If we all screamed at once for ice cream, the resulting sonic boom would destroy the sun, turning the entire solar system into a freezer in which we could store more ice cream. Warm up your shoutin’ muscles with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of ice cream and treats at The Hop.

Ice-cream slingers at The Hop, a 1950s-style malt shop, scoop creamy concoctions into crunchy waffle cones alongside gluten-free, Kosher, low-carb, no-sugar-added, and nondairy frozen desserts. A two-scoop sundae ($4.75) of Birthday Cake ice cream combines swirls of blue icing and pieces of white sponge cake, replicating the experience of biting into a whole birthday cake without ingesting a lit candle. Try a single-scoop cone of tiramisu ($2), sweet italian cream cheese and coffee ice creams mixed with ladyfingers, shaved chocolate, and chocolate-espresso swirls, or grab a quart ($7) to go. Customers can divvy up a banana split ($6), ice cream robed in chocolate, strawberries, pineapples, and whipped cream before setting sail in a banana yacht, or forego the sweets for a hand-dipped corn dog ($3) served on a stick to put anxious puppeteers at ease.
