For all those sitting around concerned they haven't gotten their National Mustard Day plans in order yet, don't fret! French's has it all taken care of...in the form of mustard-flavored ice cream.
Yes, beloved readers. In celebration of the momentous day (which is August 3rd, for those of you who don't have your priorities straight), French's and Coolhaus came up with the concoction. Per PEOPLE, anyone who's interested in trying it can do so at any of Coolhaus's New York City or L.A. locations later this week. At Coolhaus's Culver City location, you'll also be able to get it from August 9-11.
We were fortunate (?) enough to get our hands on the stuff ahead of its official release and are here to report it's really not so bad. Sure, the radioactive yellow color is "extremely off-putting," one editor who tried it noted, but once "you get it in your mouth, it has a very nice creamy texture to it. It doesn't kill you."
If "it doesn't kill you" isn't enough of a ringing endorsement for you, please know that other editors who smelled and tasted the ice cream were surprised to find it smelled like cotton candy and bubblegum and tasted strangely French vanilla-y. The staff's conclusion? "It doesn't taste like mustard."
There you have it. Close your eyes. Open wide. And swallow, I guess? Whatever. Happy National Mustard Day, you filthy animals.
