Would you eat herring ice cream? Or horseradish ice cream? Well, Ripley's Believe It Or Not! in Times Square will be offering some free—but definitely weird—flavors today.

The attraction says, "To help beat the summer heat, guests visiting the Odditorium from 12pm to 6pm are invited to take a spin on the Wacky Wheel of Ice “Screams” to receive a free sample cone and the chance to earn half-price admission. Filled with outrageous tasting challenges, Ripley’s Wacky Wheel features a variety of shocking flavors such as pizza and curry, a blind taste test, mystery topping, and much more. Guests who successfully complete their designated ice cream tasting (or at least make a valiant effort trying), will receive half-price admission to the museum on Friday, August 17."

The location's general manager Michael Hirsch said, "At Ripley’s Times Square we’ve mastered the unexpected and with flavors like horseradish…people will literally scream for ice cream." Apparently theflavors will also include mustard and pickle! Quick, tell your pregnant friends!
