a milkshake cheaper? At minimum $4 at any fast food place, $7 at a sit down restaurant. Or you could just buy a half gallon for $3-4 and get several milkshakes/ice cream soups out of it. >

Where I live, the leading milkshake franchise is 25$ for a reg, 31$ for large >

There is no ice cream in the world worth $30. >

Always did that as a kid, good memories >

I actually stick it in the microwave for a few seconds. I don't like soup but it gets it closer to soft serve texture right before it melts. Chocolate syrup added is a bonus. >

eat ice cream or drink a milkshake
but don't make the rest of us watch you slurp melted goo from a bowl like some barbarian >

A bowl is just a short wide cup. >

bowl is bowl 😕
bowl is wide cup 😮
bowl is deep plate 🤯 >

nostalgia >

Finally an unpopular opinion I can agree with >

I feel the same way, however this is honestly a pretty popular opinion >

Yes! This!  I do this all the time.  Its like a shake.  Everyone tells me that its gross but they are just missing out. >

I just microwave my ice cream. >

I've met kindred spirits! I'll met I've found fellow egg salad sandwich in tomato soup dunkers!...Lots of crackers in all kinds of soup mashers (like the ice cream)!...extra points for doing those in public!!! >

When I do this my Grandpa calls it ice cream soup >

Heck yeah it is.  Team soup baby. >

I mash and swirl mine with a spoon round and round till it starts to get a gelato like consistency, its my meme version of we have gelato at home >

Sounds good. >

I pop mine in the microwave for just a few seconds to make the outside melty. I’ve caught so much crap from people about this, I’m relieved I’m not the only one who prefers the melty good stuff >

Save yourself the effort and just put your ice cream in the fridge instead of the freezer >

Downvote bc I agree. It's soooo good >

I prefer to wait until the ice cream melts to about cool gloopy cream levels. Perfection >

That's just a milkshake in a bowl 😭 >

I drink your milkshake >

I read this as: "Mashing up potato until it becomes a drinkable milkshake is better than eating hard ice cream"
And felt temporarily violated >

We always called it ice cream soup as kids. >

Have you tried eating with a spoon? Or soft serve? >

Well milkshakes bring the boys to the yard so this tracks. >

And eaten with a teaspoon >

yessss >

Absolutely agree! >

This is the true way. Hand mixing ice-cream so it's just a few steps above extra thick milkshake just changes the flavor somehow and it's definitely for the better. >

Yuck.  I find the texture of melted ice cream disgusting. It’s the reason I never liked egg nog…it’s like drinking a cup of melted ice cream. >

Literally exactly what I do. Love it >

I don't want my ice cream to be drinkable, but I prefer it to have the consistency of soft serve so that I don't have to chew it. For that reason I normally loathe ice cream with chunks of stuff in it. >

Not wrong. That’s a thing I do as well. >

Sounds like you need to invest in a blender >

This is true. With Milo mixed in with it. >

I like to throw it in the microwave for a few seconds >

I used to always do that when I was a kid. >

Take my upvote for belonging here >

I used to make ice cream soup all the time as a kid. Personally I had more of a whipping (like whipped cream) style of soupifaction, but if the end result is the same more power to ya >

I have very sensitive teeth... I just don't chew ice cream... who tf is chewing their ice cream?? >

Put a bit of seltzer in it. Yum >

Mike it,stir it. Be happy as fuck. >

Finally, I’m not alone. My family calls me heathen when I do this, but I know I’m not alone! >

I especially like doing this when I'm trying to save the little candies for last, cause it makes it easier to seperate them from the ice cream 😋 >

Yes and no. I like the lumpy slushy in between. especially with ben and  Jerry ice cream. Sooo fucking good >

I prefer to let my Frosty from Wendy's thaw to chocolate milk. It tastes like Oberweiss Chocolate milk to me. >

same >

Just bite it >

I prefer the middle ground. Put solid ice cream in my mouth and let it melt there before swallowing. >

Sounds like your teeth need therapy. They’re so sensitive. >

yummy... I even once used to do that put I put crackers in the ice-cream and it became crunchy cracker with soft ice-cream... The best. >

You have weak teeth, I can sink my incisors into ice cream and not even shiver >

I usually add some milk to my bowl of ice cream and mix it up until it’s soft. >

This is what I do at this local buffet place. Get a good mix of chocolate, strawberry and green tea and then mix it all together and drink. One of these days I'm gonna get banned from the place for making everyone else gag >

I used to literally make ice cream soup. I would take Oreos, or nilla wafers and mash them up in the bottom of a bowl, dump a pint of ice cream on top and Thor sit in the microwave. Once it was mostly melted I would pour chocolate syrup on it and add some real whipped cream. >

One thing I really like to do is put ice cream like cookies and cream or cookie dough in a mug, add a bit of milk and then put in the microwave for 10 or so seconds.
Then add a spoonful of chocolate powered and stir it all up. Tada! Chocolate cookies and cream "mikshake" without having to use a blender. >

I call it stirring my ice cream. People give me funny looks when I do it but my mom does it and she would do it for me when I was a kid. It tastes better that way >

I only do that to vanilla ice cream >

I put mine in the microwave for about 30 seconds. I love the ice cream islands floating in a sea of warm ice cream. >

8 year old me agrees with this unpopular opinion. Current me fully disagrees with 8 year old me, and you. >

I mostly agree. I put my ice cream in a glass and pour milk or soda over it. I eat some as I slowly mash/mix it into a shake. For me this also works as portion control because I put more in a dish when I eat it that way. >

I Stan with you >

I think you need to go to the dentist. >

This isn't an opinion at all. It's a personal preference due to pain. >

Hard ice cream is best.  Right out of the carton.
If it hurts, it’s not your teeth.  It’s your nerves isn’t it? >

why does anyone even fucking bite ice cream. just get a spoon full on your tongue and swish away. Or bite it off with just your lips, its ice cream not beef jerky >

I put ice cream in a cup, add a little bit of milk and moosh it all around. Soooo good >

not an unpopular opinion >

Agreed, but you have to also add a spoonful of peanut butter before you make it all soft >

Can't wait till tomorrow when the "If you don't eat ice cream as a large cold block, you don't like ice cream" post appears >

This + seltzer water is the superior float >

I like it both ways >

Add a little booze to it too.  Some cherry hearing on vanilla or creme de cacoa on a chocolate is excellent >

get a hot spoon and press down on the hard ice cream until it melts a bit. Then dip you ice cream in ice cream >

Did an 11 year old write this? >

I always made this when I was younger, I called it ice cream soup. >

Omg I'm happy I'm not the only one who does this. Got my boyfriend to start doing it too. It doesn't make sense but it just tastes better. >

It’s not just the teeth. It also numbs the taste buds. Texturally too, the creaminess of partly or wholly melted ice cream is superior to frozen, out of the scoop balls of ice cream. >

What kind of nice restaurant has ice cream? >

Stay away from me >

Agree with this, but also it depends. If I have a tiny bit of ice cream I like to savor it with the smallest little scoops, which I can only do if it still holds some shape. But if I have a big ass bowl of neapolitan? Yeah, I’m mashing it tf up >

You're close
Letting it melt so you've got the melty part AND the still hard part in the same bite is the best >

Depends on the ice-cream really,is it choclate milk thingy? No thanks i'd not eat milk. Orange flavoured? Oh boy yeah gimme that juicy tangy liquid (the liquid actually tastes better than the ice-cream) >

i keep mine as cold as possible but mix it with a spoon til its like a firm soft serve. i dont understand people who eat it straight from the carton unmixed! >

Do y'all lick or bite the ice cream? I realised I bite and chew ice cream. I also always eat my burger upside down, so the top bun is on the bottom. >

OK, I 100% agree with what you just said, but what psychopath bites into ice cream in the first place?! >

Ice cream is delicious. 
Milk shakes are yummy. 
Anything in between is really good too. 
Don't know what's unpopular here. >

A couple of scoops into a cup, some milk, mash it and mix it by hand.
I call it a Lazy Milkshake. >

I disagree. 
I like it hard. The harder the better. >

God I'm not sure what happened to you op but take my upvote. >

Just microwave it. >

My fiance puts it through the microwave for like 10 seconds. I thought it was weird til I tried it. She mixes in diced fruit too. Delicious. >

This drove my dad nuts when I was a kid. 'JUST EAT YOUR ICE CREAM!' >

At that point, shouldn't you just order a milkshake? Don't get me wrong, hard ice cream is the worst, but near liquid ice cream is also not an enjoyable ice cream experience. >

I’ve been pouring a little bit of soda (1/4-1/2 cup of cherry pepsi/Dr, Pepper), scraping it against the ice cream until it’s the consistency of a thick slushy, and thoroughly enjoying not having diabetes (yet). >

You’re saying milkshakes are unpopular? >

When I was a kid I always used to mash up ice cream to make my own "soft serve" just tasted so much better that way xD >

It’s called guapa >

I like to put ice cream in the microwave for little bit, makes it so much better >

Amen >

Rich, thick, dense ice cream is the best.  Shakes are good too but don’t hit the same way unless they are also rich and thicc. >

That's how Rob McElhenny gained weight so fast for that one season of IASIP. He realized it's faster to drink calories than to eat them. >

This is the way >

I mean, aren't you just supposed let the ice cream melt on your tongue rather than your teeth doing the work? Don't get me wrong, I also sometimes what you do but just curious >

Ice cream soup, if you will >

YES >

you are not alone my friend.  i microwave my ice cream until its soft and soupy.  wont eat it any other way.  this is the way >

Did you just type out “OWWWW.” >

I used to microwave it >

you may need to floss more often, sounds like your gums are weak as fuck.
ice cream is not even close to cold enough for discomfort. last time i ordered a cocktail there was too much ice so i just chomped a few cubes straight up. 
fix your oral health, mate >

This is why I put my ice cream in the microwave. >

You don't bite ice cream, you lick it or let it melt in your mouth, another method that I do, take my spoon warm it up with my mouth and let it melt the ice cream, ofc, it's better if you have your own pint of ice cream, otherwise, let the ice cream sit for awhile outside of the freezer, then take the scoop and serve in a bowl, My favorite way to eat ice cream is to put it in my mug and mix with some juice or soda. I find it strange if you mash the ice cream up, i do understand the sensitive teeth, but we have soft serve for that, don't make it a soup because that defeats the purpose of ice cream, my friend, I'm afraid that your just drinking milk eggs and cream at that point. Take my upvote, oh strange one. >

I add chunks of ice to make my ice cream cooler. Also adds a nice crunch. It’s called ice cream for a reason. >

Yesssss.
 That's how I've always eaten my ice cream mash it up into a bowl and either drink it Or make it soft enough to were it looks like soft serve. >

Microwave it for like 10 seconds. Still cold but now it’s malleable into a better version of ice cream >

Worst take ive ever seen >

Then why not just get a milk shake? >

I 100% agree! I also add milk to it and mix/mash it to oblivion to create the perfect, evenly tasting ice cream mash. Texture(really non texture?) is nice as it's all the same. Also it's easier to find the brownies, cookies, etc in the mash lol >

Mix it with a splash of milk too >

Called that a monkey mash growin up. No idea where it came from. >

I do this when ice cream is served with cake.  Mash and mix til it's like this cold thick cake n icing, ice cream mush. Bottoms up! >

Put it in the microwave for 30 seconds >

​
i always let my ice cream melt in the fridge then i drink it like a shake. Good to know Im not alone..I hate it hard and cold. >

Sweetness perception is highly temperature dependent, your melting ice cream literally tastes sweeter. >

Oh man this is nostalgic. My dad would get vanilla ice cream and put chocolate syrup on it. He'd wait a bit then mix it up until it was like a frostee 🤤 >

Both good, also for ice cream regular I just bite with lips why would u bite with teeth? Anyways milkshake also good might be better than both. >

Omg. I knew I couldn’t be the only person who does that! It’s why I like ice cream cones from those soft serve machines. That’s basically what I’m trying to achieve by mixing my ice cream over and over in a bowl. >

As a fellow degenerate I have to agree upvote >

That's called having sensitive teeth. Nothing to do with the ice cream lmao >

I will die on this hill too, i used to microwave ice cream until it was soup. 
Fucking delicious. >

I think something is wrong with your teeth friend >

Guess you have sensitive teeth. I can eat ice cream both ways. >

Not an unpopular opinion >

I still do this, not all the time but it always fun to make ice cream soup. Just the other night I have my son ice cream and it proceeded to make ice cream soup. 
“Hey daddy look I made ice cream soup!” Made me smile. >

even easier - try microwaving ice cream, it's what actors do to pack on the pounds quickly for roles >

You do know that you don’t have to chew ice cream, right? You can just lick it, and generally what you’re licking is already on the melt side. >

I thought that when I was 10 as well >

This guy gets it! >

Root beer floats are my favorite. You can mash up the ice-cream and create this awesome mixture with the root beer. >

My teeth are made of steel, I feel nothing. >

You realize places like Marble Slab exist and fold the ice cream over and over to warm it up right? Super cold ice cream we can't actually taste as well. Its should be much closer to soft serve consistency. >

I do this, but add milk. My dad did it growing up because they were too poor so they had to ration it 😂 >

I have sensitive teeth too, but also have quirks with food textures so I abhor the idea of letting my ice cream melt and then still eating it. It needs to be firm-ish. I just eat my ice cream cones with my tongue mostly until I get to the cone part. 
If I’m eating out of a bowl with a spoon then I just keep the ice cream away from my teeth. 
Popsicles get trickier to eat without using your teeth so I tend to avoid those. 
Do you actually prefer the texture of ice cream soup or do you solely do it because of your sensitive teeth? >

yes. I microwave my ice cream, throw in a splash of milk and smush until it’s the right consistency. I also microwave my jello too though which some people think it’s more odd >

Yes. Soft serve consistency is better. Ice cream out of a machine is the same >

Here’s mine: ice cream and milkshakes aren’t that good >

Agree. It’s not the temperature that bothers me it’s the consistently. I don’t like cones because I don’t want to lick it like a dog and biting is messy. In a dish is best, and muddled with a spoon a little so it’s creamy but not too melty, is perfect. >

I don’t like when it becomes soup but like when it’s soft but kinda hard, like mashed potatoes then it’s good >

can't stand melted ice-cream. get my upvote >

I usually let my ice cream sit in the bowl for about 5-10 min before eating to get it creamier >

Just say you like milkshakes >

This kind of basic opinions being the top upvoted,  are the reason why there is a "No meta posts" rule >

YES!!! I also recommend ice cream in a mug, then add milk to the top. It forms crystals on the ice cream, and as you work it into the milk it becomes a nice smooth shake. >

I am the opposite, if it's not harder than a fucking brick then I don't want it >

I used to do this ad a kid but I domt eat ice cream anymore.
But I would always stir it in my bowl until it was smooth like a milk shake >

Kys/j >

This is how I have always eaten hard ice cream.  I mash it up until it becomes soft serve.lol >

Hard ice cream is better because I like to bite my ice-cream.
