If you must put something in the trunk that is likely to spill, overflow, ooze, or make a mess is some way - the best place for it is in the hidden compartment under the trunk floor. That's where my chinese takeout goes just in case the wonton spills, etc.

Bottom line is you screwed up and your pissed about it and would rather blame some poor girl who gave you a generous portion of ice cream. Clean the trunk and learn a lesson.

Its worse than you think

Hi all -- visiting from Roadfly.

What SixBanger fails to realize is that he girl at the store, who he now hates, was actually trying to get his attention cause she thought he was cute and drove a great car.

She thought if she packed the ice cream container full he would appreciate getting a lot for his money and would remember her. Then, he would come back again.

Her little heart is going to be broken when she finds out her stunt backfired, and now you're mad at her and probably won't shop there again and she'll never see you any more and what she did was stupid, stupid, stupid...

SALMONELLA POISONING!!

Have you heard about their salmonella poisoning. Check out the links below. After finding out about this, I vowed never to go there again and came to the realization that Cold Stone is simply a glorified Dairy Queen. Pay almost $5 for a cup of half-melted ice cream with stale mix-ins (and it's extra for a cone)? I don't think so. I'm sticking to my Jamoca Almond Fudge and Pralines 'N Cream from Baskin-Robbins.

I feel bad for those kids that work at Cold Stone, they have to listen to a bunch of people who can't make up their minds, then they have to break a sweat chopping in all the mixins'. Looks labor intensive. Isn't there a machine that can mix in the twix?

Nothing wrong with working hard for their money.

...Then that sweat drips into the half-melted ice cream. They are even made to sing for tips as if they are monkeys. How demeaning. It's almost as bad as working at Hot Dog on a Stick, jumping up and down and sweating into the lemonade! Hey, now that I think about it, that must be Hot Dog's and Cold Stone's secret ingredient!

I forwarded this thread to the guy with the notorious exhaust set-up and he is having KAS manufacture an "extreme" ice cream holder for the trunk. Due to its extremeness, it is estimated to add 16.7456 hp.

What a......

you should have eaten the freakin' icre cream in the damn store - first you come up with the stupid idea of putting ice cream in the trunk, and have the cheek of putting the blame on someone else. Sounds like you are the type of person who goes through life blaming everyone else for your stupidity. Grow the hell up and take responsibility for your own actions. IDIOT!!!

I went to Cold Stone for the first time about a month ago. I threw a buck in the tip jar, and then they started singing, upon which I vowed to myself never to tip there again, just to save them the embaressment.

I was thinking the same thing, at least until someone put that webpage up. I have never seen this store, but it appears there are at least 10 in my immediate vicinity.

I still can't believe this post got so long.
