ICE CREAM SCOOP

   I had posted "ice cream scooper" before.  "Ice cream scoop" is not in the OED.  Just dreadful on food.

Anyboy who has tried to preserve even a degree of impartiality in her haste behind the scenes at a church fair, for example, will recognize the value of this invention.")

ICE SCOOP

   Not in OED.  I guess the OED people never stayed at a hotel and got ice?
