From Baskin-Robbins Fun Facts:

• The favorite Baskin-Robbins® flavor of Bing Crosby and Justin Timberlake was, and is, Daiquiri Ice.

Mine too. I think the first time I had it, I was drawn to it by its pale green, almost glow-in-the-dark color. I asked for a sample and fell in love. My mom made sure it was alcohol-free, of course. I rarely got anything different for years. That sweet-sour flavor really hit the spot for some reason. I don’t go out of my way for a real daiquiri, so I guess my mother’s concerns were unfounded.

By the way, if your favorite flavor is French Vanilla, you might want to hit a 31 Flavors soon — they’re discontinuing it, along with four others. (Presumably regular all-American vanilla is still on the menu.)

Oh wait, what’s this?

• Famous former Baskin-Robbins® scoopers include presidential candidate and Illinois Senator Barack Obama, TV hosts Leeza Gibbons and Rosie O’Donnell, Chef Bobby Flay, actresses Julia Roberts, Taryn Manning and Chandra Wilson, actors Eric Dane and Randy Quaid and New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes.

I guess Mr. Obama hasn’t been keeping his former employers apprised of his current job title. Maybe he could just connect with them on LinkedIn.
