Our wooden spoons were always those paddles with no designated business end. We used to lick them so very clean, then use them as "flips". We'd rest them on something like a pencil, put a pea or similar on the "down" end and press suddenly on the "up" end to flip the pea as far as we could. We still have the cups now and they are still cardboard, but the ice cream is not the same. These days it's reduced fat stuff.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-80863500441760309932013-06-29T21:35:30.759-06:002013-06-29T21:35:30.759-06:00I remember those too.
