Baskin Robbins vanilla ice cream in a 2 litre tub with the pink rim and BR logo, for sundaes, cones, shakes and dessert service.
A white tub with a hot-pink lid and base, the big blue-and-pink BR monogram on the side with a little cone tucked into the B, and vanilla ice cream written in English and Arabic near the top. The gallery shows the tub beside a steel ice well full of neat scoops, and next to a tulip glass sundae with whipped cream, a cherry and a rolled wafer. As general background, Baskin-Robbins was founded in 1945 by Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins in Glendale, California, that it is the world's largest chain of ice cream specialty stores, and its logo hides a stylised 31 inside the letters B and R, a nod to its 31 flavors slogan. Vanilla is typically the flavour that goes with everything. A 2 litre tub suits a cafe freezer, a party or a family dessert night. Commonly, it is scooped into cones and cups, layered into sundaes with sauces and nuts, blended into shakes, served beside warm cake, kunafa and brownies, and spread between sponge layers for an ice cream cake. Let the tub soften briefly before scooping, then return it to the freezer quickly with the lid pressed down.
