A gift-giver presented me with a pint of artisanal mint chip ice cream. That's what it said on the lid, "ice cream."

I opened it up and took a couple of bites. It tasted dreadful: weird and unappetizing.

Now I looked more carefully on the side of the container. That didn't say ice cream: it said "non-dairy frozen dessert." The principal ingredient was coconut cream. Oh, yuck.

A gift-giver presented the trash bin with a pint of ice cream.

I brought it home for him from my niece's. She had overbought ice cream. (She must have had a dozen pints.) The flavor I had was fine. The flavor I brought home was his favorite. My niece encouraged me to take it as she had purchased too much. My niece doesn't eat much herself but she has two teenage boys - I'd bet she never tried it herself and had just bought an assortment.
