Scoop the ice cream into a bowl like you’re making a delicious treat. Ignore the feeling of dread.
Drizzle ketchup on top like it’s strawberry syrup (the resemblance is uncanny, but your taste buds will tell a different story).
Add the potato chips for that perfect salty crunch and because it’s 2 a.m. and no decisions are good at this hour.
Place the pickle slices neatly on the ice cream. Let them sit there, silently judging you for what you’re about to do.
If you’re feeling brave, add a squirt of mustard for that extra tangy kick. (Warning: this is the point of no return.)
Top with whipped cream and sprinkles—it’s important to create a façade of normalcy.
Garnish with a cherry, because every disaster deserves a bright spot.
