$6 for $12 Worth of Gelato and Frozen Treats

The Gelato Fiasco’s cases at their Portland and Brunswick locations display more than 30 flavors, ranging from caramel sea salt gelato and balsamic-strawberry sorbetto to seasonal favorites including eggnog gelato and candy cane gelato ($3.50/treat; $4.21/small; $5.14/medium). Add a housemade waffle cone for an additional $1.25, or pair treats with a cup of rich drinking chocolate festooned with a choice of house-made whipped cream, toasted marshmallows, or peppermint infusions. Flavors change daily; click here for today's lineup. Staff members are happy to provide complimentary samples, and can squeeze multiple flavors into one dish or cone.

In addition to the savings included in this Groupon, customers can also take advantage of The Gelato Fiasco's Frozen Code discount; for every degree below freezing (32 degrees) the outside temperature is at the moment of purchase, customers receive 1 percent off their gelato or sorbetto purchases. The Frozen Code stays in effect from the first day of winter until the last day of winter.

The Gelato Fiasco

Some might say that The Gelato Fiasco is the most delicious type of fiasco there is. Joshua Davis and Bruno Tropeano would certainly agree. They began their mission to perfect Italy's favorite frozen treat in 2007. Nearly six years, two locations, and over 1,000 flavors later, their signature gelato frequently earns plaudits from gourmands at MSNBC, Fortune, CNN/Money, and Every Day with Rachael Ray. Their new Old Port store also earned praise from taste testers on the ground, winning awards such as Maine's Best Ice Cream Shop in the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram's 2012 reader survey.

Each day, the team's trained ice cream makers whip up more than 30 flavors of gelato and sorbetto, ranging from mango and pure lemon to Twix, Kit Kat, and chocolate pretzel. The Gelato Fiasco’s artisanal methods produce treats using only milk from Maine farms, natural cane sugar, and heaping scoops of fresh fruits, roasted nuts, and high-quality candies and confections. They also craft dairy-free sorbettos in flavors including balsamic-strawberry and chocolate noir. Gelato and sorbetto alike arrives in dishes, housemade waffle cones, or full pints to go; customers are also encouraged to mix flavors to create customized treats.

The Groupon Guide to: Dog-Show Breed Standards

With billions of viewers and ad revenue through the roof, it’s no secret that everybody loves watching dog shows. But what do they judge these pedigreed pooches on? Hint: the things in this guide:

1. Is the Dog Crying? A sad dog is never a winning dog. An exemplar of the breed should be happy and boisterous, not a gross crying mess. Plus, the only dogs even capable of crying are genetic aberrations.

2. Has the Dog Eaten a Judge’s Finger During the Process? Only one dog (a mastiff named Grandmaster Waddlesplint) has ever won after consuming a judge’s finger. (It was only a pinky.)

3. General Dogliness: Is this really a dog? Not a pile of ants or a popular wooden toy? How much of a dog is the dog? Like, way dog or just some dog? This is generally the most important.

4. Telepathy Test: No dog has ever passed this test, but judges are holding out hope.

5. Pick Your Favorite: None of this matters. The judges just pick their favorite dog.

Is that dog really a dog?
