CINCINNATI — From asking someone where they went to high school to "Please?" to having strong opinions about certain culinary items, Cincinnati has its day-to-day quirks. But sometimes something happens that is so Cincinnati it reverberates through the city, sparking hot debates and snarky social media commentary for much longer than that. This year, that happened kind of a lot.
Here are the top 9 "most Cincinnati" things that happened in 2024: Is it the most Cincinnati collaboration of all time, or a complete affront to the senses? The jury may still be out on that — though we saw you all commenting "I'd try it" on social media. In October, a listing on Kroger's website seemed to show a Graeter's Skyline Chili ice cream pint being sold for $7. This sparked plenty of online debate about whether or not this product was a very real food item that could be obtained.
"A daring fusion of flavors in a Cincy chili-flavored ice cream: the creamy ice cream is infused with warm chili spices. Swirled throughout are crunchy oyster crackers and shreds of cheese that provide a tangy contrast to the sweet treat. This unconventional union offers a bold, adventurous taste experience that combines zesty ice cream with crunchy elements in every bite," the website said.
Ultimately, a spokesperson with Graeter's told us the artwork seen on the Kroger site is simply concept art. A spokesperson with Skyline said that while there certainly is a collaboration in the works between Graeter's and Sk.
