==Plot==
Arthur, Muffy, Buster, and Francine look at a poster for an ice cream store called [[Yumbobo]]. Brain criticizes their overly-fancy marketing. As Binky enters to tell them about Yumbobo's penguin mascot, everyone except Brain runs outside.
Yumbobo, the new ice cream shop has just opened up across the block. With whimsical flavor names, futuristic furniture, and a cute mascot named Puk Puk, Yumbobo is threatening to put Brain's shop out of business, and Brain was not happy. Then he attracts Francine and Muffy. Muffy invites Brain to her house for campaign ideas.


<center>'''Brain Freeze'''</center>
At her mansion, she is showing Brain clips from his family's past when Brain stops her in the middle of her presentation, saying he's had the ice cream shop for four years and that he's not going to lie about his family's history.


Brain visits Yumbobo, and despite enthusiastic staff and unique flavor names, he is still not impressed. At his house, he examines that all of Yumbobo's flavors are the same as the ones in his store. He shows Buster, who suggests that Brain add gimmicks to prevent his store from going out of business.
At Brain's house, he and Buster were trying to figure out what to do. Buster suggests a mascot. Brains disagrees at first, but decides to give it a try. It did not go well.


Brain offers a free "chemical analysis" with customers' ice cream, which Francine and Muffy do not find interesting. Muffy suggests that he sell an "experience" instead of ice cream, and makes a fake story about the ice cream shop's history; Brain refuses to lie and leaves.
At the Sugar Bowl, Buster was trying to juggle ice cream. It did not go well, but it gave Brain an idea. Many people arrive to blend their favorite ice cream flavors, finishing the episode.


Worried that the ice cream shop could go out of business, Brain daydreams his mother being employed at Yumbobo. He goes to [[Jack's Joke Shop]] and buys a polar bear mascot costume. He stands outside the ice cream shop, but gets his free samples taken by Binky and a bee gets into his costume.
==Characters ==


Serving himself at the ice cream shop, Buster attempts to juggle ice cream, but ends up mixing the flavors together. He tastes it and enjoys it, and Brain gets the idea to create an ice cream mixing lab at his shop. Two Yumbobo employees visit the store, to which Brain says, "I knew you'd be here sooner or later!"
