Founder’s Favorite: Sorry, Cold Stone Creamery fans, but your favorite ice cream place has CSPI screaming. The group called out the Founder’s Favorite combo as “X-treme.” Here’s, er, the scoop: It starts with a 14-ounce softball-sized mound of ice cream placed in a chocolate waffle cone bowl, then topped with pecans, brownie pieces, fudge and caramel.
What, no shredded coconut? Or as CSPI asks, where are the Gummi Bears, Oreos or Reese’s Pieces?
No matter. The Founder’s Favorite checks in at 1,740 calories, 48 grams of saturated fat and even 4 grams of trans fat (four times the healthy amount in a day). Ask for extra spoons and find some people. The dessert equates to five single-scoop ice cream cones
