' OreoC Legem | By JILL HANCOCK Copy OMk Chief w Perhaps it wan't long after scholars began debating the best way to eat an Oreo cookie that someone tired of the quibbling over whether to pull the two chocolate orbs apart and start licking the I vanilla cream inside or to just bite in. And perhaps this someone ' got so mad that he crumbled his Oreo ? right into a dish . of vanilla ice cream. And I perhaps he then stirred the concoction, stumbling upon one of the greatest inventions known to man: Oreo Cookie Ice Cream. However, Pat Patrone. | manager of a local restaurant that sells the delectable dish, said his South Main Street establishment began serving Oreo ice cream when an ice cream mix salesman r, suggested the new flavor fivft vpars ntfn . Patrone said Stuffy's, 629 Main St., sells about 15 flavors of homemade ice cream, including the favorite, Oreo. Visible in the front window of the restaurant is the ice cream machine, a conglomeration Of Steel that simiilt.aru><niialv grinds, churns and freezes the mix and flavorings. THE MACHINE, which is operated by one person, is "one continuous churning. It's real cold and just freezes it (the mix and flavorings) all (Wluif ?? J J uu iv^vuici | ?

And of all the ice cream Stuffy't alls, "75 percent is Oreo/'t .id Patrone. He attributed the overwhelming popularity of the creamy, crunchy, cold stuff ' tn tho font "iKrif "T*'? xiv iuvv ukii| At a UlllljUt?, it tastes good and it's probably a fad." DURING the peak ice cream season, Patrone said, Stuffy's makes ice cream "at least four days out of the week." He said the "season" includes "August and September and especially u/hpn sphnnl cfnrfo ? ?*!! ??? ^vaaWA MitAA U9 Up Ulllil the end of October." Other popular flavors irelude pina colada, rum raisin, chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, pistachio, black cherry and the old stand-bys: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Prices range from 50 cents for a single scoop to $15 for two gallons. Students can even have Oreo ice cream deliv?rpH tn their dorm rooms. "We deliver it, and we deliver a lot of it," he said. Patrone said many customers . buy Oreo in quantity. "A guy came in just the other day and bought a two-gallon bucket of it to take home with him." He said some students buy for i dorm hall parties also. i I GISTS 1 STION COMPANY,! ing Oil and Gas Hi . . A > > U.

He likes it so much, in fact, that 4'I come in here (the restaurant) and eat it in the mornings when no one else is around. "I take it home to my parents a lot too. They always have it at their house," he said. One student who frequently visits Stuffy's for a scoop or two of her favorite ice cream said, "I love Oreos." Junior Wanda Evans said, "And I love Oreos 'cause I love chocolate, but not too much chocolate. And it (an Oreo) has got the good little vanilla in the middle." ANOTHER student said that after spending spring semester 1961 in England, she couldn't wait for some (PUNDH ini: / ne ?_ ream, suHrHotobyatriowai Oreo ice cream. "That (Stuffy's) was the first place I headed for when I got to Columbia," said senior Jeannie Ralston. However, when she asked for a cup of Oreo, the girl at the counter told her it was newly frozen and too hard to dip. Ralston said mild panic set in. "I told her, 'But I came all the way from England for some! said Ralston. After a display of understanding and elbow grease by the ice cream saleswoman, Ralston said she walked out of the restaurant, cup of Oreo in hand. But what happens when you eat so much Oreo you tire of it? Oreo lovers, never fear. That's when you turn to Mint Oreo. 3m uummmm UBEBBOBS KS BESTflURRDT fe <J$ and SRLOOn IgpfiOt*%U%%WijWgi?" ?'M %%%-%%%%%%%%%*%%Sa : I!
