‘”The freshman 15′ is a term used in the United States and Canada to describe the weight students gain during their freshman (first) year of study in college or university. The term refers to the often-reported, yet unsubstantiated claim that freshman typically gain 15 pounds during their first year.” – Wikipedia

Hey Wikipedia, consider it substantiated. We found the source of the dreaded Freshman 15 at our very own West Chester Scoop, and we can prove it:

freshman fifteen

If you’re having trouble reading, allow me to translate (emphasis mine):
The Freshman Fifteen $27.95
15 Scoops
2 Sauce Toppings
Whipped Cream
6 Cherries for 6 people or more

I’m so glad that they don’t forget the cherries with this monstrosity. Could you imagine trying to plow through this thing without them? Rumor has it that if you can eat the whole thing by yourself you get a cool photo on the wall, but make sure you ask before you buy it in case they changed their policy. All I can say is Wow.

If anyone ever dares to take on the challenge, please let us know so we can document the momentous occasion and share it with the rest of the WC Dish community.

Comment Guidelines
Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.

Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.

We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.

Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.

Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.

Be Concise. 'Nuf said.

What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.

Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.

Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.

Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.

If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.

Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.

We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
