This is isn’t the first time I’ve talked about SpongeBob Squarepants. My interview with The Ghastly Ones talked a bit about the single they did for the SpongeBob “Scaredy Pants” episode.

Then there was my interview with actor Maxie Santillan Jr., he played Gummy the Pirate in SpongeBob Squarepants the Movie.

How could I not mention Johnny Depp’s cameo as Jack Kahuna Laguna, a surf guru, on the episode,“SpongeBob vs. the Big One”?

This time around I’m talking about SpongeBob SquarePants: To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants, a DVD available now and loaded with 8 fun episodes.

Two of our favorite episodes on the DVD are:

To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants
SpongeBob’s shrunk his last pair of square pants, and no store has any others! Without his square pants, will anyone recognize him?

Slide Whistle Stooges
Patrick and SpongeBob use their new slide whistles to add sound effects to Squidward’s every move!

We love the special features Animation Art Gallery. It contains storyboard panels and character art. It’s always fun to go behind the scenes.

What do you think, do SquarePants make the man? Or should I say sponge?

I’ve been addicted to Drumstick’s lately. Those yummy Original Sundae Cones by Nestle.

Not only are Drumstick’s delicious they also have a great story. Thanks to an ice cream maker at the World’s Fair in 1904 for running out of bowls and coming up with the smart idea to use rolled up waffles as cones. The ice cream cone was born. The idea for the Drumstick was a couple decades away.

According to the Nestle Drumstick website:

“… in 1928, I.C. Parker, a manager at a Ft. Worth, Texas candy company, had the idea of coating an ice cream cone with chocolate and peanuts.

His wife, Jewel, thought it looked like a fried chicken leg, so he called it a Drumstick, which is way better than Fried Chicken Leg. And I.C. and his twin brother, J.T. “Stubby” Parker, opened the Frozen Drumstick Sales Co. shortly after.”

I forgot how much fun these ice cream concoctions are to eat with their rich chocolate layer topped with roasted peanuts and the creamy vanilla ice cream inside a crispy sugar cone. My favorite part is the chocolatey surprise at the bottom. Oops, I gave it away! These “innovations” were added as the years went by and in 1991 Nestle bought the company.

These days we can indulge with the Original Drumstick and we can splurge with new flavors like Vanilla Caramel & Mint. They’ve created snack size Lil’ Drums and Cookie Dipped flavors.

I remember the first time I had a Drumstick on a hot summer day. My usual favorite, the 50/50 Bar was second runner up once I found the chocolatey surprise at the bottom of my cone.

How about you, do you remember the first time you had a Drumstick? What’s your favorite ice cream truck treat?

Speaking of ice cream trucks, I need to pop in Eddie Murphy’s Delirious DVD again. ICE CREAM!!! Click here to watch a clip.
