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)

Patrone said Stuffy's is
"about the only place in
Columbia that handles it
(Oreo ice cream), and the
reason for that is we have to
make it ourselves."
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

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

PATRON E likes Oreo ice
cream, he said. 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

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.
