Spring is in the air. The birds are chirping, the days last longer, and the school year is slowly, but surely winding down. There are so many wonderful things that come along with this time of year- flowers blooming, sun shinning, shorts-wearing. But Long Islanders know that the real reason spring is so great is because it means Ralph's Italian ices opens once again. Our cravings for the delicious, sweet treat will finally be satisfied and all will, once again, be right in the world. By this time in your life you should have your order down pat (I always go for a small Red Velvet). You can always tell a non-native by seeing if it takes them more than 15 seconds to place their order. So what does your go-to Ralph's flavor say about you?
Blue Hawaii
You don't like change. This is the flavor everyone got in 5th grade when everyone loved blue raspberry anything and you haven't changed since. While your friends have grown and experimented with new flavors, you refuse to leave behind your tired and true blue friend, no matter how many blue tongues it may leave behind. Creds to you for your dedication and reliability.
Cookies 'N Cream
You're like to stick to what you know. You know you like Cookies 'N Cream regular ice cream so you figure this must be pretty much the same. You don't feel like exerting the energy to trying out new flavors. You've toyed with the idea of trying a flavor that they don't make regular ice cream in, but then you chickened out.
Peanut Butter Candy Bar Fudge
You're super sweet and have a ton of energy. You have got a major sweet tooth that can only be satisfied by this conception of peanut butter, candy, and fudge, and you probably get hot fudge on top for good measure. You realize that trying to be health conscious at Ralph's is like trying to be a vegetarian at a BBQ- it just doesn't work. Kudos to you for going all out my friend.
Iced Tea
You're mature. You don't want all that sugary crap. You like to keep it simple with a frozen version of this very "Mom-like" drink. While you could probably make this at home by just putting a pitcher if iced tea in the freezer and then blending it, somehow Ralph's just does it better.
Vanilla Chip
You are the definition of plain Jane. The unknown frightens you and too many flavors at once just confuses you. With the vanilla ice you can be sure you won't embarrass yourself by getting chocolate all over your face and the chips give you just a teensy bit of flavor, but that's all you need. You ooze class.
Birthday Cake
You are a child at heart. When you bake, you end up eating more of the batter than you actually put into the oven. You love the sweetness of Birthday Cake and the colorful sprinkles in it make it a thousand times better. You're the life of the party and never stop laughing.
Rainbow
You're a true patriot. The 4th of July is your favorite holiday, and you use any excuse to wear your American flag shorts. Even though it may not be the most flavorful, you would consider it an act of treason if you didn't order this Red, White, and Blue classic ice. We need more citizens like you, my friend.
Stop drooling onto your keyboard and go get yourself some Ralph's!
