We used to start morning meetings with an icebreaker question at my old job. A friend had just watched “You’re the Worst” and was inspired to say, “raise your hand if you don’t wash your legs in the shower.”
About half of us raised our hands. The non-washers insisted that gravity caused the soap to wash your legs and feet. We leg washers were not convinced, and a little grossed out, but we were all really surprised to learn the other side of the argument.
Usually they were pretty innocuous. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter, is a hot dog a sandwich, is cheesecake a pie, Marvel or DC, Star Wars or Star Trek, The Stones or The Beatles, etc.
Real ice cream cake actually has at least one layer of cake in it. Not the stupid ice cream cakes that’s just ice cream shaped like a cake. That’s just an imposter.
The only ice cream cake I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot, my in-laws love the stuff) has a layer of cookie crumbles inside. I’ve never seen a single one that has any sort of cake in it whatsoever. I also did a google before posting my comment and not a single recipe I found had cake in it either. So I’m very sorry, but no, ice cream cake does not (typically) have cake in it.
It’s not that fussy, you just need the freezer space and a plan. Slightly softened ice cream is easy to layer on and picking the right frosting keeps it from cracking. (I used a sweet marscapone) Totally worth it, btw.
I voted pie too. It’s basically custard in a pie tin or crust. The other side was either hung up on the name, or determined eggs were the defining ingredient rather than flour.
Up here, in Wyoming, it gets so cold and dry that if you don’t scrub the dead skin off
your legs regularly, your skin will crack. It can get very painful.

“Used to start meetings with icebreakers”
Did they stop after the leg washing question or was it something even more controversial?
Usually they were pretty innocuous. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter, is a hot dog a sandwich, is cheesecake a pie, Marvel or DC, Star Wars or Star Trek, The Stones or The Beatles, etc.
Hotdog is a taco, cheesecake is a form of toast
I don’t understand, pigs in blankets are wrapped in bacon, they should be a type of salad. Why would you use pastry?
Who says cheesecake isn’t a pie? It sure as hell isn’t cake.
Yeah, cheesecake is cake in exactly the same way that ice cream cake is cake, in that it isn’t at all even slightly close to being cake.

They’re a thing, people generally just don’t make them anymore because it’s super fussy.

It is atypical at this point. But that doesn’t make it any less real, or what I believe an ice cream cake should be.
I dunno I think I’ve had cheesecake in a crust only once before but I’ve seen it in cakes a lot. Saying it’s a pie sounds outlandish to me.
The only way to solve this is to eat the cheesecake.
Amen
It sure as hell isn’t pie either.
It’s not, but if I’ve got to pick one…
Which I now realize I didn’t have to.

At this point smooth or crunchy peanut butter is so much of a cliché it actively bores me.
might wanna see a doctor about that
Some people may enjoy getting head from communist Pac-Man.
Who also had a fetish for armpits

Maybe try living in a place that doesn’t require regular skin sacrifices?
That has nothing to do with dry skin on your legs.
I find that the shower is the most convenient place to wash my legs.
Followed very unclosely by the bidet.
I’m just wearing pants all day, how dirty can my leg possibly get?
Showering is to remove dead skin cells, as well.
I prefer to let them rest where they fell in battle as a warning to any who would oppose my rule!
Counter Point: the [ziti|grape|M&M etc] that tries to flee from the bowl gets eaten FIRST; RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
How rough of a scrubbing action does the skin want?
…OK apparently not much, thought I might see washcloths recommended and so on
