- Which Ice Cream Brand Actually Has the Most Cookie Dough? from BuzzFeed - The good folks at Buzz put four popular pints of ice cream to the test to see which one gives you the most dough for your dough. They tests a pint of each to weigh how much cookie dough chunks were in each one and then figured out what percentage of the ice cream was cookie dough. Brilliant research. You could extend this with a taste test to see if people prefer more cookie dough in their cookie dough ice cream. Great excuse to eat some ice cream.
