Up until very recently, “goon” meant something different and had no sexual connotation whatsoever. I’m still a little hazy on what “goon” has turned into, and why.

Not that recently, urban dictionary has a post from 2006 that defines goon as a chronic masturbater or as the act of masturbation.
Wow, history right before our eyes.
Less than 20 years is pretty recently. I have t-shirts older than the new use of “goon.”
Less than 20 years is pretty recently
In what world?! Even if you're 50 years old, that's still almost half of your entire life.

Wow, so Something Awful was being very prescient 20 years ago when they came up with the name for their cooking forum.
I was thinking of this remix as soon as I saw someone asking for a definition. It’s the best.
From specific characters in Popeye comics to a general "someone's thugs" to chronic masturbation. Quite an unexpected ride for the meaning of a word.
Poor The Goonies
There's a whole section of pornhub dedicated to it, if you get bored
Question: Only ice-cream made with milk can be labelled as ice-cream in my country (India). If it doesn't use milk, it has to be labelled as frozen dessert. Do other countries have similar regulation?
Per the USDA:
| Ice cream shall contain at least 1.6 pounds of total solids to the gallon, weigh not less than 4.5 pounds to the gallon, and contain not less than 20 percent total milk solids, constituted of not less than 10 percent milkfat. In no case shall the content of milk solids not fat be less than 6 percent. Whey shall not, by weight, be more than 25 percent of the milk solids not fat.
Not only must it contain milk, but the amount of milk and milk fat per unit volume is regulated in the United States.
I think the non-milky ones are usually called sorbets, but for example small fruity ice creams on sticks we still can ice creams and these don't have milk. So I guess my answer is no we don't (in Europe).
We colloquially call a lot of things I've cream that aren't labeled ice cream, and aren't legally ice cream.
The US has tediously long definitions for different foods, and ice cream needs specific proportions of milk products, as well as limits on other physical properties.

So while I might pick up some sherbet and say "I got ice cream", and people would know what I meant, it would never be labeled ice cream.
I also like oat milk ice cream, but it's actually labeled "frozen dessert" because it doesn't contain dairy.
The company isn't allowed to use a term that might mislead a unwitting or uninformed consumer, but the consumer is free to have a more relaxed definition, and stores can put things where you would expect.
In the US we also have sherbet which is made with dairy; but we don't label it ice cream. So I'm guessing if we even have a legal ruling about it, it might not have anything to do with how much dairy is in it.
Also should add that my favorite non-dairy frozen thing is Rice Dreams. Which is like ice cream, but made with rice. It also doesn't claim to be ice cream.
In Canada, it must contain cream. Milk based desserts are labelled ice milk, and anything using oil or solids is a 'dessert'. The primary determining factor of the definition is the milk fat content.
The labeling is heavily regulated, it must contain a certain amount of actual cream too. Unfortunately shit tier “frozen desert” can be sold on the same shelf intermingled with the good stuff.
And the marketing doesn’t help either.
But it is very easy to check for the initiated bc it wont be labeled as ice cream. And easy to check ingredient list too. When I buy ice cream, I only buy when the first ingredient is actual cream.
You WILL goon with da spoon and you WILL like it
I fucking love this movie so much.
For 6 bucks? I can goon with a spoon for free lmao
You might want to stay away from any Australian wine that’s packaged in a plastic bag then.
The ice cream you can never finish.
why is no one yelling
But it is so RICH and CREAMY!
It’s licensed by and nicknamed after the rapper E-40.
Excuse me sir, do you have a licence and registration for that ice cream?
