In the last 2 years, I bought a mattress and boxspring from them for my bed, and I am partial to their Biltmore Hotel collection sheets.

I do!! It is my go to for most clothing, either in Raleigh or here in Alabama. I will say it is not as good as it was before the buy-out, but still for pants or shoes, etc, it is my first stop.

Is this the “Simons says dips thiss” place?
Small Sliders is coming to area. Are they any good?
“soft serve vanilla with 24 dipping sauces”
I’m trying to wrap my head around… whatever the hell this means hahaha. Do you dip your soft serve ice cream into another sauce? HUH???

I don’t know. But I gotta go see how they put cotton candy on top of the ice cream. That seems to be even harder to imagine than dipping sauces.

Yeah, pre-assembled for you. You can choose an optional “core” like caramel or marshmallow, surrounded by frozen custard that tastes like nothing, that they then dip into a sickeningly sweet flavored chocolate shell of your choosing. If you’re feeling extra cute/rich you can add toppings.

Jake it’s just this lol.
They had this kind of thing when I played little league in like 1990.
It’s a coating on your ice cream, not like dunking chicken nuggets in BBQ sauce.

Ok. The visual aide helps immensely. I was literally picturing people dipping globs of soft serve ice cream into puddles of mystery “dipping sauce”

Yep, I knew you were!
I think we should have a “ice cream” meet-up. It’s gotta be a hoot even if the ice cream isn’t very good. And I still don’t get the cotton candy dip…that one seems really out there.

That’s not a bad idea for the Summer photo walk. We could end it at some ice cream spot!

Take a Hillsborough St. & NC State walk and stop for Ice Cream at Talley Student Center for Howling Cow! It’s amazing ice cream and affordable!

Two Roosters is the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Also why are people who have never been to the dip place shitting on it?

Oh dang, this is gonna be dangerous for me. I’m a sucker for a fresh baked soft pretzel. I’ve always wanted to bring the franchise Philadelphia Pretzel Factory down here, but this could be better.
