I think that these are great. The cold-ness hits your mouth and refreshes you; it is so good I could scream. I think the packaging is great and love the logo. The packaging should come in different sizes. The texture is great. I love how it sticks to your tongue and melts in your mouth ,- it's ,'truly great.' This product is necessary. If they opened a store nearby, kids would go all the time. This is truly the best Ice-Scream I've tasted.

Who wakes up in the morning and decides to transform ice cream into tiny balls of melt-in-your-mouth cream? Dippin' Dots! Although the cookies ,'n' cream flavor looks like plant fertilizer, it really does taste like ice cream, However, the consumer does lose the effect of flavor combination ,- any added pieces (like crumbled cookie) are separate and do not easily mix with the dots. But the dots do their job; they are futuristic ice cream that maintains flavor and even tastes good!

Mike Perkins, 8^th grade:

These are great. They taste like cookie dough, just without the salmonella. They look cool and taste even better. However, I do think that you could improve the packaging. I think this food item will sell well because of its uniqueness. The world needs something like this. It should come with a better utensil to eat it with.

At first glance, the tiny pellets look like freeze-dried ice cream, a rare treat for astronauts far from dessert. To counter the space age appearance, the packaging uses soft friendly colors. Consumers may be tentative toward eating something space age and out of the norm. It remains hard on the tongue, then quickly melts to a tacky chew, then to a melty, creamy taste ,- almost exactly like melted vanilla ice cream. A square piece of cookie dough awaited my approval amidst a sea of milky pebbles, Cookie dough? Not anything that resembles the characteristics of dough; the texture doesn't melt, needs to be bitten, tastes of frost bitten strawberries in a hail of sugar and flour. The chocolate flavor has apparently returned to the Inca in South America. The idea is revolutionary, a hail of ice cream -- although better used as hail than ice cream.

Dippin' Dots packaging is sort of attractive. The taste is amazing! Cookies ,'n' Cream is very good. I would eat this any time of the day. The texture is very nice; it's so good when you feel it melt in your mouth. It should be put out on the market in a second!
