If the common ice cream cone no longer poses a challenge, might we suggest you step up your game to this?
Have your taste buds ever wanted to blast off into outer space? Want a dessert treat that's out of this world? No need to try to shoot the moon this holiday season — we've got a scrumptious delight that's sure to please. With numerous apologies for the onslaught of puns, we present to you this: The Haagen Dazs Ice Moon ice cream cake, formed in the shape of the Earth's moon.
The dairy treat comes in two different flavors: white moon and orange moon. The white moon is constructed of macadamia nut ice cream, merengue, and a coating of raspberry ice cream. The orange moon is layered nutty ice cream and caramel, with a coating of vanilla.

The only time normal people seem to care about national beauty pageants is when one of the contestants messes up the question-and-answer round in the worst way possible. Well, it happened again last night at the Miss USA pageant, with Miss Utah giving an answer so bad that it eclipsed all other terrible pageant answers before her. Meet 21-year-old Marissa Powell.
