If the cruel temptations of the Play-Doh Fun Factory taught the world anything, it's that mouthwatering creations are more gratifying when they're actually edible. Swoop spoon-first into a scoop of icy eats with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of frozen custard at Polar Bear Frozen Treats.

Polar Bear Frozen Treats’ frozen custard, churned slowly to avoid whipped-in air, coats tongues with a dense, creamy coolness fashioned daily from an authentic Midwestern mix imported from Neenah, Wisconsin. Dairy gurus fill cups or cones with single scoops ($2.80) of rich flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, or orange creamsicle, serving them slightly warmer than normal ice cream in order to avoid freezing taste buds or overchilling susceptible brains. Concretes, a blend of custard and toppings, concoct straw-defying feats, configured into flavors such as Oreo, peach cobbler, or grandma’s apple pie, which contrasts the sweet richness of the cream with salt-roasted pecans and sarcastic one-liners ($4.99–$6.99).
