An ice-cream parlor is like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, only instead of the inevitable nuclear whitewater dinosaur catastrophe, you get delicious ice cream topped according to your whim. Today's Groupon takes you on a journey into the heart of flavor: for $5, you get $10 worth of custom-crafted ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. Today’s deal is only valid at Cold Stone Creamery’s North Loop location.
Cold Stone Creamery's ice cream, which is made fresh in stores every day, inhabits a quantum flux between soft-serve and traditional ice cream, with a rich, creamy texture that whispers tales of its super-premium quality as it glides over taste buds. Choose your favorite base flavor from among dozens of silky tastes, such as sweet cream, cake batter, and butter pecan. The creamy cups generously welcome dozens of toppings as traditional as crumbled cookies and chopped nuts or as quirky as granola, brownies, and pieces from magnetic poetry sets.
Sufferers of premature brain freeze who are unable to invent a creamy concoction can try a Cold Stone Signature creation ($4.39¬–$5.39), such as the almond-studded and caramel-slathered Coffee Lovers Only, or the Peanut Butter Cup Perfection featuring Reese's peanut-butter cups and fudge. The Frankencream you desire will be scooped cold off the grill into a freshly made waffle cone or bowl. Custom ice-cream creations are priced from $2.99 to $3.99, depending on size.

The Groupon Guide to: Surfing the Internet
Containing everything from the great works of literature to spoilers for the upcoming presidential election, the Internet can be a valuable resource—if you know how to use it. Use these tips to ensure a productive trip to cyberspace and back:
- Type the word surf into your computer's keyboard at anytime to access your Internet's web browser.
- If your computer is less than 10 years old, your browser must be voice navigated. Shout such things as "photo of a helicopter" or "birth parents?" and let the Internet do the rest.
- The Internet has more than 60 websites. Remember your favorites by "bookmarking" them (writing their names down on a bookmark you keep nailed to your computer).
- Surf safely. Not only is this practical advice, it's also the name of the web's official mascot, Surf Safely, the surfing coyote who reminds children not to burn down the Internet.
- Unplug and unwind. Using the Internet for more than four minutes a day will cause hair to grow uncontrollably from your mouth.
