A comic with six rows of boxes. Top row, box 1: Text says "Haagen-Dasz Ice Cream" and a speech bubble says, "Woah!" People are walking into a Haagen-Dazs store. Top row , box 2: A person behind a counter asks, "Hi! What flavor do you want?" A girl with a blonde ponytail looks at the many options and says, "Umm" Row 2, box 1: Same girl continues, "I don't know." Row 2, box 2: Close up of the person behind the counter with a straight face. Text says, "Blank stare" in all caps. Row 2, box 3: Person behind the counter says, "You have to make a choice, Kid." Person is holding an Ice cream scooper, and a speech bubble from the unseen girl says, "Never mind, I found what I want!" Row 3, box 1: Text in all capital letters says, "SMOOTHIES!" The image shows a hand with a smoothie and the girl with cash in her hand. Row 3, box 2: The girl's mom says, "You are not having a smoothie." The girl says, "I already paid." Row 4, box 1: The mom says, "Get your money back." The girl says, "Fine." Row 4, box 2: Two hands exchange cash. A speech bubble indicates the girl says, "Thanks."
