Draft:Bison Bomb

The bison bomb is the title of a desert that was previously sold at the Catalina island Two Harbors general store ice cream window and may come back in the future. Catalina island is a part of the Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California and is a popular destination for tourism and amazing snorkeling/diving locations. The town got its name of Two Harbors because the width of the island is narrowest at the part of the island with it only being approximately half a mile long before reaching the other side of the island where another harbor (Cat Harbor) lies. Two Harbors is also the lesser known town on Catalina island with only a population of roughly ~300 people. However, on the holidays such as Labor Day weekend, the quiet town suddenly booms with life as boats harbored on the coast of California and others visiting the island from the ferry rush over to have a relaxing island-feeling vacation. This is where the general store (which is the only one in the town of Two Harbors) makes most of its profit especially at the ice cream window where it is pretty much the only place to pay for soft served ice cream in the town. The contents of the bison bomb that was previously sold consisted of three scoops of ice cream of any flavor that the customer desired and a plethora of up to three toppings to choose and add onto. On top of that, it was drizzled with chocolate syrup and caramel and finished off with whipped cream and sprinkles. This high calorie but incredible feat of a dessert was exactly what customers on the island sought for especially amidst a hot and humid day. A popular choice of flavor for the three scoops of ice cream was either chocolate or rocky road since it would more resemble a bison poop hence the title bison bomb. And so, with the legacy of the bison bomb remembered only by few, we can only hope and wish for the return of the menu item and its tasty combination.
