We like our books, we like our icecream, and it follows by logic that we must love ice cream flavors inspired by books, if only for the packaging. Philadelphia based book publisher Quirk Books has come up with a rather sweet collection of ideas and images on ice cream flavors inspired by books.

Wait, It Gets Better: Ice Cream Bread
Taste buds love a new treat every so often, and when it comes wrapped into two well known foods, it can be either very palatable or a disaster. Thankfully though, the Ice Cream Bread looks more like the former, and we could always try our hand at the ice cream bread with more ice cream. How awesome would that be? Very. Redditor airforcehusband tried a hand at the ice cream bread, and apparently the results have been favorable. Given the recipe is easy enough, it looks worthy of at least a try, if only for the glory of an ice cream bread.
Facecream: The The Facebook Ice Cream
The word Facecream brings nefarious thoughts to our mind, but we will put our dirty mind aside and look at the object at hand. Croatian designer Tomislav Zvonarić, who earlier earned some fame with the facebook bed, has now come up with a facebook inspired ice cream/ice candy he calls Facecream. It is a concept, and it will stay that way for all time to come, because we know well that Facebook is quite protective and litigious about its name and trademark.
Gluttony is Not a Sin When Your Ice Cream is Made of Holy Water
We would guess gluttony would not be a mortal sin if our ice cream contained heaps of holy water. But then it is named Vice Lolly, so we guess it does have the sin factor attached. A creation of ice cream shop Icecreamists, the greenish lolly is made of three parts holy water imported from the spring at the Grotto of Massabielle at Lourdes, a pilgrimage place for catholics, and one part of the alcoholic drink absinthe.
You Got This Right: Beer Infused Ice Cream
The world is now a better place with beer infused ice cream. Just as the way god intended it, most of the ice cream options are sold as a six pack only. Since nothing can be perfect in the mortal world, the ice cream is non-alcoholic; that good stuff evaporates during the cooking process.

Ice Scream Man
We like the idea and all, but how in the name of the lord is one supposed to eat this?
Stoyn ice cream has the tastiest looking flavors of them all
Stoyn has blended ice cream flavors with popular figures from around the real and fictional world to create some of the best looking ice creams around. There’s Che Guevara, Darth Vader, Mario, Mickey Mouse and other figures to sit on top of these sticks, and I bet some of them do taste real good.
Amphibious ice cream van
The world’s first amphibious van recently set sail in the Thames, apparently to take the domination of ice cream vans from land to water. Named HMS Flake 99, the van will sail through the UK’s rivers, canals and shore to sell its ice cream.

London parlor puts breast milk icecream on sale, calls it the Baby Gaga
An icecream parlor in London has found a great way to grab the attention of people, and make money while doing that. They’ve come up with a brand new ice cream, made from breast milk. Dubbed the Baby Gaga, the ice cream is available at a restaurant in Covent Garden. The icecream is priced at £14 ($22.5), but price would probably be the last thing on mind of people buying this flavor.

Marijuana flavored ice cream
A shop in Santa Cruz, California is selling marijuana-flavored ice cream for medicinal purpose, of course. Makers of the ice cream “Crème De Canna” say each bite is equivalent to four or five puffs of a really good cigarette. This ice cream has more calories than the conventional ice cream, but I don’t think that is going to deter patrons. All that is needed to get the ice cream is 15 bucks and a medical marijuana card.
