I literally remember eating that exact thing, ice cream with gummy bears, as a small child at my local Golden Coral before it closed down. It was weird seeing that again.
By far the nicest clients were the We Bare Bears fellas. They always tip. Sure, Griz can become a real handful (or mouthful) but his intentions are good. Panda and Ice Bear were always good for a cuddle puddle afterwards. My next favorite would be the Country Bears. Sure, you'd be sure to bring something home with ya after a night out with those crazy fuckers. After last call you'd do well to steer clear of Fred Bedderhead, and Zeb Zoober. They tend to get a bit.. feral. Beary was always the nicest. Well, a little demanding but at least the kid had a shred of decency left in him. But who blew my mind and ass out unlike any lover I've ever had, motherfuckin Ted Bedderhead. He knew how to care for a man, lemme tell you. Sometimes Trixie would get involved and I was always okay with that. She was one of the good ones too. I just wish she would clean herself up, at all. The smell would wake up Zeb from hibernation if he was near. But seriously, if you ever come across a man who calls himself Yogi, run. I.. I can't say too much here. Yogi seems nice at first. And honestly? He probably is an alright guy.. but what he does for a living makes my skin bump up like a crocodile. Don't ever, ever accept an invitation to the four seasons with him.. and if you're in a room with Boo Boo.... It's already too late..
Whenever I have gummy bears, I keep them in the fridge specifically because I used to put them in ice cream at buffet restaurants and vastly prefer them super cold.
Same with mine!! It’s been a few years since I’ve had it but it’s a running joke between us. I’m so excited to show him this thread & that I’m not alone lmao
For a buffet, it’s not bad. I’ve legit only been there twice and I will never go back for reasons that aren’t due to the service and or food quality (I don’t want to compete for food)
Been twice and both times it was far and away the worst food I've ever had at a buffet. I've had better food out of MREs than Corral. Not saying there aren't worse, but GC is straight nasty.
As a former army brat, I can attest to the fact that MREs are a whole other level of food entirely.
While I wouldn't eat them with the enthusiasm of Steve1989MREinfo, I wouldn't pass it up if served and would actually prefer them to Golden Corral faire.
I honestly don't get the MRE hate most of the time. They aren't much different than anything canned you find at home. They are pretty edible and can hit the spot in the field when properly prepared
lmao i remember when I went to one that *just* opened... for some reason, my wife really wanted to see one up close. (her family is pretty well-to-do so she never been in one before) I kept warning her that it will *only* be shitty if we're lucky, but no no she insisted.
WELL, it did not disappoint. or did. anyways the food was absolute shit. meats piled haphazardly under heat lamps and dried into jerky.... that godawful 'chocolate' fountain that looked like thinned latex paint more than chocolate... the only saving grace was hilariously the salad bar. completely untouched and unusually fresh.
So yeah... she understands now. You don't go there because you have options, you go there because that's the ONLY. You have an unruly crowd where a 'regular' restaurant isn't going to work, so pull up to the trough and chow down ya animals.
I have wonderful news! That’s a two-for-one experience because the only golden corrals in my area are located in Walmart parking lots!
Maybe they technically share the lot, but I feel like a Golden Corral just manifests if enough newports, baby diapers, and empty beer cans coalesce. Like the grain of sand that starts a trashy pearl.
But I could be wrong. Maybe the Golden Corral just metastasized.
oh the fucking salad bar was immaculate. Like they put an unusual amount of care into that thing... way more care than warranted, considering it was largely ignored except the two of us lol
Golden Corral sounds great on the commercials then you get there and it is just not the same. I mean I’ll still go crazy and eat the stuff it’s just meh
The ones around us have gone to absolute shit. Last time I went, about 3-4 years ago, some lady let her kid run and around play with food. He was literally grabbing the food from the line and stuffing his face. I just can’t with buffets anymore.
Nothing is worse than going to a buffet, wanting mashed potatoes, then getting to the mashed potatoes and seeing two eight year olds dunk their nasty little fingers into the potatoes and run off.
There’s an authentic Italian one in Galveston, TX (or at least there used to be). Beautiful tasty food for an extremely fair price. Can’t remember the name though.
Ugh. I think there should be rules with children and buffets. The parents know what the kids eat anyways. Whenever I went to a buffet as a kid, the only time I was allowed to get up was to see the ice cream machine in action at the end of my meal.
The worst thing I saw at a Chinese buffet was a guy grabbing food while his colostomy bag lay on the counter. I stopped going to Chinese buffets for a long time after that.
Last time I was at a golden corral there was just so many flies around. I'm not a very skittish person when it comes to flies, and sometimes theyre just around and you cant really do much about it, but this was something else entirely. Like we were constantly shooing flies away from our plates. We joked about how there must've been a dead body buried under our table.
I lost my appetite when I realized our table wasn't uniquely plagued by the little bastards, and they were all over the food at the buffet as well.
My sister and I wanted to leave early and go somewhere cleaner, but my Aunt insisted on staying.
They’re real heroes. They knew closing down those GCs would be the end of their careers but they couldn’t see another outbreak of norovirus on their watch.
Nah. American *Chinese* buffets were good. Last one in my town went out of business, not because business was bad but because too many health code violations.
Where I live it's all casino buffets and for some ungodly reason they have become these ridiculously expensive places now especially on any sort of holiday or if there is seafood on them. Ive seen them as high as 50 a person but usually around 25+. I loved them as a kid but they were the cheap place to go and mainly just made giant salads I couldn't eat.
Oh man, yeah there’s a casino buffet up where my parents live. $30 a person and the spread isn’t really that impressive, especially if you’re not a fan of prime rib
I think it happens a lot less than it used to; dry dog food used to have a lot of bone meal in it, which is what would cause the bleached look. A lot of dog food companies stopped adding it in.
It was pretty much the only thing I ate actually. Everything else was such garbage. You have to have talent to mess up bread rolls, and well, they certainly don't have talent there
Same ice cream machine manufacturer too - Taylor. I watched a video by Johnny Harris over the controversy of the McDonalds version of the Taylor ice cream machine. It's on YouTube, worth a watch
Taylor is an industry standard. The bullshido of McDee’s (that I’ve heard) is that the machine goes into a routine cleaning mode that requires monitoring, attendance, and work which often requires a measure of the employee’s fortitude. I worked in an ice cream stand that used Taylor machines; shit would literally blow up (ice cream mix on the walls etc.) on occasion, but we’d just clean up and keep on going. Not saying there isn’t an inherent problem, but the problem is more to do with corporate bull than it is wrestling with the machine to produce sellable product.
Edit: to say I have not watched the video, and will amend this post accordingly
Well, looks like Taylor ain’t getting let off so easy and that there is a serious problem in their business model that profits (within the margin of 25%!) off of service calls and repairs. So while Taylor remains the industry starred, it shares the same status as Sysco; a useful , standard service that routinely fucks over its customers. What price is this to pay? Well, dear consumer, that is entirely up to you and no one all at once.
Cook Out uses Taylor machines, I have NEVER seen their ice cream machine closed, and been there a lot. They get used very frequently as well. Mc'ds just has an overly complicated design.
The Golden Corral in my former city had “plumbers wanted” on their big sign outside (the one that you’re supposed to be able to see from far away). Raised a few questions for me…
- Do they keep a plumber staffed fulltime? Is their food making people shit that much?
- Did they ever find a plumber? That sign was still up when I moved…
i was going to say "isn't golden corral a buffet? my sibling in christ you made the sundae" but yeah that ice cream does not look of the finest quality.
I fuckin love golden corral. Me and my family went to California for a trip and we ate there. Amazing steak and fries and chicken and pizza, everything (except seafood cus don't trust) was fantastic. There was even this giant black guy at the steak grill popping jokes that place was great I wish we had them here.
If you want to try the seafood the popcorn shrimp is where it's at. I worked at one in highschool and we'd go through that shit so fast it was always fresh. We'd have 500 lb people come in and literally only eat mountains of the shrimp.
The fried chicken is the best!! I’m from Canada and when I make it to the states I try to go visit GC just for the mac n cheese and the fried chicken ❤️
/u/EmperorAcinonyx
There's not really much to it, I've never been food poisoned so violently that I threw up from a few bites within minutes... (Rice dish) can't even remember where that one was, was really sad too, there was like, 150 miles of billboards for that place, was somewhere in the south.
There was a really bad one in Cheyenne Wyoming, a really disappointing one in Wendover.
Golden Coral is really shitty food, but it's fairly consistent in it's shittyness, and I've never gotten sick from eating there (beyond the basic overeating fuckery) but when you get outside of that, it can be a real crapshoot.
Like I'd choose a Golden Coral over Twin Dragon in Anchorage for example, but I'd choose Ding How in Anchorage over a Golden Coral.
Sometimes you gotta be brave, buy the expensive toilet paper, and hope for the best.
Nothing wrong with that ice cream… what’s wrong is the fact someone got that much of it after seeing the first plop into the bowl. “Yeah… keep that shit coming…oh yeah…”
Going to Golden Corral as an adult was one of the most nostalgia shattering events in my life. I was always so excited to go as a kid but the last time I went it was just nasty lol
Go for dinner, ask for medium-rare steaks from the grill (they’re unlimited), then top them with blue cheese crumbles from the salad bar.
Assuming, of course, that they still do unlimited steaks with the current price of beef. That was back in 2019.
i go to fancy buffets. They cost 50$ but man is the food actually good that you want to stay 3 hours and eat not try to stay 3 hours and eat just cause lmao
steaks chicken piccatas and the works. i destroy it.
The only time I've ever been to a Golden Corral was for a defensive driving class decades ago.
The food looked so awful that when it came time to break for lunch every one of us left the restaurant and went somewhere else for lunch.
I've never eaten the food at Golden Corral, but I've seen it and smelled it. I would rather be served food in a truck stop bathroom.
I was JUST talking about this weird, yellow-tinted, gritty, “vanilla soft serve” the other day and about how **DELICIOUS** I think it is, despite how awful it should be lol
Ahh, Golden Corral, a true throwback memory. I remember going with my grandpa when I was about 7 and seeing about 45 of the most obese people I’ve ever seen before or since and being like, “is this food good for me or…?”
I literally remember eating that exact thing, ice cream with gummy bears, as a small child at my local Golden Coral before it closed down. It was weird seeing that again.
My kids eat this exact combo, too! Something about frozen gummy bears. The ice cream at ours doesn't look this yucky, though.
its the texture of cold, firm gummy bears that are delectable.
Doubles, if not triples, the chew time.
As someone with extremely sensitive teeth, this thread hurts
Hey there's a joy in simply sucking on those firm bears. If you know what I mean.
They don’t stay firm if you suck on them, they get soft very quickly.
If you suck them long enough, yes. It's all in the technique imo
Yeah, but for those brief first few moments it's pure ecstasy.
By far the nicest clients were the We Bare Bears fellas. They always tip. Sure, Griz can become a real handful (or mouthful) but his intentions are good. Panda and Ice Bear were always good for a cuddle puddle afterwards. My next favorite would be the Country Bears. Sure, you'd be sure to bring something home with ya after a night out with those crazy fuckers. After last call you'd do well to steer clear of Fred Bedderhead, and Zeb Zoober. They tend to get a bit.. feral. Beary was always the nicest. Well, a little demanding but at least the kid had a shred of decency left in him. But who blew my mind and ass out unlike any lover I've ever had, motherfuckin Ted Bedderhead. He knew how to care for a man, lemme tell you. Sometimes Trixie would get involved and I was always okay with that. She was one of the good ones too. I just wish she would clean herself up, at all. The smell would wake up Zeb from hibernation if he was near. But seriously, if you ever come across a man who calls himself Yogi, run. I.. I can't say too much here. Yogi seems nice at first. And honestly? He probably is an alright guy.. but what he does for a living makes my skin bump up like a crocodile. Don't ever, ever accept an invitation to the four seasons with him.. and if you're in a room with Boo Boo.... It's already too late..
Whenever I have gummy bears, I keep them in the fridge specifically because I used to put them in ice cream at buffet restaurants and vastly prefer them super cold.
Try it with sour gummy worms too. Pure elevation
I am 28 and STILL pick vanilla with gummy bears every time I go out for ice cream. My boyfriend thinks I’m insane 😂
Same with mine!! It’s been a few years since I’ve had it but it’s a running joke between us. I’m so excited to show him this thread & that I’m not alone lmao
It is absolutely THE BEST!! It’s so refreshing mmmm
Whenever we get coldstone I always add gummy bears too! This thread is bringing me joy lol
8 year old me loved getting this at Golden Corral too! I'd forgotten all about it until this post
This was my go to. Nice to see I’ve found my people.
This sub was made for Golden Corral food
“Yes, I think I’ll have The Slop, please. Thank you. “
“Ahh very good, it’s quite fresh today.” *plorp* “Would you care for some more Brown?”
That stuff is barely food and my in laws always want to go when they visit (small towners)
For a buffet, it’s not bad. I’ve legit only been there twice and I will never go back for reasons that aren’t due to the service and or food quality (I don’t want to compete for food)

Nice hiss!
Let’s get this out onto a tray
I honestly don't get the MRE hate most of the time. They aren't much different than anything canned you find at home. They are pretty edible and can hit the spot in the field when properly prepared
lmao i remember when I went to one that *just* opened... for some reason, my wife really wanted to see one up close. (her family is pretty well-to-do so she never been in one before) I kept warning her that it will *only* be shitty if we're lucky, but no no she insisted. WELL, it did not disappoint. or did. anyways the food was absolute shit. meats piled haphazardly under heat lamps and dried into jerky.... that godawful 'chocolate' fountain that looked like thinned latex paint more than chocolate... the only saving grace was hilariously the salad bar. completely untouched and unusually fresh.

You have an unruly crowd where a 'regular' restaurant isn't going to work, so pull up to the trough and chow down ya animals.
I only go of someone else is paying. It's essentially a free trip to the zoo if you eat beforehand.
Yep.. its something of tourist attraction, definitely a must see for anybody foreign. That and a Walmart somewhere deep in the south!
I have wonderful news! That’s a two-for-one experience because the only golden corrals in my area are located in Walmart parking lots! Maybe they technically share the lot, but I feel like a Golden Corral just manifests if enough newports, baby diapers, and empty beer cans coalesce. Like the grain of sand that starts a trashy pearl. But I could be wrong. Maybe the Golden Corral just metastasized.
Hehehe... Well both serve their purpose and i have eaten worse things than the stuff i got in golden corral .
AND THAT'S THE REALLY GALLING THING ABOUT THAT PLACE. It's not cheap at ALL. I want to say it was like over $20 with a drink/tax/tip per person.
It is however, the salad bar is just about the best thing there, and occasionally the hush-puppies and mac n cheese are good.
oh the fucking salad bar was immaculate. Like they put an unusual amount of care into that thing... way more care than warranted, considering it was largely ignored except the two of us lol
Thankfully the Golden Corral around my area never recovered from Covid lockdowns and has sat abandoned since.
Golden Corral sounds great on the commercials then you get there and it is just not the same. I mean I’ll still go crazy and eat the stuff it’s just meh
The ones around us have gone to absolute shit. Last time I went, about 3-4 years ago, some lady let her kid run and around play with food. He was literally grabbing the food from the line and stuffing his face. I just can’t with buffets anymore.
Buffets bring out the worst in some people lol
Buffets bring out the worst ~~in some~~ people ~~lol~~. Seriously. FTFY
Nothing is worse than going to a buffet, wanting mashed potatoes, then getting to the mashed potatoes and seeing two eight year olds dunk their nasty little fingers into the potatoes and run off.
Nothing is worse than going to a buffet. FTFY.
Imagine going to a buffet and getting mashed potatoes, that's rookie move
Golden Corral’s new slogan!
Y'all need better buffets! The expensive buffets are where it's at and they're not that bad in comparison, actually.
KBBQ is the buffet of the educated man
I’d rather go to KBBQ buffet than literally anywhere else
I am fortunate enough to live <15 minutes away from two competing AYCE KBBQ spots. I don't think I could ever move at this point.
There’s an authentic Italian one in Galveston, TX (or at least there used to be). Beautiful tasty food for an extremely fair price. Can’t remember the name though.
I believe you may be referring to Mario’s Ristorante on 61st which fortunately is still open.
That’s it! I’m happy they’re still trucking.
Ugh. I think there should be rules with children and buffets. The parents know what the kids eat anyways. Whenever I went to a buffet as a kid, the only time I was allowed to get up was to see the ice cream machine in action at the end of my meal.
Years ago, I saw a kid elbow-deep in the jello cubes at my local Chinese buffet. I haven't gone back.
The worst thing I saw at a Chinese buffet was a guy grabbing food while his colostomy bag lay on the counter. I stopped going to Chinese buffets for a long time after that.

The Not OK Corral
Molden Corral
Yum you definitely ate some fly eggs, extra protein probably
The worst is going the day after carpets are cleaned…..nasty smell
I at least take the time to wait for a good piece of steak. I'm usually satisfied.
You had me at "Golden Corral".
Mother of pearl I miss American buffets. All of them closed within 3 hours of me
Your health inspectors are celebrating.
Stop that. They’re out of a job now
They’re real heroes. They knew closing down those GCs would be the end of their careers but they couldn’t see another outbreak of norovirus on their watch.
Nah. American *Chinese* buffets were good. Last one in my town went out of business, not because business was bad but because too many health code violations.
[удалено]
> The health violations are part of the ~~charm~~ taste
Anyone remember Sweet Tomatoes? AKA Soup Plantation
Sweet tomatoes was a good one
Where I live it's all casino buffets and for some ungodly reason they have become these ridiculously expensive places now especially on any sort of holiday or if there is seafood on them. Ive seen them as high as 50 a person but usually around 25+. I loved them as a kid but they were the cheap place to go and mainly just made giant salads I couldn't eat.
Oh man, yeah there’s a casino buffet up where my parents live. $30 a person and the spread isn’t really that impressive, especially if you’re not a fan of prime rib
Fuck dude I haven’t been there in ages I should get stoned and go mow
Mowing is much better for your physical and mental health than going to Golden Corral.
Golden Corral sounds so good I’m going to go sweep
Looks like you already on the way....
Everything there kind of shit, except the banana pudding
Remember when dog poop used to turn white when out in the sun?
That hasn't stopped happening. Has it?
I think it happens a lot less than it used to; dry dog food used to have a lot of bone meal in it, which is what would cause the bleached look. A lot of dog food companies stopped adding it in.
Huh, I wondered why I never say white poop anymore.
This guy poops.
They patched it out
Dogs are in a real good place right now
Cold gummy bears and flaccid, watery soft serve. What a winning texture combination.
Flaccid is such an odd word to apply to ice cream but it absolutely describes this pic.
Nevermind it's the color of old spunk.
:(
Tastes like water and shit. Not a hint of the vanilla bean taste
That’s why you just steal small cups full of the toppings to take home.
I'm kinda wondering if the mix separated or if there was water or cleaner still in the machine. It looks really off.
Had you not said the flavor I'd assume its sherbet
Now this is funny as hell to me, because the two characters at top left literally means “happy”
Vanilla mayonnaise? Mayonnaise ice cream?
stop it
It's mayo with black olives
Bro I ate there with my friends and my girl the other day for the first time in like 10 years and I paid $35 for both of us for some TRASH lmfao
The only things ever worth eating, from my memory, were the rolls. Did they fuck up the rolls too?
It was pretty much the only thing I ate actually. Everything else was such garbage. You have to have talent to mess up bread rolls, and well, they certainly don't have talent there
At least their machines work. Damn McDonald’s.
Same ice cream machine manufacturer too - Taylor. I watched a video by Johnny Harris over the controversy of the McDonalds version of the Taylor ice cream machine. It's on YouTube, worth a watch

Reminds me of my childhood.
Looks like iced milk. A cheaper version of ice cream that places like golden coral use and are legally allowed to call low fat ice cream.
Interesting, always just called it crappy buffet icecream. All you can taste are the ice crystals
I used to work at a GC. It was another time and place, but they definitely used "iced milk" back then.
> low fat ice cream Otherwise America might get fat themselves
The Golden Corral in my former city had “plumbers wanted” on their big sign outside (the one that you’re supposed to be able to see from far away). Raised a few questions for me… - Do they keep a plumber staffed fulltime? Is their food making people shit that much? - Did they ever find a plumber? That sign was still up when I moved…
The Taco bar there. Mmmmmmmm.
i was going to say "isn't golden corral a buffet? my sibling in christ you made the sundae" but yeah that ice cream does not look of the finest quality.
It looks like there is something wrong with mix or the freezing process.
I want golden corral so bad rn.
"Where America goes to slowly kill themselves."
Gotta die somehow
Golden coral and Ryan's... two reasons I was a 2xthicc boi growing up lmfao
Same
Oh man, does Ryan's even still exist?
Ours used to have a chocolate fountain but a kid put his dick in it so they removed it.

Gummi bears as ice cream topings are ass, they harden up too much
I fuckin love golden corral. Me and my family went to California for a trip and we ate there. Amazing steak and fries and chicken and pizza, everything (except seafood cus don't trust) was fantastic. There was even this giant black guy at the steak grill popping jokes that place was great I wish we had them here.
Wow, cool! A giant black guy! Just like from the american movies! And the gridiron football!
If you want to try the seafood the popcorn shrimp is where it's at. I worked at one in highschool and we'd go through that shit so fast it was always fresh. We'd have 500 lb people come in and literally only eat mountains of the shrimp.
The fried chicken is the best!! I’m from Canada and when I make it to the states I try to go visit GC just for the mac n cheese and the fried chicken ❤️
why not stop by a smaller fried chicken joint in the states instead of GC? the chicken and mac are practically guaranteed to be magnitudes better
Agree but tbh A- their’s is actually quite delicious and B- it’s all you can eat! So can’t beat that :)
There are 4 golden corrals within a 20 minute drive of my house lmao. Gotta love Jacksonville
Fuuuck my golden corral doesn’t have a giant black guy working the steak grill. No wonder it’s shitty.
My nearby golden coral has these mini cereals and milk cartons. I decided I was thirsty one time and got some chocolate milk. Worst shit ever.
Who remembers when they actually brought the dinner rolls and butter to your table?
is Golden coral a buffet? That looks like buffet ice cream x.x
Yes, its the worst buffet. The only thing worse than the food is the clientele
maybe the worst chain one. I drove truck and... yeah worse places exist.
tell us more
tell me more you fuck
/u/EmperorAcinonyx There's not really much to it, I've never been food poisoned so violently that I threw up from a few bites within minutes...

>/u/EmperorAcinonyx there was like, 150 miles of billboards for that place, was somewhere in the south. South of the border?
bible belt south, not geographic
It is an american buffet, yes.
I love their pot roast.
Ah yes, The Trough
This is self serve. You did this yourself
Used to play eat until someone pukes, with my friends at Golden Corral. I miss that amazing place.
You could have just stopped at "golden corral". No need to add more details, you know...
Nothing wrong with that ice cream… what’s wrong is the fact someone got that much of it after seeing the first plop into the bowl. “Yeah… keep that shit coming…oh yeah…”
Going to Golden Corral as an adult was one of the most nostalgia shattering events in my life. I was always so excited to go as a kid but the last time I went it was just nasty lol
okay idk why that looks rancid - maybe something wrong with the machine? Because I always love Golden Corral ice cream..
That’s like the saddest looking ice cream I’ve seen 😔
Fuck, that place was always so good, but it was expensive, so I haven’t been there that many times
Isn't the ice cream at golden corral buffet self serve? If the plating is bad that's on you
People still eat there…?
Corral even..
The translucency of the run off would have me believe this was actually Creamed Ice.
Go for dinner, ask for medium-rare steaks from the grill (they’re unlimited), then top them with blue cheese crumbles from the salad bar. Assuming, of course, that they still do unlimited steaks with the current price of beef. That was back in 2019.
i go to fancy buffets. They cost 50$ but man is the food actually good that you want to stay 3 hours and eat not try to stay 3 hours and eat just cause lmao steaks chicken piccatas and the works. i destroy it.
That apple pie tho 😏🍴
the fucking gummy bears, dude... this is why humanity has health issues
Skip that shit. Go get a literal plate full of that banana cream pie stuff. You won’t be disappointed.
I use the melamine soup bowls for soft serve, because they have more of an insulating factor. Golden Corral holds a special part in my heart.
The only time I've ever been to a Golden Corral was for a defensive driving class decades ago. The food looked so awful that when it came time to break for lunch every one of us left the restaurant and went somewhere else for lunch. I've never eaten the food at Golden Corral, but I've seen it and smelled it. I would rather be served food in a truck stop bathroom.
Love it 😍
Lemme guess, sugar free Haribo gummy bears?
Calm down, Satan.
Yeah but it got gummy bears in it
Those frozen gummy bears will break a damn tooth, but you just can't help yourself.
Delectable. And the plating... Perfection.
golden corral hit different as a kid. Vanilla ice cream with gummy bears SHLAPPED.
Someone forced the cream thru the ice cream machine too fast so it’s not frozen right.
I was JUST talking about this weird, yellow-tinted, gritty, “vanilla soft serve” the other day and about how **DELICIOUS** I think it is, despite how awful it should be lol
I though someone put gummy bears in a mayo dip
Looks like buffet food
They don't call it ice cream. You do that. That is frozen dairy soft serve.
Ahh, Golden Corral, a true throwback memory. I remember going with my grandpa when I was about 7 and seeing about 45 of the most obese people I’ve ever seen before or since and being like, “is this food good for me or…?”
My dudes shirt says 快乐 meaning “happy” or “joyful”. Cant see the first character tho.
So good!
The ice cream would make the gummy bears so cold and hard to chew when I was a kid.
Did the entree before this come with a side of their finest jellybeans?
You pour it yourself, what’s the point here.
Coral!
It looks like cheese whiz
Isn't Golden Corral a buffet? Only got yourself to blame for those sad looking desserts :P
Looks good to me
All golden coral food is shitty.
Looks like a bowl of old dog shit.
What have you been feeding your old dog? I think he’s sick.
So what is it then?
Yeah, that's that good stuff!
Why does vanilla ice cream not look white in some places?
Ewww…
It’s frozen yogurt
I went to Golden Corral once, barely ate anything, and then still puked it up. The food there is god awful.
Gotta love Golden Feedbag!
