No. Just no. You don't name an ice cream flavor "fudgy wudgy." That is wrong.
I went to the States today (again!) and we went for ice cream. I only really ever order chocolate ice cream, but the only chocolate they had was called.... Fudgy Wudgy. So of course I am standing in line trying to think of ways to order it without actually having to say the name. And finally I come up with a genius idea just to ask:
"What is your chocolatiest flavor?"
Of course they said, "Fudgy Wudgy."
"Sounds good."
FTW!
My idea didn't backfire until we had our ice cream and I thought I'd be funny, so I asked,
"So, you get a lot of people who are embarrassed to order that flavor?" (insert "I are funny" smile)
By then the two cashiers were having a conversation without me so I just stood there awkwardly until I realized they hadn't heard me. Then a tumbleweed blew in so I left.
