Popular ice cream shop launches new flavor based on Columbus’ infamous road construction

With construction seemingly a permanent fixture on every street here in Columbus, maybe it’s time to just embrace the humor in our constant battle with potholes and traffic cones. 

Our way of doing that is creating an entire ice cream flavor out of the roadwork woes. 

(614) Media Group has teamed up with local favorite CRMD to create an ice cream flavor that’s not just creamy and delicious – it’s a tribute to Columbus itself, complete with its notoriously bumpy roads. 

Meet (614) Rocky Roadways: a marshmallow base with chewy marshmallow chunks, plus dark chocolate bark laced with celtic sea salt, and crunchy, salty pretzel pieces. The ground Oreos and pieces of Oreo Thins mimic the city’s cracked asphalt and potholes, just in a much tastier way. It’s the ultimate combination of sweet, salty, and satire.

For those who really want to lean into the joke, top off your scoop(s) with the limited “construction cone” sprinkles!

“Knowing this flavor was going to be a very limited thing, and with us being able to partner with (614) to make this even more unique, we had to bring the heat. We used the best products to make it, and tested multiple variations until we landed on our final rendition,” explained Ben Stoyka, founder & owner of CRMD.

Grab a scoop for yourself anytime between June 1-30 at either of CRMD’s locations. There’s a shop in the Short North, located at 1190 N. High St., and out in Lewis Center at 5915 Evans Farm as well.
