Ice Cream Shop's New "Blood" Flavor is Big Hit

Darryl and Bobie Hannah’s ice cream shop near town square recently unveiled their latest ice cream flavor, “Blood”, to much fanfare.

“I just thought, you know when you bite your lip and it starts bleeding and you kind of like the taste of the blood? What if that was ice cream?” mused Bobie Hannah, 64, longtime owner of the Hamsterdam Hill institution Bobie’s Treats.

Townsfolk have been coming in droves ever since the new flavor was introduced.

“I thought the whole idea was gross, but then I tried a free sample and I just couldn’t stop! Once you try a bite or two you go into a blind, feral type of tunnel vision. It’s neat!” remarked Rodney Cabwab, 15, of West Ham Hill, before eating his recently purchased Blood Cone in two vicious gulps.

Locals have started lining up for the new flavor well before dawn, despite the small shop not opening until 11AM.

“I haaad a job. Didn’t need it, didn’t need it. Gotta get up to get here, you know?” stammered Drak Yorbin, 23, who was first in line at 4AM for his next Blood Cone. “It’s just so, metally and, SMOOTH tasting,” continued Yorbin, while hugging himself and licking his lips, “ I feel like I have more ENERGY with it. Like I can run a marathon, or eat a deer raw.”

Local police have reported a number of strange activities since the Hannahs released their hit flavor, including many more people wearing long cloaks and walking around in the middle of the night.

“Usually the night shift is pretty boring. Small town, and all that. But recently, I’ve had dozens of folks out every night, muttering things about castles, or asking me when the ice cream shop opens. I’ve talked to a fella a few moments ago I said ‘get on home, it’s 3AM!’ but he yelled something at me about immortality and I left it at that.”
