Episode Recap[]
Warning Spoilers!
Bandit, Stripe, Bluey, Bingo, and Muffin are in a gift shop. The girls want to buy some toys, but their fathers don't let them, at one point, Muffin accidentally gets a toy dinosaur stuck to her ear.
After they leave the shop and passes an ice cream cart nearby, Bluey and Bingo want ice cream, but Bandit vetoes it since his daughters had ice cream the previous day and he feels it's too much sugar for them. To his annoyance, however, Stripe buys Muffin an ice cream, feeling that she deserves one after the toy dinosaur got stuck to her ear. Bluey and Bingo want a lick of Muffin's ice cream, but she doesn't allow them any.
As Muffin and Stripe leave, Bandit decides to buy his daughters ice cream after all, though he only allows them one scoop each. Ultimately, he also buys a cup of ice cream for himself.
On the bench, the girls decide to give each other a lick of their ice creams. However, when Bluey sticks her tongue out, Bingo thinks that Bluey's tongue is "out too far". When they reach an agreement on how far Bluey's tongue should be out, they start another argument over who should lick first. They try to both lick at once, but cannot reach each other's ice creams, and keep spinning in a circle and wandering around in the sun throughout the park until the ice creams melt.
They ask Bandit for more ice cream, but he refuses, saying that it's not his fault that they melted. While Bandit gives a life lesson to them, Bluey is dismayed, disagrees as she just wanted ice cream and not a life lesson. Eventually, he decides to give his ice cream to the girls, and they decide to share it between the three of them.

Trivia[]
- When Bluey and Bingo circle profusely while trying to lick each other’s ice-cream, the music, Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky plays.
- The statue Winton and his dad, are admiring the Grand Arbour is a street performer - there are no statues in the Grand Arbour, and there is a cloth under his support cane.
- Bluey and Bingo being concerned about the second who licks taking a bigger lick is an example of "game theory" such as the "prisoner's dilemma."
- Bandit and eventually the girls get chocolate ice cream. In real life, chocolate is poisonous to dogs, and can possibly kill them because Chocolate is known to contain Theobromine. This is, however, for human chocolate, as dog chocolate does exist and is more likely to be consumed here. This also occurs in Bad Mood.
- In the toy shop, there is a box full of Sticky Geckos, a reference to the episode, Sticky Gecko.
- The book Bingo reads in the shop is the same one from Sleepytime.
- Long Dog: This long dog is brown and appears to be holding a spiral shell like the ones it is hidden behind. It is located on the middle shelf at the very start of the episode. It is visible only within the first second or two of the episode, and again briefly as Stripe tries to help Muffin after the toy dinosaur toy gets stuck to her ear.
- When this episode aired on Disney Channel in the U.S., it was paired with Bad Mood and Double Babysitter.
