Ice Cream in Three Languages

Ok, can't help but post  this  ad   for  Nestle  Ice  Cream  of  the  World  Temptation  series:

-
Quite engaging as the ice cream itself. I've tried Italian Coffee Affogato and its velvety/satiny/silky texture and almost subtle coffee-ness is AAA++++. Although  I  could use a  little less  sugary-ness. I've yet see French Salted Caramel in the supermarket, though. Will hunt  for it.

Ok,  this  Italian  looking  guy  speaking  Italian  and  this  Russian  looking  girl  speaking French  on the  phone  re  their  formal  ice cream date ( have yet   to  get  the  translations  of  their  conversation) . The  unexpected   endearing  twist   is  the  final  exchange  that  surely  captures   the   Pinoy  sensibility, at least mine --  girl  says  "Sarap"  (Delicious)  and  the guys  says "Sobra"  (  more    difficult  to  translate  and capture  the  exact  nuance  that  the  Pinoy  idiom  conveys  --- over the  top,   more  than  satisfying, more than  OK,  to  the  max, I'm at  a  loss ...)  Just  get  the  ice  cream  and  state  your  verdict in  whatever language
