The Twelve Tribes of Blizzrael

Tonight I continued my banana theme with an Oreo and banana combination.  This was a great ABC, and I think it would be an excellent entry-level option for those who are looking for an introduction.  While there were some solid Oreo chunks in there, this ABC did suffer from some sub-par mixing (they were incredibly busy at the Old Saybrook DQ tonight so I won't hold it against them), and I would have liked a more even banana/Oreo ratio. 

Another big development is that I went for a mini size instead of my usual small.  This was my first experience with the mini and I think I'll stick with it.  Maybe if I'm really hungry I'll get two separate minis to try to different ABCs in one outing.

Blizzkrieg Bop

Hello Blizzard fans.  I apologize for the lack of posts lately, but hopefully we'll be able to get our priorities straight and focus on consuming and reviewing ABCs for you.
I was lucky enough to have an Astounding Blizzard Combination delivered to me a couple days ago: chocolate ice cream, bananas, and Reese's cups.  Bananas have become a staple ingredient in my Blizzards these days, so much so that I almost can't imagine ordering one without.  The chocolate base brought the richness and made this a truly decadent experience.  With the Reese's I got a hint of salt, which is something I enjoy in a dessert and had heretofore been absent from my Blizzards

The only reason I'm stopping at a 9.5 on this one is my desire to leave a bit of room for improvement, although I'm not sure that's even possible.  For now, this is my hands down favorite, but of course the ABC team and I won't stop experimenting until all of the possibilities have been exhausted.
