secrets of coldstone

Ok, so basically if you don't know already... I used to work at Coldstone. Throughout my 21 months working there I have learned some things about coldstone and some things I get irritated with by coldstone customers. So for this blog I shall list all the things I learned about icecream and anything about coldstone in general.

1. Coldstone icecream has TONS of callories. I'm pretty sure that a LOVE IT size with ONE topping has about 500 calories in it. Rediculous... I know. That's why I rarely took home icecream when I could.
2. Servers don't like it when an adult orders a kid size. Many coldstones won't serve kid sizes to adults, but ward does.
3. To make your own cake, order in at least 24 hours in advance at ward. Some other places require three days. Ask for one layer of cake, but with extra icecream. In my opinion, there's too much cake to taste the REALLY good icecream.
4. We usually give out samples on Friday nights and Saturday. We'll go around to the theatres, but usually once we travel that distance half of it is melted.
5. If you and your friend is getting the same type of icecream order a GOTTA HAVE IT and have it split into two cups. It's a LOT cheaper.
6. Make sure you get ONE topping. i mean c'mon the first one is FREE. you can also have the topping on the side. I like to get gummy bears to eat on the side. OR if you don't want to be that sinful take a piece of banana.
7. Shakes has probably the most calories because there are six scoops of icecream in the love it size drink.
8. The smoothies are really good and made out of fruits and juices. I'd recommend the "2 to mango".
9. WARD has the CHEAPEST prices out of all the coldstones in the state
10. Plus Ward won the GOLDEN SPADE. OO-AHHH. if you look against the wall at the cash register you'll see ALL of our awards. It might not make a big deal, but in coldstone lingo, it's pretty big if you earn one. That means best cleanliness, best customer service, and best products (everything labeled with dates).
