Plot

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.

At her mansion, Muffy is showing Brain clips from his family's past when Brain protests during her presentation, saying he has owned the ice cream shop for four years and that he is not going to lie about his family's history.

At Brain's house, he and Buster were trying to figure out what to do. Buster suggests a mascot. Brains disagrees at first, but then gives it a try. It did not go well.

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.
