Students with a sweet tooth have something new to celebrate. This week, the cafeteria introduced Honey Ice Cream by Ollie B’s, offering six classic flavors for just $1.25 a cup. To see if the buzz was deserved, the news staff conducted an official taste test, and the results are in.
The flavors available are vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, root beer float, and cherry chocolate chip—all made with simple ingredients like milk, cream, sugar, and honey. Each flavor was rated by multiple staff members and then averaged for a final score out of 10.
Vanilla came out on top with an impressive 9.3 average, praised for its smooth texture and rich honey flavor that didn’t overpower the classic taste.
Strawberry followed with a 6.5, earning points for freshness but losing some for consistency.
Chocolate landed close behind at 5.6, described as good but not as bold as expected.
The more adventurous flavors had mixed results. Root Beer Float scored a 5.3, with some tasters loving the uniqueness while others found it a little odd or “syrupy” tasting. Cherry chocolate chip rounded out the list at 4.6, with opinions split on the cherry flavor, some not being able to put their finger on whether it tasted like artificial or natural cherry.
Overall, the staff agreed that for $1.25, Ollie B’s Honey Ice Cream is a solid addition to the cafeteria menu, especially if you’re a vanilla fan. Whether you’re grabbing one during lunch or want to try something new, this frozen treat might be worth the change in your pocket.
