Have you ever had an IT'S IT ice cream sandwich? The all-caps treat has been a San Francisco favorite for almost 80 years. It sandwiches a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two soft oatmeal cookies, and the whole thing is dipped in chocolate, making one of the finest ice cream sandwiches you can buy.
The version that you can't buy is even better, though.
Google had their chef, Nate Keller, work with IT'S IT to make a trans-fat free version that is all natural and made with locally sourced ingredients. This Google version went on sale is free in the employee cafeteria, complete with Google logo on the wrapper.
Perhaps we'll all get to sample this new version in the future, but for now we'll have to content ourselves with the classic. You can order them online from the factory, and get overnight delivery anywhere in the US. If you can get ahold of them and you ask nicely, maybe the Google cafeteria would be willing to ship their version, too.
