Cool as ice (cream)

Barack and Michelle snacked on ice cream before their first kiss. Isn’t that sweet? Not necessarily. Kissing—first-time kissing, especially—is a sensitive matter. And there’s nothing sensitive about getting a mouthful of your date’s scoop of pistachio. So if you want to make (out) like the Obamas, fine. But avoid the following flavors:

Rocky road You want junk in the trunk. Not in your grill.

Peanut-butter chip Do you have any idea how many people in this world are allergic to peanuts? A kiss from you should give your beau goose bumps, not hives.

Cookies and cream The cookies make your teeth black. Which in turn makes you look as if you haven’t brushed since the fifth grade.

Blackberry Seeds of change: good. Seeds of fruits: bad.

Any sorbet Eating sorbet instead of ice cream is the mark of a person who hates life. And that’s not a kissable person.
