Ice cream and popcorn have been friends for years despite ice cream’s never having visited popcorn’s microwave ranch, and popcorn steering clear of ice cream’s freezer penthouse. Spread snack love with today’s Groupon to either the Häagen-Dazs & Popcorn Palace in Naperville or the Häagen-Dazs Shop at Navy Pier in Chicago. Choose from the following three options:
- For $5, you get $10 worth of Häagen-Dazs ice-cream treats in Naperville or Chicago.
- For $5, you get $10 worth of Popcorn Palace popcorn in Naperville.
- For $10, you get $20 toward any Häagen-Dazs ice-cream cake in Naperville (48-hour advance order required).
The gourmet treats at Häagen-Dazs and Popcorn Palace delight discerning palates with more than 25 flavors of frozen goodies and 27 varieties of popcorn. Made from top-quality ingredients, Haagen-Dazs ice creams and sorbets confidently fill cups and top cones ($3.84–$5.42) or blend into shakes ($5.42) and smoothies ($5.87) in an attempt to lose taste-bud tails. Popcorn Palace's crispy puffed maize morsels are popped in micro batches to ensure consistent high quality across four flavor categories: candied, seasoned, original, and supreme & nutty ($2.50+). The macadamia butter crunch mix ($7.95 for a small bag; $35.95 for family-size) softens macadamia nuts’ hardened exteriors with buttercream and brown-sugar kisses, and the Chicago Style’s caramel and cheddar mix ($6.75 for a small bag; $19.95 for family-size) represents its city admirably, earning plaudits as “the popcorn that works.”
Dress up special occasions or congratulatory sick days with a luscious Häagen-Dazs ice-cream cake, available in classic configurations such as chocolate drizzle and birthday fun, and customizable in any of the shop’s flavors ($20–$42.95). Because each frozen torte is crafted according to customer whim, a 48-hour advance notice is required on all cake orders.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?
Enjoying television is as patriotic as knitting an apple pie or eating American flags. Here's a look at some of the components that make up these high-tech picture boxes:
• Glass: A high-end TV has a glass screen that when turned off (not recommended) will reflect your image. When turned on, it will reflect how awesome TV is.
• Cathode Ray Tube: No longer needed for modern TVs to work, but manufacturers still put one in every set just for old times' sake.
• Gold: TV signals, like men's hearts, are lustily attracted to gold, causing them to fly out of the sky into the gold brick in the back of every TV.
• A Couple of Horse Bones: 'Cause why not, right?
• Wires: They hook up to the wired helmets that all the actors wear to beam their acting into your TV.
• An Eternal Flame: To honor the former TV stars who have died.
• Tiny Fire Extinguisher: In case the eternal flame gets out of control.
• IBM PetaFlop SuperComputer: Guesses when you want to change the channel, lower the volume, etc., all to cover up the fact that the remote control doesn't do anything.
• Martin Sheen: He's gotta live somewhere.
