Ice Cream Served on Grilled Corn on the Cob
(Photo: Dominique Ansel)
Sure, it sounds like a random idea. But it's not. Chef Dominique Ansel, the inventor of the cronut and the chocolate chip milk shot, knows what he's doing. His research led him to the invention of Crème de la Corn. It's made with an ear of unshucked corn grilled with butter and soy sauce. On top is a swirl of Ansel's own Caramel Sweet Corn-flavored soft serve ice cream which is itself topped by caramel and a few kernels of corn.
What does it taste like? Kay of Rocket News 24 tried Ansel's latest confection. She says:
The caramel and corn in the ice cream were certainly a winning and sweet combination! And along with the corn jam, the ice cream was like a cold, frozen form of pure corn and sweetness — certainly a great treat for the hot summer.
But what’s brilliant about this Crème de la Corn is that it’s not over when you’ve finished eating the ice cream. You have the grilled corn cob on the bottom which is essentially an edible ice cream cone!

have a look at some of the other improv everywhere stuff, they make it their mission to cheer people up and add a little extra enjoyment to their lives.
they once came all the way to my town in the UK for a stunt. and i didn't find out until later, and apparently barely anyone turned up to help, compared the the hundreds that have joined in in the past over in the US.
However, I do have to condone anything that makes so many people smile.
Case in point: my husband and Zach were in DC during "Capitol Pride" weekend. They were waiting for a metro train, and when it stopped, Zach started high-fiving people as they came off the train, and others as they got on. Soon it became a party, with a large group of lesbians cheering everyone who got a high five.
My husband said it was very cool. :-)
It's not like the "germs" bore through your skin and release their toxins into your blood stream! :D
I set up this facebook group last year and we have almost 400 members! It's spreading the word of Escalator High Fiving! It's the future!

or just search Escalator High Fiving in groups.
Please have a look if you're that way inclined!

As far as people having less germs on their butts or genitalia, I imagine neither alternative would have gone over quite as well as just using his hands.
