He Says: C-C-Combobreaker!!
My brother and I do a video game podcast with a rotating cast of friends called Combobreaker. We recently reached a minor milestone, our 25th episode. In honor of this event, there was Carvel ice cream cake complete with the Combobreaker “CB” logo. I assume there was corn syrup in this cake as it is made of entirely of ice cream, crunchies, whipped cream topping and food coloring. There’s also that black, edible paper stuff that serves as the background for the logo. It does not pain me to say it: I ate’d that shit without hesitation. Smack in the middle of HFCS Awareness Month no less.
Lo, the cake atop my MOTU 8pre:
That’s Dan’s feet. And now, a closer upper of the cake. Look at that edible blackness!
Followed by the gang:
And lastly, a multimedia account of the momentous occasion:
Notice the presence of the Frijoles Negros. Still, I cannot release them from their canned prison.

Woah! It’s all chocolate. That’s nice. You should add that it was made fresh by you cause you know the owna.
Also, it did have corn syrup, but not high fructose corn syrup. I checked the box in your freezer Saturday.
Congratulations on the 25th anniversary milestone.
Dan’s head is shiny.

Great cake! I’ve always wanted to get a crazy cake, like one of those ones on the show Ace of Cakes, but I don’t know if I could cut into it!

Also, this really shows the “male perspective” as no one discussed calories or asked for a small piece!
