Thrifty Old Time Ice Cream Scooper Rite Aid | Original Stainless Steel Scoop | Cylinder Ice Cream Scoop with Trigger | Commercial Grade Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop

Best ice cream scoop ever invented. Easy to use, easy to clean, plus it kinda looks like a retro laser. 10/10 recommend.

just like the one from back in the day. Works well.

This is just like the ice cream scoop our neighborhood Thrifty had 50 years ago when I was a kid. The scoop is very sturdy, easy to clean and effective. Love it! Be sure to get the right size cones for the scoop.

I was hoping the ice cream would lift right up with this gadget when coming up. My hands get sticky with ice cream because I have to go sideways. A little pricey for this gadget

Great ice cream scoop. Have always wanted this one and finally found it on Amazon. Fun purchase.

The sought after ice crystals in Thrifty’s ice cream was most likely the result of the Mpemba effect.That’s the name of the event that takes place when hot water drips to freezing levels.Combine that with a metal scooper you get tiny ice crystals in the ice creamThrifty used to soak the metal scooper in hot water and the hot water would drip into the ice creamWhen this scooper soaks in hot water it’s much easier to get the ice cream to release, and you get tiny ice crystals

The media could not be loaded. I bought this for the nostalgia and have never used this style of ice cream scooper since they were only available at Thrifty's ice cream counters. After receiving mine, I was ready to scoop -- actually had a half gallon of Thrifty ice cream at home.It does take some getting used to but like other online reviews, the ice cream can stick to the top of the device so the ice cream doesn't release from the scoop. Maybe there's more technique that I don't know about but when I tried to get the ice cream loose, my scooper locks up as the interior ceiling mechanism reaches the maximum lower point and kinda jams.What is odd is that when you get Thrifty ice cream at the store, it has these ice chips in it that adds a pleasant texture to it. But, I never got those textures with home scooped Thrifty vanilla ice cream until I scooped it with this scooper. It's not in my head as I eat enough ice cream to know.I am keeping this despite the ice cream sticking to the top and jamming issue since this is part nostalgia for me but I want to get another half gallon of Thrifty vanilla ice cream and see if I can get those 'ice chips' again?

I love it so far although the material looks a little cheapBut it worked!
