I recently went to Cold Stone to try the Boo Batter Ice Cream taco. While it was very good the size was very small especially compared to all the videos I’m seeing of people get them on the internet. Am I ordering the wrong thing or is there a way for to get access to the larger ones?

Update: Went to a different location and ended getting something a lot closer to what I expected / was advertised. Definitely seems to vary quite a lot from location to location. The first one I had was closer to one of those frozen mini tacos, this was a lot closer to normal taco size.

All in all very delicious, everyone should give it a try especially those that miss the OG Choco taco!

It was actually my wedding anniversary, and what was supposed to be a quick treat ended up costing almost $20 for a single ice cream.

​When I ordered, I asked how the toppings worked. The employee working behind the counter told me one topping came with the ice cream, and additional toppings were 99 cents. I asked him to put the normal allowed amount. He put 5 Reese's on, then asked how many brownies I wanted. When I asked how many were allowed, he literally said, "As many as you want." So I said three, and then accepted fudge when he offered it.

​I had no idea until I looked at the receipt that he was charging 99 cents per individual Reese's and brownie bite. He tacked on eight extra 99-cent charges without explaining that at all. Telling a customer "as many as you want" implies it's included, not that each piece costs extra.

​I paid on the spot because the ice cream was already made and I was caught off guard, but paying $20 for a single ice cream because of undisclosed per-piece fees feels completely deceptive. I've been there before years ago and really don't remember being charged this way. They in the past gave me like 3 or 4 Reese's as my first topping if I ordered a large and then charged me 99 c for the brownies and put one or two in and 99 c for the fudge. Is this normal and I just had nice people in the past?

Edited to add: the $20 ice cream is my rock bottom of being fat. Starting my diet tomorrow. 😂😭
