The neighborhood ice cream shop - guarenteed to kill any diet...

Weapon # 1 -
It's a Mexican ice creamery - home made on the premises ice cream, sherberts, and ice pop bars, made with fresh ingredients - fruit - strawberries, raspberries, mango, lime, watermelon, pinapple, cantelope, guava, chimoy, sapota, kiwi, papaya, sweet corn nuts - coconut, walnuts, pistachios, peanuts, and various types and treatments of creams to give the customer 12 different ice cream flavors and 24 different sherberts, mmmm...

Weapon # 2 - fresh cold fruit salads and icee type fruit drinks, with fruit, honey, chili powder, coconut slivers, nuts, sprinkles, or granola added to taste on top of the fruit in the salad or drink...

Weapon # 3 - frozen dipped banana on a stick, fresh made waffle cones and waffle sticks dipped in chocolate (when they don't run out). Your choice of sprinkles added.

Weapon #4 - a small, selection of tasty snacky and generous tortas, tostadas, and hot cheetos/hot and stuffed Tostidos in the bag. Ice cold glass bottled "Mexican" Coke, Tab, Sprite, Pepsi, Squirt in addition to the standard selection of Jarritos and other Mexican soda brands.

Weapon # 5 - and the final killing blows - the mangoneada (mango ice cream, cube mangoes, chamoy, chili powder and their famous chocolate dipped straw) and the diablito (lime ice cream, mangos, chamoy, chili powder and the straw)

On a warm summer evening, you cannot resist this for a light evening meal, can you?

Oh Neveria Tocumbo, I hate it that you are within walking distance...yet not far enough to walk off the calories...

How the heck are you going to make it through the summer with those tasty offerings?

Take it from a towel--don't get high and go over there while you have the munchies.

Both overbloated, extremely fatty, chemical heavy ice cream - I just avoid going there.
